Also, the globulin that was fixed on the erythrocyte has the trait to exchange with a globulin in a certain medium. [3] Globulins aren't only a major blood protein, but can also be sex hormone-binding globulin. This type of globulin can transport androgens and estradiol in the blood.
The most common indications for a serum protein electrophoresis test are to diagnose or monitor multiple myeloma, a monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS), or further investigate a discrepancy between a low albumin and a relatively high total protein.
Cardiac troponin T (low sensitive) 0.1 [7] ng/mL: 99th percentile cutoff: Cardiac troponin I (high sensitive) 0.03 [7] ng/mL 99th percentile cutoff: Cardiac troponin T (high sensitive) Male 0.022 [7] ng/mL 99th percentile cutoff: Female 0.014 [7] ng/mL 99th percentile cutoff: newborn/infants not established more than adults [60] [61]
IgA exists in two isotypes, IgA1 and IgA2.They are both heavily glycosylated proteins. [9] While IgA1 predominates in serum (~80%), IgA2 percentages are higher in secretions than in serum (~35% in secretions); [10] the ratio of IgA1 and IgA2 secreting cells varies in the different lymphoid tissues of the human body: [11]
In extreme cases, patients have survived with a hemoglobin level of 2 g/dl, about 1/7 the normal, although levels this low are very dangerous. With enough blood loss, ultimately red blood cell levels drop too low for adequate tissue oxygenation, even if volume expanders maintain circulatory volume.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal (kidney) glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule per unit time. [4] Central to the physiologic maintenance of GFR is the differential basal tone of the afferent (input) and efferent (output) arterioles (see diagram).
Hypouricemia or hypouricaemia is a level of uric acid in blood serum that is below normal. In humans, the normal range of this blood component has a lower threshold set variously in the range of 2 mg/dL to 4 mg/dL, while the upper threshold is 530 μmol/L (6 mg/dL) for women and 619 μmol/L (7 mg/dL) for men.

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. [1] TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement therapy.
