Abstract
In the era of modern medicine, there are formed the fundamental scientific principles in the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases that are based on traditional instruments: laboratory and functional studies, light microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy. However, in recent decades these methods have become insufficient to verify various variants of the diseases, especially with an atypical clinical picture. The article discusses the capabilities of the nCounter technology from the company Nanostring Technologies, it describes in detail the capabilities of the technology in the diagnosis of various diseases, and also the authors present their own experience of using diagnostics in children with nephrotic syndrome.
