Urine Samples
Urine, a readily accessible and information-rich biofluid, offers a unique window into the complex pathophysiology of these debilitating conditions, enabling researchers to uncover critical biomarkers, unveil disease mechanisms, and identify personalized drug and therapy development strategies. At Protheragen, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive range of urine sample products that cater to the diverse needs of researchers worldwide.
Urine Samples for Autoimmune Disease Drug and Therapy Development
Protheragen is committed to providing urine samples from both normal and patient donors with various autoimmune diseases, which are crucial for the development of targeted drugs and therapies. Our specialization includes samples from patients with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, and more.
Biomarker Discovery and Validation
Urine samples from autoimmune disease patients are instrumental in the discovery and validation of novel biomarkers. For instance, specific protein patterns in urine have been linked to lupus nephritis, a severe manifestation of SLE, allowing for earlier diagnosis and more precise treatment.
Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics
Understanding how drugs are metabolized in the body is essential for drug development. Urine samples provide a direct window into the pharmacokinetics of experimental drugs, helping researchers optimize dosing regimens and predict potential side effects.
Disease Monitoring and Therapy Evaluation
Longitudinal studies using urine samples can track disease activity and response to treatment over time. For example, changes in urinary biomarkers can indicate the effectiveness of a new therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, guiding development and adjustment of therapy.
