Are serum ferritin and isoferritins tools for diagnosis of active adult Still 's disease?
Serum ferritin levels have a diagnostic value for acute ASD. The study of sialylation and abnormalities in the glycosylation of ferritin helps to discriminate ASD from arthritis or other systemic diseases. In conclusion, the glycoform of isoferritins and the percentage of glycosylation offers an additional tool for the diagnosis of Still's disease.
The findings imply that the UKCAT may disadvantage some candidate groups. This inequity would likely be improved if tutors and career advisors in schools and colleges were more informed about the UKCAT and able to offer appropriate advice on preparation for the test.
