Abstract:
A method for rapid diagnosis of an organ specific disease state of a subject, using an infrared spectroscopy of a blood sample of said subject, said method comprising the steps of:irradiating said blood sample with an infrared light, obtaining an infrared absorbance spectra of said blood sample in a frequency ranging from about 400 cmâˆ’1 to about 2000 cmâˆ’1 and further from about 3000 cmâˆ’1 to about 3100 cmâˆ’1, comparing said infrared absorbance spectra with a normal infrared absorbance spectra correspondingly obtained from blood of known healthy subjects, identifying deviations of said infrared absorbance spectra from said normal infrared absorbance spectra in predetermined organ specific regions of said frequency range, and providing a diagnosis for an organ specific disease state based on the presence of said deviations.
