Urinary biomarkers in HIV infected subjects

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of diagnostic measures. Specifically, it is directed to a method for assessing whether an HIV infected subject who is or who will be administered a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor is susceptible to the administration of a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), said method comprising determining the amount of L-FABP (liver fatty acid binding protein) in a sample from said subject, and comparing the amount of L-FABP to a reference amount, whereby it is assessed whether said subject is susceptible to the administration of a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). Further encompassed are diagnostic devices and kits for carrying out the aforementioned methods.
