Researchers seek faster diagnosis of kidney disease amyloidosis. A researcher at Upstate is seeking the origins of amyloidosis, which can attack the kidneys, heart and liver, aided by a $3.1 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health. Stewart Loh, PhD, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Upstate, explains his work to understand amyloidosis and its mysterious factor of protein misfolding in the blood. Loh and his collaborators hope their work ultimately leads to earlier diagnoses and better outcomes for patients. “The Informed Patient” is a podcast that covers health, science and medicine, featuring experts from Central New York’s only academic medical center. Upstate Medical University has four colleges (Medicine, Nursing, Health Professions and Graduate Studies); a robust research enterprise; and an extensive clinical health care system that extends way beyond Syracuse.
