Virus in the blood of a patient using PCR is used to diagnose cytomegalovirus infection and control the effectiveness of antiviral treatment.
Antibodies to the cytomegalovirus class IgM appear within 1-2 weeks after the onset of the disease and indicate a fresh infection or reactivation of a latent and persistent infection. Antibodies to the cytomegalovirus class IgG appear 2-4 weeks after infection, the sick continue to 10 years.
Cyclosporine is widely used as an effective immunosuppressant for suppressing the "graft versus host" reaction after bone marrow transplantation, kidney, liver, heart and some autoimmune diseases.
The cross-linked N-telopeptide of type I bone collagen serves as a marker of osteoclast activity and is used in clinical practice to assess the level of bone resorption, as well as the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment.
Daily excretion of creatinine with urine is relatively constant, is equivalent to daily production and directly depends on the mass of muscles and excretory capacity of the kidneys.
With the use of RSK, RTGA and neutralization reaction, antibodies to Coxsackie viruses in serum are detected. Investigate paired sera in the acute period of infection and 2-3 weeks after the onset of the disease.
Cortisol is a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex. It is 75-90% of the corticosteroids circulating in the blood, is metabolized in the liver. The half-life is 80-100 min. Cortisol is filtered in the renal glomeruli and is removed with urine.
The analysis for copper in urine is used mainly to diagnose and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of Wilson-Konovalov's disease. Excretion of copper in urine with Wilson-Konovalov disease is usually higher than 100 μg / day (1.57 μmol / day), but may be lower in young siblings before the development of symptoms of the disease.
Copper is one of the most important essential micronutrients necessary for human life. In the adult body contains 1.57-3.14 mmol of copper, and half of this amount falls on muscles and bones, 10% - on liver tissue.
At present, clinical immunology has become a link between a number of medical disciplines. Its main tasks include diagnostics, prognosis and development of methods of treatment of human diseases, accompanied by various defects in the immune system.
Common normetanephrins are intermediate products of norepinephrine metabolism. They are determined for the purpose of diagnosing pheochromocytoma. Unlike other metabolic products of catecholamines, the content of normetanephrine in the urine is not affected by antihypertensive drugs.
Common metanephrins are intermediate products of adrenaline metabolism. 55% of the adrenaline metabolism products are excreted in the urine in the form of metanephrine. A significant increase in the content of metanephrine in the urine is revealed in patients with pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma (in children), ganglioneuropathy.
Cocaine is an alkaloid derived from the bush of Erythroxylon coca, native to Bolivia and Peru. Two methods of cocaine use are currently known. The first is inhaling the drug.
Coagulogram is a type of blood test. It is conducted solely for the purpose of studying the ability of clotting. This is a very urgent issue for today.
The study of the contents of serous cavities contributes to the solution of the following problems. Determination of the character of the studied effusion (exudate or transudate, that is, whether it is formed due to inflammation of the serosa or is associated with impaired circulation of general or local character).
Circulating immune complexes (CIC) - complexes consisting of antigens, antibodies and associated components of complement C3, C4, C1q. Normally, immune complexes formed in the bloodstream are phagocytosed and destroyed. With an increase in their size (with an excess of antigens and the presence in the structure of IgM, the complement component of C1q), complexes can be deposited in the perivascular space and the cortical layer of the kidneys, causing complement activation and inflammatory processes.
Elevated levels of chorionic gonadotropin in the serum are detected already on the 8th-9th day after conception. During the first trimester of pregnancy, the concentration of the chorionic gonadotropin rapidly rises, doubling every 2-3 days.
Cholinesterase in the blood - one of many important and necessary enzymes, which for brevity in the medical world is designated by HE. True, real cholinesterase is found mainly in the muscle tissues of the skeleton, in the tissues of the nervous system, a small number of it is found in red blood cells - red blood cells. This cholinesterase is called acetylcholinesterase or AChE.
The amount of chlorine in the urine depends on its content in the food. In infants with urine, very little chlorine is excreted, since its content in breast milk is low. The transition to mixed nutrition leads to a significant increase in the content of chlorine in the urine. Its amount in the urine increases in accordance with the ever increasing use of table salt.
The total chlorine content of a healthy person with a body weight of 70 kg is approximately 2000 mmol, i.e. 30 mmol / kg. Chlorine is the main extracellular cation. In the body, it is mainly in the ionized state, in the form of salts of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.
