Haemoglobin Levels

Haemoglobin levels in premature infants.

Method of Investigation Two hundred blood samples were taken, 185 of these being from a scalp vein, 13 from other veins (external jugular, antecubital or femoral), and in two instances heel-prick specimens were used. About 0 5 ml. of blood was withdrawn into a well-fitting sterile 2 ml. all-glass syringe and placed at once in a tube containing a small quantity of dry heparin. After mixing 20 c....

Persistent fetal haemoglobin and falsely high glycosylated haemoglobin levels.

Some of the routine methods of measuring glycosylated haemoglobin depend on its difference in charge from haemoglobin A and do not distinguish between glycosylated haemoglobin and fetal haemoglobin. Two insulin dependent diabetics showed persistent discrepancies between their capillary blood glucose values and their glycosylated haemoglobin values measured by agar gel electrophoresis: the blood...

Haemoglobin levels and blood requirement in thalassaemia.

The relationship between blood requirement and the mean level of maintained haemoglobin was examined in 392 patients with homozygous beta-thalassaemia. Pre- and post-transfusional haemoglobin levels and the amounts of blood transfused were measured during a 1-year period. No significant differences were noted in the blood requirements of patients (splenectomised or not) irrespective of the haem...
