Article says "The tumours can be detected by an 'exquisitely accurate' and inexpensive blood test..." Do tell Mr Daily Mail, what is this flawless holy grail of blood tests you speak of? -----Original Message----- From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Heaney Katy (BARNET AND CHASE FARM HOSPITALS NHS TRUST) Sent: 05 August 2013 13:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Aldosterone assay requesting is likely to boom... --- This message was sent from an email address external to NHSmail but gives the appearance of being from an NHSmail (@nhs.net) address.

Can anyone access the article? http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ng.2716.html I can not read - ?but is it talking about a genetic test - ?£15 seems unlikely for that. The BHF that co-sponsoered the research doesn't mention a £15 test http://www.bhf.org.uk/media/news-from-the-bhf/curable-blood-pressure.aspx Aldosterone assays provider- would it cost us £15 to send you a sample for Aldosterone? Where have they got this figure from?
