-This revolutionary testing kit will be on display, with DRG scientific team on hand for in-depth discussion-

 

Newswise — Springfield, New Jersey, USA (July 2018)- DRG International, a leading international medical diagnostic company, will showcase the NEW DRG® Hepcidin Salivary ELISA Kit (SLV-6082) at the 2018 AACC Conference in Chicago, Illinois from July 29 – August 2.  As the first of its kind to market, this kit accurately detects bioactive Hepcidin levels in saliva samples as an additional marker to aid in identifying a variety of disorders.  In recent years, a large number of publications identify Hepcidin as a factor in regulating the amount of iron in humans.  Unbalanced iron level can lead to many common medical conditions including anemia and iron overload disease, and can occur in chronic kidney disease, inflammation, or diabetes mellitus.

  • Range: 125 – 8,000 pg/ml
