Preanalytical increase of ammonia in blood specimens from healthy subjects.
The course and magnitude of spontaneous increase in ammonia concentration in plasma on standing were investigated with EDTA-treated blood specimens from 36 healthy subjects with use of a sensitive and precise enzymic method. Over 90 min, the rates of increase were virtually constant at fixed temperature. The mean (and SE) rates at 0, 20, and 37 degrees C were 3.9 (0.23), 5.2 (0.23), and 25.2 (0...
متن کاملPreanalytical factors affecting RIA measurement of plasma kisspeptin.
Kisspeptins are peptide products of the KiSS-1 metastasis-suppressor (KISS1) gene and the natural ligands of the G-protein– coupled receptor GPR54. KISS1 was initially investigated as an antimetastasis gene. More recent studies have demonstrated that the kisspeptins are potent stimulators of the hypothalamo-pituitarygonadal axis. Mice and humans with defective kisspeptin signaling show hypogona...
متن کاملPrimary cultivation: factors affecting contamination and Mycobacterium ulcerans growth after long turnover time of clinical specimens
BACKGROUND While cultivation of pathogens represents a foundational diagnostic approach in the study of infectious diseases, its value for the confirmation of clinical diagnosis of Buruli ulcer is limited by the fact that colonies of Mycobacterium ulcerans appear only after about eight weeks of incubation at 30°C. However, for molecular epidemiological and drug sensitivity studies, primary isol...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Ambulatory Blood Pressure Reproducibility
To assess the reproducibility of ambulatory blood pressure, we recorded 24-hour blood pressure twice 3 months apart in 508 hypertensive subjects participating in the HARVEST trial using a noninvasive technique. Blood pressure was measured every 10 minutes during the daytime and 30 minutes during the nighttime. Reproducibility was better for ambulatory than for office blood pressure. It was grea...
متن کاملPreanalytical issues related to blood sample mixing
INTRODUCTION Homogeneity of sample achieved by adequate mixing of the blood sample is the key to the quality of analytical results. Immediate mixing of the sample upon blood collection insures that the anticoagulant in the specimen container has fully dissolved with the blood, thus maintaining not only the effective anticoagulant-to-blood ratio but also providing a specimen free from any blood ...
