Obesity and metabolic diseases

Biomarkers in obesity and metabolic diseases

Obesity is a driving force for multi-organ fibrosis, which contributes to progressive damage in the liver, heart, and kidneys. Nordic ProteinFingerPrint™ biomarkers quantify fibrogenic activity, providing early risk assessment, prognostic insights, and objective monitoring of therapeutic response in people with obesity, type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases.

Biomarkers in obesity

Obesity contributes to fibrosis and organ dysfunction across the liver, heart, and kidneys. Nordic Bioscience’s biomarkers offer non-invasive insights into fibrotic activity, disease progression, and treatment response. These tools support precision medicine approaches in obesity by helping identify at-risk individuals, guide therapeutic strategies, and monitor the impact of lifestyle or pharmacological interventions.

Biomarkers in diabetes

Diabetic complications such as kidney disease and cardiomyopathy are driven by imbalances in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover, reflecting excessive fibrogenesis or impaired fibrolysis. Biomarkers that quantify specific ECM protein fragments—particularly collagen-derived neo-epitopes—can non-invasively monitor these pathological processes in blood or urine. Such markers provide mechanistic insight beyond standard clinical parameters, revealing early tissue dysfunction before overt symptoms appear.
