Measuring the 50% haemolytic complement (CH50) activity of serum.
The complement system is a group of proteins that when activated lead to target cell lysis and facilitates phagocytosis through opsonisation. Individual complement components can be quantified however this does not provide any information as to the activity of the pathway. The CH50 is a screening assay for the activation of the classical complement pathway (Fig 1) and it is sensitive to the red...
متن کاملPalindromic rheumatism. Clinical and serum complement study.
A review of 39 patients diagnosed as suffering from palindromic rheumatism showed that 17 cases had evolved into typical rheumatoid arthritis (RA), while 22 had remained palindromic. The pattern of palindromic attacks in the two groups gave no grounds for regarding palindromic rheumatism as a separate condition from RA with palindromic onset. At the first attendance minor clinical or radiologic...
متن کاملRelationship of high CH50 level and interruption of cascade reaction of complement mRNA expression in acute venous thromboembolism patients.
In patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), forepart components of complements were activated. However there are interruption/decrease of cascade reaction and cytolytic effects in complement system. This study detected CRP, CH50, C3 and C4 levels in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and compare with the imbalance of complement associated gene mRNA expression in PE patients. There was sig...
متن کاملSerum procalcitonin level: clinical significance.
Procalcitonin, a propeptide of calcitonin, is an important host response biomarker indicative of infection. In particular, it aids in assessing the severity of infection and its prognosis [2, 3]. Using this severity marker to differentiate two infectious diseases seems unjustified. Both the diseases can have varying degrees of severity and may also be confounded by factors such as immunocomprom...
متن کاملInfluence of thyroidectomy on postoperative serum calcium level regarding serum vitamin D status. A prospective study
Background: Hypocalcemia is a well-recognized complication after total thyroidectomy. Hypovitaminosis D may have additional effect in the development of hypocalcemia. This study aimed to determine the effect of total thyroidectomy on postoperative serum calcium in patients with and without hypovitaminosis D. Methods: This prospective study was performed on patients who underwent total...
