Because UBBC is easily measured (requires a single blood specimen, results rapidly obtainable as with any routine blood chemistry test) in comparison to TBGP (requires phlebotomy, multiple blood specimens and several days to obtain the results), we suggest that UBBC might be useful clinically as...
