bio-ADM / Endothelial Function Biomarker (VIDEO)
Caption
The endothelium contributes to blood pressure and separates blood from the surrounding tissue. sphingotest® bio-ADM® measures blood levels of bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM®), a hormone maintaining endothelial function. . Elevated blood levels of bio-ADM® predict blood pressure break down and leaky vessels resulting in oedema. Imbalanced endothelial function is the major cause of shock ultimately resulting in organ dysfunction and death. Early identification of an imbalance in endothelial function allows guidance of vasopressor and diuretic therapy in critically ill patients to improve outcomes.
