What is the purpose of haptoglobin?
to remove damaged cells and debris and rescue important material such as iron.
Plasma minus clotting proteins?
Serum
How are haptoglobin levels affected?
acute conditions such as infection, injury, tissue destruction, some cancers, burns, surgery, or trauma.
What is depletion zone?
Ozone depletion is the thinning of ozone layer below a certain concentration. This phenomenon is termed as ozone depletion.
Why depletion layer thin?
Depletion layer is thin now. It is called depletion when the concentration is below 380 Dobson Units.
How is haptoglobin measured in rate nephelometry?
serum is mixed with a substance that will bind to haptoglobin. The amount of bound haptoglobin is measured using a rate nephelometer, which measures the amount of light scattered by the bound haptoglobin
What is haptoglobin?
Haptoglobin is a blood protein made by the liver.
Is haptoglobin low in b12 deficiency?
yes
Will haptoglobin levels increase or decrease after HTR?
It will decrease.
What occurs in anemia?
so many red cells are destroyed that most of the available haptoglobin is needed to bind the released hemoglobin. The more severe the hemolysis, the less haptoglobin remains in the blood.
What occurs in hemolytic anemia?
so many red cells are destroyed that most of the available haptoglobin is needed to bind the released hemoglobin. The more severe the hemolysis, the less haptoglobin remains in the blood.
What is the purpose of haptoglobin?
to remove damaged cells and debris and rescue important material such as iron.
Plasma minus clotting proteins?
Serum
How do you diagnose the health of a neurotransmitter?
At present, neurotransmitter depletion (or underfunctioning) is inferred. There is no reliable test for this. Serum levels of various neurotransmitters can be obtained, but they carry little meaning (since their values are not correlative with symptoms and/or conditions/diseases).
What is lacking antibodies of a specific type in serum?
Serum is serum
Blood plasma minus fibrinogen is?
Serum Serum
How can diarrhea kill someone?
Diarrhea can easily cause dehydration, serum potassium depletion and electrolytes imbalances especially in children. Critically low serum potassium level and electrolytes imbalances will result in tachycardia and premature ventricular contractions that may lead to cardiac arrest without immediate and proper treatment.
