Laboratory Testing

Not taking Rh Factor into consideration, O is the universal donor. All blood types can receive type O. For information, AB is the universal recipient. They can take any blood type. Remember, this excludes the Rh Factor.

An elevated monocyte count usually indicates an immune response in the body, potentially due to an infection or inflammation. It could also be a normal response to stress or certain medications. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be needed to determine the underlying cause.

It is possible for a child to have a blood type that is different from either parent if both parents are carriers of a different blood type allele. In this case, the child could inherit the O negative blood type if both parents are carriers of the O negative allele.

The mucous membrane serves as a protective barrier in the body, lining various organs and cavities. It helps trap pathogens, preventing them from entering the body, and also helps lubricate and moisten surfaces for easier movement and function.

45% means 45/100, so about 45 people out of every one hundred people have O type blood. That is 9/20 in exact form.

I. INDICATIONSRoutine blood cultures should be performed on any patient in whom there is a suspicion of bacteremia or candidemia.Isolator blood cultures should be performed on any patient suspected of having one of the following:1. Subacute or chronic endocarditis with multiple negative BACTEC system cultures. It is appropriate to use the BACTEC system for the initial workup of endocarditis of any suspected etiology. Isolators should be used after multiple BACTEC cultures are obtained and fail to reveal an etiologic agent (including HACEK).2. Suspected deep fungal infection, such as histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and coccidioidomycosis. Ordinarily, cultures of other sites, such as tissue biopsy, and in some cases serological tests, are more helpful than blood culture.3. Suspected mycobacteremia, particularly in HIV patients with CD4 counts <50.4. Suspected disseminated gonococcal infection.5. Suspected bartonellosis.6. Suspected candidemia or disseminated cryptococcosis in patients for whom routine cultures have not detected Candida species or Cryptococcus neoformans, respectively.7. Suspected Malassezia furfurinfection, an agent of catheter-associated infection in patients receiving intravenous lipid.The indication for use of isolators should be given to the microbiology resident (pager #980-9869), who must approve the test.The following is not an indication for blood cultures of either type:Surveillance for infection before the clinical suspicion of infection exists.

Yes, a sample of blood from a piece of clothing can be used for DNA testing. The DNA extracted from the blood can be compared to known DNA samples to help identify a person or provide information about their biological relationships.

Pus cells are a type of white blood cell that are produced by the body to help fight off infections. They are often found in areas of the body that are infected or inflamed, and their presence can indicate an ongoing immune response.

No, chromosomes can also be seen in non-dividing cells during interphase under a microscope. In interphase, chromosomes are less condensed and appear as long, thin, thread-like structures within the nucleus. During cell division, chromosomes condense further to become more visible as distinct structures.

The child would most likely have either blood type A positive or B positive. A child inherits one blood type allele from each parent, so with an AB negative mother and an O positive father, the child could receive the A allele from the mother and the O allele from the father, resulting in blood type A positive. Alternatively, the child could receive the B allele from the mother and the O allele from the father, resulting in blood type B positive.

The streak plate method allows for isolation of individual colonies from a mixed culture, providing pure cultures for further analysis. This helps in identifying specific pathogens more accurately compared to spot inoculations, which may not allow for such isolation and can lead to difficulty in distinguishing different organism colonies on the plate.

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the body's immune response. In a hematology test, the level of neutrophils in the blood is measured to assess the body's ability to fight off infections. Abnormal levels of neutrophils can indicate various health conditions, such as infections, inflammation, or bone marrow disorders.

An individual with AB blood type can marry any other blood type, as AB is considered a universal recipient. However, for the possibility of future offspring compatibility, it is advised to consider potential blood type combinations and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

The person who conducts lab tests on your blood is typically called a medical laboratory technician or a phlebotomist. They are trained to collect blood samples and analyze them to provide information about your health.

My son is 0- and my daughter in law is 0+ and they just had a A+ baby boy. It is very rare but the doctor said it can happen because every has a primary and secondary (recessive) blood gene. Since my d-i-law's father is A+ and her mother is 0+ and his parents are both 0+ but his mothers mother is A+ and her Father is 0+ there are many recessive A+ genes in their DNA blood type therefore they can have a A+ child. (Example mother is O+/A+ and father is 0-/A+ equals= A+/0 child.) 0 seems to be universal and can throw off a recessive gene. In our case; since it is rare; the baby and the mother's blood types caused him to have alot of jaundice (18) so he had to go back in hospital to be under the light for an additional 24 hours to bring it down. She was nursing and her milk had not come in to give him the fluids to fight off the excess billiruben count. Other than that; it will not be a problem for either of them.

As it is hard to find this information on the Internet. Most sights say no because they are stating the normal without considering the recessive secondary gene type that are rare. Ask a doctor .....it happens

Having too much protein in your blood, known as hyperproteinemia, can indicate various underlying health conditions such as dehydration, infections, inflammatory disorders, or multiple myeloma. It is important to determine the underlying cause and work with a healthcare provider to address any potential health issues.

Upon conception, you receive an allele from your mother and one from your father. Yes these could be your full brother and sister because your father could be positive with a recessive negative allele and you could've received a positive from him whereas your siblings could've received the negative allele from him. You and your siblings can only get a negative allele from your mom because her two are negative.

MPV is mean platelet volume. The average normal range for MPV is a blood test is around 7.5-10.5 fl.

A low MPV can mean many things. In a female during her reproductive years her MPV will be low for the first few days of menses [her period]. Platelet count is high in a woman after delivering a child and newborns have naturally low levels.

Basically all it means is you have a low platelet count. This in turn puts you at a risk for bruising and bleeding.

The causes of low MVP are varied and not always known. Low levels can be caused by viral infections, especially AIDS; Genetic disorders like Lupus; Hemolytic disorders, like Anemia; an overactive spleen, and taking drugs that low your count; like heparin.

Yes, a non-invasive prenatal paternity (NIPP) test can determine the baby's DNA from a blood sample taken from the mother. This test analyzes the baby's DNA circulating in the mother's bloodstream. It is typically done after the 8th week of pregnancy.

A CBC (complete blood count) is a common blood test that provides important information about the number and types of cells in your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It can help diagnose and monitor a variety of conditions such as anemia, infections, and blood disorders.

Well, darling, "heterogeneous marrow signal" simply means that the appearance of the bone marrow on a medical imaging study, like an MRI, is not uniform. It can be caused by various factors like inflammation, infection, or even certain types of cancer. So, if your doctor mentions this, it's time to have a little chat about what's going on in your bones.

Normal levels of white blood cells (WBCs) in a urinalysis are typically less than 5 WBCs per high power field (HPF) in a clean catch urine sample. Elevated levels of WBCs in the urine may indicate infection, inflammation, or other underlying health conditions.

RBC stands for red blood cells. It is a common measurement in a hematology test that indicates the number of red blood cells in a given volume of blood. A low RBC count may suggest anemia, while a high count could indicate dehydration or a condition like polycythemia.

no, if both parents are A still there is a chance of O baby ,but for the child to have A blood type atleast one of the parents must have A or AB blood group Parents having the following blod groups may have an A baby AA and AA baby will have A blood group only AA and AO baby with A group only AO and AO baby may have A or O blood group AB and OO baby with A or B blood group AA and OO baby with A blood group only AAand AB baby with A or AB blood group AO and BO baby of A AB B or O blood group AO and AB baby of A AB or B blood group AB and AB baby having A B or AB blood group (each individual has one,two or no antigens .when no antigen it results in O blood group ,when one or two A antigens ,the person has A blood group so its not necessary that both parents of A blood group child have A blood type
