Elevated hemoglobin has several causes, but it’s usually the result of these two mechanisms: An increase in red blood cell production. This can happen as a compensation for a when blood is carrying less oxygen [3]. A decrease in plasma volume. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood [3...

The final cause of elevated LDL-P is genetics. Familial hypercholesterolemia, or FH, involves a mutation of a gene that codes for the LDL receptor or the gene that codes for apolipoprotein B (ApoB). The LDL receptor sits on the outside of cells; the LDL particle has to attach to the ...
Hemoglobin and red blood cell counts may be elevated because the blood is more concentrated with water loss from the intravascular space. Kidney function tests including BUN and creatinine may be elevated, and this is one way of measuring the severity of dehydration. Urinalysis may be ordered to...
Observation of an elevated percentage of glycated hemoglobin in Cu-deficient rats has thus far provided the only direct evidence of an increase in glycation. We sought further direct evidence of increased glycation in Cu-deficiency. Male weanling rats were fed a Cu-adequate (CuA, 6.4 mg Cu/kg...
Diabetes is diagnosed if the hemoglobin A1c level is 6.5% or higher.Expected durationType 1 diabetes is a lifelong illness. Usually, type 2 diabetes is also lifelong. However, people with type 2 diabetes can sometimes restore their blood sugar levels to normal just by eating a healthy diet, ...

The term hemolysis or haemolysis is derived from the Greek wordhemo(i.e., blood) andlysis(i.e., breakdown). This refers to the pre-mature rupture or lysis of red blood cells (RBCs) and release of the RBC components such ashemoglobinand other intercellular material in theblood plasma. Th...
*Cats are more at risk to RBC destruction or hemolysis due to their unique hemoglobin (the part of the RBC that carries oxygen); causes for hemolysis may be due to rare toxins (like garlic powder or heavy metals), infectious diseases (e.g., from ticks), cancer, drug/vaccine reactions ...
You can also look at platelets as a measurement tool of inflammation and the stickiness of blood. Platelets elevated above 250 is a sign of inflammation. The sweet spot for platelets is between 175 and 250. Below 175, immune function and blood clotting are compromised; the same is true for...
