Marker
  • ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) might be related with the pathogenesis of disease and correlated with the severity of the disease
  • ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and AVP detection is clinically useful in the early diagnosis and prognosis of acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP)-related myocardial injury and in guiding early clinical drug application
  • elevated levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) can be a clinically useful marker of protein oxidative damage and oxidative stress (OS) in hypothyroidism
  • IMA may act as a marker of ischemia and oxidative stress in newborns delivered to pre-eclamptic mothers
  • may also be a valuable marker in perinatal hypoxia and IUGR detection
  • Therapy target
