Medical Research Breakthroughs and Liver conditions

Medical technology to help detect Liver disease: Scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Washington Liver Transplantation Program in Seattle are joining hands to develop a new proteomics technology and apply it in search of biomarkers for liver disease. Currently there are no simple blood tests to determine which of the millions affected with hepatitis C virus will develop cirrhosis or cancer of the liver. Statistics show that about 1.6 percent of the U.S. population has signs indicating they have been or are infected with hepatitis C virus, and up to 12,000 people each year die from HCV-induced liver damage and cancer. A percentage of infected people develop various levels of liver disease -- the worst requiring liver transplants -- but doctors have no way of telling whose most at risk. The new research if successful will find blood proteins which will warn the doctors of earliest signs of chronic liver disease, hence making it possible to intervene at an earlier stage of liver damage. The next level will be to make this technology available for broad clinical use, by making it both efficient and inexpensive. Future plans also include applying the same technology for the detection of biomarkers for other diseases.
