What is haptoglobin?
Haptoglobin is a blood protein made by the liver.
Is haptoglobin low in b12 deficiency?
yes
Depletion of serum haptoglobin indicates what?
Depletion of serum haptoglobin typically indicates hemolysis, the breakdown of red blood cells. In this condition, haptoglobin binds to free hemoglobin released from lysed erythrocytes, leading to a decrease in its serum levels. This can be associated with various clinical conditions, such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, infections, or certain hemoglobinopathies. Monitoring haptoglobin levels can help in diagnosing and managing these conditions.
Will haptoglobin levels increase or decrease after HTR?
It will decrease.
What color tube for haptoglobin?
The haptoglobin test is typically collected in a red-top tube, which does not contain any additives. Alternatively, it can also be collected in a serum separator tube (SST).
How are haptoglobin levels affected?
Haptoglobin levels can be affected by factors such as inflammation, infection, liver disease, and certain conditions like hemolytic anemia. In response to these conditions, haptoglobin levels may decrease as it is used up to bind free hemoglobin in the blood. Conversely, haptoglobin levels may increase in response to some inflammatory conditions.
What is measured to alter your breathing rate?
The pulse rate and the heart beat of a human being is measured to alter his breathing rate.
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.
The accounting rate of return on stockholders investments is measured by?

What is the difference between turbidimetry and nephelometry?
Chemical analysis based on the phenomenon whereby light, passing through a medium with dispersed particles of a different refractive index from that of the medium, is attenuated in intensity by scattering.In turbidimetry, the intensity of light transmitted through the medium, the unscattered light, is measured.In nephelometry, the intensity of the scattered light is measured, usually, but not necessarily, at right angles to the incident light beam.
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.
