Cardiac catheterization showed no critical disease, and the elevated troponin was attributed to interference by free hemoglobin and/or bilirubin. Hemoglobinemia and hyperbilirubinemia may produce either false-positive or false-negative troponin levels, depending on the assay used and the form or subunit ...
and body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight divided by height in meters squared. The following biochemical variables in serum were measured by a conventional automated analyzer: platelet count (Plt), albumin, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST),...
365 d Gestational age Term Premature 34 wk 0/7 d to 36 wk 6/7 d Premature < 34 wk 0/7 d Unknown Indication of blood sampling Infection (C-reactive protein) Jaundice (bilirubin) Other Unknown Total (%) 78 (48) 85 (52) 138 (205) ...
but a low specificity limits its usefulness for this purpose.28One study has suggested an association between high serum GGTP levels and the risk ofhepatocellular carcinoma.29The GGTP level had a negative predictive value of 97.9%, higher than that for alkaline phosphatase, totalbilirubin,ALT, an...
total bilirubin; PAB, prealbumin; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; Cr, creatinine; UA, uric acid; TC, total cholesterol; TG, total triglycerides; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index; ...
[9,13,14] It has been shown that it is difficult to identify objective parameters for sickle cell crisis, although there is some evidence for an association of crisis with increasing LDH levels and a decrease in dense cells, as demonstrated by decreasing RDW, indirect ...
Patient data collected included age, gender, ITP diagnosis/remission dates, and results of DATs, plasma bilirubin levels, and all plasma LDH levels with concurrent platelet counts measured while ITP was active (remission defined as platelet count ≥100×109/l off ITP‐directed treatment for ≥12...
ROC analysis revealed an area under the curve of 0.64 (p=0.009), which is comparable to plasma bilirubine or creatinine in these patients, respectively. Gal3-mRNA was downregulated during VAD-support (p<0.01) and significantly elevated in myocardial samples of DOD-patients compared to BTT-...
The SOFA score evaluates each of organs: CNS function (Glasgow Coma Scale or GCS), cardiovascular abnormalities (blood pressure, vasopressor levels), coagulation disorders (platelet count), hepatic dysfunction (total bilirubin), and renal dysfunction (Cr). The outcomes were evaluated as survival or ...
