  2. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin-induced...

    Up to 8% of patients receiving heparin are at risk to develop HIT antibodies, but only 1–5% on heparin will progress to develop HIT with thrombocytopenia and subsequently one-third of them may develop arterial or venous thrombosis. [1] After vascular surgery, 34% of patients receiving heparin developed HIT antibodies without clinical symptoms ...

  3. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Reference ranges often depend on the analytical method used, for reasons such as inaccuracy, lack of standardisation, lack of certified reference material and differing antibody reactivity. [11] Also, reference ranges may be inaccurate when the reference groups used to establish the ranges are small.

  4. Helicase-dependent amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicase-dependent...

    The polymerase chain reaction is the most widely used method for in vitro DNA amplification for purposes of molecular biology and biomedical research. [1] This process involves the separation of the double-stranded DNA in high heat into single strands (the denaturation step, typically achieved at 95–97 °C), annealing of the primers to the single stranded DNA (the annealing step) and copying ...

  5. Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_autoimmune_diabetes...

    A fasting blood sugar level of ≥ 7.0 mmol / L (126 mg/dL) is used in the general diagnosis of diabetes. [17] There are no clear guidelines for the diagnosis of LADA, but the criteria often used are that the patient should develop the disease in adulthood, not need insulin treatment for the first 6 months after diagnosis and have autoantibodies in the blood.

  6. Complementarity-determining region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity...

    The loops, or three-dimensional structures of the non-H3 CDRs (all CDRs but H3) of antibodies have been clustered and classified by Chothia et al. [6] and more recently by North et al. [7] Homology modeling is a computational method to build tertiary structures from amino-acid sequences. The so-called H3-rules are empirical rules to build ...

  7. Immunoradiometric assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoradiometric_assay

    Immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) is an assay that uses radiolabeled antibodies. It differs from conventional radioimmunoassay (RIA) in that the compound to be measured combines immediately with the radiolabeled antibodies, rather than displacing another antigen by degrees over some period.

  8. Hemagglutination assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemagglutination_assay

    The most concentrated sample in the first well is often diluted to be 1/5x of the stock, and subsequent wells are typically two-fold dilutions (1/10, 1/20, 1/40, etc.).The final well serves as a negative control with no virus. Each row of the plate typically has a different virus and the same pattern of dilutions.

  9. Hemolytic disease of the newborn (anti-Kell) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_disease_of_the...

    This test tells whether there are antibodies in the maternal plasma. If positive, the antibody is identified and given a titer. Titers of 1:4 or higher is considered critical for Kell (compared to 1:16 for most other antibodies) and is considered to confer a high risk of fetal anemia. [17]
