Tomas Jarzembowski

Medical University of Gdańsk

Tomasz Jarzembowski is an assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology, Medical University of Gdańsk (GUMed), Poland. He obtained a Ph.D. from the Department of Biology, University of Gdańsk (UG), in 2000, and a DSc from the Faculty of Medicine, GUMed, in 2015. After obtaining a specialization in clinical microbiology in 2003, Dr. Jarzembowski began studying biofilm formation and heterogeneity of antibiotic resistance. The latter research, which he conducted in cooperation with experts in nephrology and immunology, resulted in the designation of a new diagnostic method for UTIs, which was patented in 2017. Currently, his interests are focused on the proteomic study of virulence biomarkers of species of microbiome. Dr. Jarzembowski has been a leader of several projects of the Ministry of Education and Science, Poland, and a grant of Applied Microbiology International. He is a member of the Main Audit Committee of the Polish Society of Microbiologists (PTM), the Steering Committee of the Gdańsk branch of PTM, Applied Microbiology International, and the editorial board of several international journals. He is an author and editor of more than sixty scientific publications and book chapters.

Latest work with IntechOpen by Tomas Jarzembowski

A urinalysis is a simple test that can help find urinary tract-related problems such as kidney disease. It can also pinpoint other serious problems not so closely related to kidneys, such as diabetes, liver disease, or even various cancers. Simply put, urine analyses may provide huge amounts of information to monitor a potential patient’s condition. The history of analysis of urine for diagnostic purposes is quite long. It includes the detection of microbes as etiological agents of infection and the estimation of biochemical parameters such as glucose and protein concentration. Furthermore, the increase in the number of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease or other “civilization diseases” such as diabetes, hypertension, or obesity manifests the need for effective tools for specific and sensitive diagnosis. This book summarizes the state of the art in diagnosing infectious and non-infectious diseases based on urine analysis. Additionally, it focuses on novel techniques and applications used in everyday laboratory urinalysis. The history of analysis of urine for diagnostic purposes is quite long.
