Laboratory Testing

Well, honey, that fancy jumble of letters basically means your blood has high red blood cell count, small red blood cells, low hemoglobin concentration per red blood cell, and a high variation in red blood cell size. It could indicate conditions like iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, or chronic disease. Time to chat with your doctor and figure out what's going on in that bloodstream of yours.

MP in a blood test typically stands for mean platelet volume. It is a measure of the average size of platelets in the blood and can provide information about platelet production and function. Normal MP levels can help to rule out certain medical conditions.

Only fast if told to do so.

However, to 'flush out' any unwanted sugars etc., in the blood stream, drink a coupl of pints of water over the hours before the test. This will help the kidneys to remove any unwanted substances in the blood stream.

Feces are indeed considered excreted waste because they are the solid waste product remaining after the body has absorbed nutrients from digested food in the intestines. Excretion refers to the process of eliminating waste material from the body, which includes feces.

AST stands for aspartate aminotransferase, which is an enzyme found in the liver and other tissues. Elevated levels of AST in a blood test can indicate liver damage or injury.

Yes, a person with AB- blood can receive O- blood in a transfusion because AB can receive blood from A, B, AB, and O blood types. However, individuals with AB- blood type can only donate to other individuals with AB blood type.

Usually not the first pregnancy, but if the baby is rh positive, during birth some of the baby's blood may cross into the mother's bloodstream and then she will be sensitized and will produce anti-rh antibodies, which could harm the second baby if it is rh positive. There is an injection that is given to rh negative mothers during pregnancy to prevent this reaction.

An AST blood test result of 11 is within the normal range for adults, which is typically between 10-40 units per liter. This result suggests that your liver is functioning normally and there is no indication of liver damage or disease. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and interpretation of your blood test results.

Yes. If the father is the AO variety of A, he can contribute an O and the mother can contribute the B, making a BO variety of B for the child. And, the father can give the Rh positive while the mother gives an Rh negative, which will be an Rh positive.

A result of cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG at 189.80 is considered positive, indicating past or chronic infection with the virus. This result suggests that the individual has been exposed to CMV in the past and has developed antibodies against it. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for further interpretation and guidance.

A clock has two hands but no feet.

No. If both parents are A negative the child can only be A negative or O negative.

If the child is AB positive at least one parent must have type B or AB blood and at least one must be RH positive.

Generally the child will be fine, although rare reactions can occur. The blood type shouldn't be a problem at all since the mother is AB - she won't have antibodies against either A or B antigens on the baby's red blood cells. Also, since the mother is Rh+, she won't have antibodies against Rh proteins either.

nope..well first two negatives cannot make a positive because the RH factor (or the D antigen) on the red blood cells that gives you the + or - blood type is genetically inherited. This means that if neither parent has the D antigen they cant pass it onto their children

Looking through a pinhole allows only a small amount of light to enter your eye, which creates a sharper image by reducing the effects of blurring or scattering. This effectively increases the depth of field, improving focus and clarity.

Zomig (zolmitriptan) has a half-life of about 3 hours, meaning it takes around 18 hours to be mostly cleared from your system. However, individual factors such as metabolism and dose can affect how long it stays in the body.

Yes, it is possible for two parents with O positive blood type to have a child with A positive blood type. The child can inherit the A allele from one parent and the positive allele from the other parent. The A allele is dominant over the O allele, so the child would have A positive blood type.

Blood type is not a factor in whether two people can get married. The blood test done before getting a marriage license is to test for the sexually transmitted diseases syphilis. Most areas do not require a blood test before marriage any more.

A centrifuge has holes to insert the centrifuge tubes in, a cap to secure the tubes inside, and a lid to protect both the samples and experimenter in case of malfunction. There is also typically a way to set the centrifuge speed and a power switch to turn the centrifuge on and off.

An AST (aspartate aminotransferase) level of 73 is higher than the normal range, which could indicate liver damage or disease. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and to determine the cause of the elevated AST level.

No, two parents with O type blood cannot have a child with B type blood.

This is because O is recessive - meaning in order to have type O blood, you need to have two O alleles. Therefore if both parents have O blood, all their children have to have O type blood.

In order to have a child with B type blood, at least one parent needs to have B or AB type blood - in order to donate the B allele to the child.

Yes, individuals with blood type O+ can marry individuals from any other blood type group without any health risks specifically related to blood compatibility. However, it is always recommended for couples considering marriage to consult with a healthcare provider for genetic counseling and to understand any potential health implications related to blood type compatibility.

An ornithologist is a scientist who specializes in the study of birds. They may research bird behavior, biology, ecology, and taxonomy to better understand and conserve avian species.

A cystoscopy is a procedure where a thin tube with a camera is inserted into the urethra to examine the bladder. The patient is usually given a local anesthetic or sedative to minimize discomfort. The doctor then inspects the bladder lining for any abnormalities and may take tissue samples for further analysis. After the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort or minor bleeding while urinating, but this should subside within a few days.

It means that the results weren't strong enough to make a conclusion. In other words, the issue that the test was investigating has not been fully resolved.

When used in the medical sense it means that the test has not highlighted an exact diagnosis or that it hasn't confirmed or denied what was being tested for.
