Kidney stones.These are little, hard masses — like small stones — that form in your kidneys.One possible cause is too much uric acid. Kidney stones may cause severe pain in your lower back that comes and goes,blood in your urine, throwing up,upset stomach, and an urgent need to pee....
High blood pressure is a leading disease risk factor globally, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a main cause of death1. Therefore, the primary prevention of CVD remains of utmost importance, and changes in dietary factors have an important rôle. While dietary recommendations for primary disea...
Thus extracellular hemoglobin can cause gross discoloration of the plasma, where it is bound to haptoglobin, before becoming grossly visible in urine. The half-life of haptoglobin is markedly decreased when bound to hemoglobin, so when large amounts of haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex are formed, the...
Clinical presentation of hemolysis is most pronounced through acute change in urine color, becoming darkened due to the clearance of hemoglobin (hemaglobinurea), and a dramatic change in the color of sclera and skin toward a yellowish appearance (i.e., jaundice). Sign in to download full-size...
The simplest metabolic biomarker we identified for TB, N-acetyleneuraminate, achieved an AUC of 0.66, which, while lower than values achieved in studies of adults with TB, is similar to the AUC of urine lipoarabinomannan (LAM) in children (AUC 0.67) and better than that of LAM among ...
The whole-blood lead levels of 14-16-year-olds in a remote, unpolluted rural area (Wupperthal, north-western Cape Province) were determined. Graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was used to analyse lead levels. The mean whole-blood lead level was found to be 3,4 micrograms/dl. ...
Prior studies have evaluated the utility of CMV loads in blood or urine as a biomarker predictive of SNHL8,9; however, no specific viral loads have shown to correlate with hearing loss in the symptomatic or asymptomatic infant. Analysis of host blood transcriptional profiles has provided ...
Enzyme activities may also be measured in urine, cerebrospinal fluid, bone marrow cells or fluid, amniotic cells or fluid, redblood cells, leukocytes, and tissue cells. Cytochemical localization is possible in leukocytes and biopsy specimens (e.g., from liver and muscle). Under ideal conditions,...
