NANOG p8 gene has been evaluated as a prognostic and predictive cancer biomarker. Serum VEGF-D concentration is useful, predictive and prognostic biomarker. Kidney ultrasonography is useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in chronic kidney disease. Cellular proliferative rate is of considerable significance in this prognostic assessment. FEV is of lesser prognostic value for lung resection survival. Identification of poor prognostic factors include cerebral edema, status epilepticus, and thrombocytopenia. There are a number of prognostic factors in ovarian cancer. Prognostic scoring is also used for cancer outcome predictions. Loss of HRV has both diagnostic and prognostic value in neonates with sepsis. US is useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in chronic kidney disease. ACE inhibitors are also vasodilators with both symptomatic and prognostic benefit. These studies have potential prognostic and diagnostic uses. The aim of prognostic markers is to reflect different components of pathophysiology of ACS. Research into various prognostic factors for ovarian cancer is also going on. Several genes are commonly mutated in mesothelioma, and may be prognostic factors.
