The aim of the study was to demonstrate that epithelial cells (ECs) cause a high false positive rate of white blood cells (WBCs) by the UF‐1000i in pregnant women. Methods Urine samples were collected from 207 pregnant women. All samples were measured by the UF‐1000i and a microscopic...
What would a high WBC count indicate? Blood: Blood is a type of connective tissue that is fluid in nature but is comprised of both solid and liquid components. The liquid component includes the plasma, and the solid components are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets among othe...
(HR = 1.30 and p < 0.001 for higher serum creatinine; HR = 0.97 and p < 0.001 for higher eGFR; HR = 1.06 and p < 0.001 for urine PCR), C3 ≤ 93.4 mg/dl (HR = 2.15, p = 0.017), NLR > 3.34 (HR = 3.30, p < ...
Hepcidin, which is mainly located in parietal cells, was elevated in CAG gastric tissue. The high gastric level of hepcidin inhibited iron absorption in the duodenum by decreasing the protein expression of DMT1 and FPN1. In addition, the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway induced hepcidin production ...
Blood in the urine Pounding in your chest, neck, or ears Seizures Does a burst blood vessel in your eye (subconjunctival hemorrhage) mean you have high blood pressure? Not necessarily. Most burst vessels are harmless. But if this happens repeatedly, check with your doctor. (Photo Credit: i...
abnormal decrease in the cells that make up blood (such as white blood cells) because the bone marrow is not working properly to make these cells. Besides decreased neutrophil production, another cause of a decreased neutrophil count is an increase in ...
Blood pressure will be measured on the right arm in a sitting position, and urine albumin/sugar test will be performed. After enrolment, the women will be randomized to receive 75 mg or 150 mg aspirin at night from 12 to 16 weeks of pregnancy. The drug will be dispensed to her after ...
Too much sodium can cause your body to retain fluid, which increases blood pressure. Since potassium helps balance the amount of sodium in your cells, not getting enough of it can raise blood pressure. Alcohol Use Over time, heavy alcohol use can damage the heart and lead to heart failure,...
34. Also, the presence of red blood cells in urine was investigated under a microscope. The participants were then categorized as CKD if matched with either of the following criteria for 3 months or longer: 1) eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, or 2) presence of any kidney damage;...
Objective To investigate the influence of different urine specimen storage time on the count of the cells in urine and the morphology of red blood cell.Methods The automatic urinary sediment analyzer UF-1000i was used to analyze the numbers of red blood cell,white blood cell and epithelial cell...
