Why Are Diagnostic Biomarkers Important in Pediatrics?
Diagnostic biomarkers are particularly important in pediatrics for several reasons:
1. Early Detection: Early identification of diseases such as congenital disorders, infections, and metabolic diseases can lead to timely interventions. 2. Non-invasive Testing: Many biomarkers can be detected using non-invasive or minimally invasive methods, which is especially important when dealing with children. 3. Personalized Medicine: They facilitate personalized treatment plans tailored to the individual needs of pediatric patients. 4. Monitoring Disease Progression: Biomarkers can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments and the progression of diseases.
