Among 46, 34 (73.91%) had serum ferritin levels of more than 1000 to 2500 ng/ml whereas 12 (26.09%) had more than 25000 ng/ml. Conclusions: The prevalence of high serum ferritin levels among blood transfused thalassemic patients admitted to the Department of Paediatrics in a t...
It has been suggested that high serum copper concentration associates with pro-oxidative stress. "Pro-oxidative stress is found in many chronic diseases, such ascoronary artery disease. Nevertheless, when the study participants' cardiovascular diseases were taken account for, our results remained unchang...
AsIgG-4 against food allergens were found in sera of 92% blood donors, and in 62% of these healthy persons the levels of asIgG-4 were higher than 10.0 micrograms/ml. In a small proportion of patients, high serum levels of IgE and asIgE against the same food and/or inhalant allergens...
people living with diabetes have higher levels of extracellular copper (copper in the blood), which could be due to the inadequate transportation of copper caused by the deficit of ATP7A. In animal models, it has been proven that a lack of copper transportation proteins causes ...
Among treated individuals, the association of prevalence of elevated serum creatinine level with blood pressure was J-shaped. Prevalence was lower in individuals with normal blood pressure (6.3%) compared with individuals with optimal blood pressure (9.8%) or higher levels of blood pressure. The ...
Patients with a higher blood Cu/Zn ratio had lower levels of hemoglobin, blood zinc, serum prealbumin, albumin, and creatinine as well as low SGA and GNRI scores, but higher modified Charlson comorbidity index score, serum C-reactive protein level, interleukin-6 level, blood copper level, and...
Pancreatic islet transplantation can cure diabetes but requires accessible, high-quality islets in sufficient quantities. Cryopreservation could solve islet supply chain challenges by enabling quality-controlled banking and pooling of donor islets. Unfor
When your kidneys are healthy, they remove BUN, usually leaving only a small amount in your blood. When your kidneys are not healthy, they leave more BUN behind. The BUN blood test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. If your levels are outside the normal range, this migh...
