However, there are no clinically applicable markers for measuring AGES in vivo.Methods: We have recently introduced the AGE-Reader (DiagnOptics B.V., Groningen, The Netherlands) to noninvasively measure AGE accumulation in the human skin of the forearm, making use of the characteristic autofluorescence (AF) pattern that AGES encompass. Skin AF is calculated as a ratio of mean intensities detected from the skin between 420-600 nm. and 300-420 nm.

Skin AF levels are increased in patients with diabetes and renal failure and are associated with the presence of vascular complications.

Since skin pigmentation might influence skin AF, we have investigated the relation of relative skin reflectance (R%) to skin AF in subjects with varying skin phototypes (SPT).Results: The data presented in this article suggest that only in subjects with an SPT of V and VI or R% 12%, and more research is needed for a broader application.Conclusion: The AGE-Reader is useful as a noninvasive clinical tool for assessment of risk for long-term vascular complications in diabetes and in other conditions associated with AGE accumulation.",
