Abstract

The microproteinuria is an increase in the urinary excretion of proteins (non-selective, mainly albumine) undetectable with the routine laboratory tests. The detection of microproteinuria has a relevant role in those diseases causing renal damage and with mechanisms involving the extravasation of proteins at the level of the glomerular ball. Such detection allows a therapeutical action and the evaluation of the results. If the disease is multisystemic, it would also be correlated with lesions in other affected organs.

A hierarchical outcomes approach to test assessment.

This report describes a hierarchical classification system for clinical endpoints in diagnostic technology assessment. The model requires classification of investigative outcomes into 1 of 6 categories, including technical efficacy, diagnostic accuracy efficacy, diagnostic thinking efficacy, therapeutic efficacy, clinical outcome efficacy, and societal efficacy. Evaluations at successive levels indicate a broader understanding of the test's value. The purpose of this classification system is to help readers of the medical literature consider various aspects of test performance, and to identify aspects of a test that require additional investigation. It is also designed to be used as a template for systematic reviews of diagnostic tests. In this review, examples from the medical literature are discussed to highlight important concepts from the hierarchy model and their relevance to emergency medicine.

Evidence-based medicine: evaluating diagnostic tests.

Physicians have at their disposal a great number of established diagnostic tests, and new ones continue to be developed that are potentially helpful in diagnosing and establishing the prognosis of disease. Many of these tests were either inadequately evaluated or were found, on more careful scrutiny, to be less helpful than first believed. To ensure optimal patient care as well as appropriate use of health care resources, practitioners must be adept in understanding the true efficacy of diagnostic tests that they ask patients to undergo. They must be able to understand the basic language applied in evaluating tests and be able to determine if and when tests are applicable. (J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc 6(1):105-112, 1999)
