Biomarker is short for biological marker and is used as an indication that a biological process in the body has taken place or is commenced. While some biomarkers are used to show that the body has been exposed to a chemical, toxin or other environmental impacts - most related biomarkers with medication. Biomarkers are not medical symptoms such as a high temperature that a patient can use to determine how well they are, but an increased heart rate due to physical exertion is a biomarker. The enlarged heart rate is a biological response to the exercise.
Medical use of Biomarkers
There are many medical uses of biomarkers and the use of biomarkers will be significantly stretched as modified medical care becomes standard. Biomarkers can be used to find out what will happen to you when you use a particular treatment, or not to use it, and the risk of your emerging certain medical conditions.
Diagnostic use of Biomarkers
An example of the diagnostic use of biomarkers is the measurement of biomarkers in blood to determine if you have had a heart attack. Measuring the levels of enzymes, hormones and proteins in your blood allows the doctor to determine the severity of your heart attack and how much damage your heart has suffered.
A simple blood sample can be analyzed and the levels of marker chemicals measured. In the case of a heart attack, a doctor may examine the following:
• Cardiac troponin is a protein that enters the bloodstream shortly after a heart attack and stays there when other biomarkers return to normal levels.
• Creatine kinase is an enzyme that increases concentration after a heart attack. A definite type of CK can be measured to determine the damage to the heart.
Biomarker levels can change over time and appear and disappear in different stages after an attack.
Which Medicine should I take?
It is in the area of dealings that biomarkers can have the major potential benefit. Researchers are constantly observing for new and more sensitive biomarkers to help make preventative and personalized treatments.
Defensive biomarkers show the risk of a person getting a particular disease; for example, a genetic mutation is currently used to indicate the increased risk of getting breast cancer.
