In contrast to anemia, an elevated RBC count is calledpolycythemiaand is detected in a patient’s elevated hematocrit. It can occur transiently in a person who is dehydrated; when water intake is inadequate or water losses are excessive, the plasma volume falls. As a result, the hematocrit ri...
1. A compound identified as orotidine has been found in the erythrocytes of all subjects on allopurinol. 2. The erythrocyte orotidine concentrations were much higher in patients with renal failure or with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. 3. In addition, in
Within each analytical 60 min interval, the produced urine was collected. From every 100 ml of urine, an aliquot of 1 ml was kept for late analysis and the rest was reinfused after filtration (13 µm) at 100 ml intervals to the reservoir in order to prevent alterations in the compositi...
In week 1 of life the infant took feedings poorly and was noted to have enlargement of the liver and spleen. Because of the findings of pyuria and Klebsiella bacteriuria, the infant was given a transfusion and antimicrobial therapy. Urographic studies were normal and the urine remained sterile...
Low K (LK) sheep red blood cells (SRBCs) serve as a model to study K-Cl cotransport which plays an important role in cellular dehydration in human erythrocytes homozygous for hemoglobin S. Cinchona bark derivatives, such as quinine (Q) and quinidine (QD), are effectively used in the ...
(GSH)] synthesis, concluded that neonates ≤32-wk gestation had lower plasma cysteine and slower GSH synthesis than neonates >33-wk gestation. In addition, others have reported low plasma cysteine and high plasma methionine in neonates fed low to cysteine-free parenteral nutrition (PN) (5–7)...
the as-prepared functionalized erythrocytes could efficiently remove 80% of lead ions in a blood poisoning model in vitro and reduce the Pb2+accumulation in kidney and liver of mice in vivo. Importantly, such ultrasmall NDs can be excreted by urine from the mice. Our research may provide a ...
This study is an observational single-institution prospective study. Inclusion criteria are defined as followed: to be a woman of 18 years old or more, to be pregnant in the first trimester of pregnancy, as shown by a fetal heartbeat on ultrasound or a positive urine dipstick βeta-human ch...
