Exploring soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor and its relationship with arterial stiffness in a bi–ethnic population: the SAfrEIC–study
Schutte, Aletta E.; Myburgh, Anélda; Schutte, Rudolph; Olsen, Michael H.; Eugen-Olsen, Jesper (Elsevier, 2012)Introduction: Elevated soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) indicates an inflammatory state caused by conditions such as HIV and cancer. Recently suPARwas identified as an indicator of ... -
Extracellular matrix biomarker, Fibulin–1 and Its association with Soluble uPAR in a Bi-ethnic South African population: the SAfrEIC study
Du Plooy, Christine S.; Kruger, Ruan; Huisman, Hugo W.; Rasmussen, Lars M.; Eugen-Olsen, Jesper; Schutte, Aletta E. (Elsevier, 2015)Background Fibulin-1 and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) emerged as mediators in the development of sclerotic disease. SuPAR along with C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin delineate ... -
Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor and hypertension among black South Africans after 5 years
Botha, Shani; Fourie, Carla M.T.; Schutte, Rudolph; Eugen-Olsen, Jesper; Schutte, Aletta E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a biomarker that links inflammation with cardiovascular risk. "However, studies linking suPAR and hypertension are scant. First, we determined whether baseline ... -
Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor as a prognostic marker of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a black population
Botha, Shani; Fourie, Carla M.T.; Schutte, Rudolph; Eugen-Olsen, Jesper; Pretorius, Ronel; Schutte, Aletta E. (Elsevier, 2015)Background: Elevated inflammatory markers such as C–reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin–6 (IL–6) are wellknown risk factors for cardiovascular mortality. The less familiar marker, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator ...
