Amniotic Fluid β2- Microglobulin Measurements
OBJECTIVE: To determine β2-microglobulin levels in amniotic fluid during the course of second trimester. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred patient’s amniotic fluid β2-microglobulin levels had been evaluated retrospectively (March-October 2009). The most common amniocentesis indication was advanced maternal age (33.3%). Others were; high risk result for triple test (18.5%), high risk result for double t...
متن کاملDestructive arthropathy in chondrocalcinosis articularis.
It is now well recognized that idiopathic chondrocalcinosis articularis, as well as being associated with acute episodes of pyrophosphate arthropathy, may lead to premature degenerative changes in the joints involved. Some workers have also made occasional reference to the presence of juxta-articular osteolytic lesions (McCarty, Kohn, and Faires, 1962; Currey, 1970.) More recently there have be...
متن کاملPredicting residual kidney function in hemodialysis patients using serum β-trace protein and β2-microglobulin.
Residual kidney function (RKF) contributes significant solute clearance in hemodialysis patients. Kidney Diseases Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines suggest that hemodialysis dose can be safely reduced in those with residual urea clearance (KRU) of 2 ml/min/1.73 m(2) or more. However, serial measurement of RKF is cumbersome and requires regular interdialytic urine collections. Simpl...
متن کاملBrucellosis Reactivation after 28 Years
To the Editor: Approximately 10% of patients with brucellosis experience a relapse, 90% of which occur within a year after discontinuation of antimicrobial drug therapy (1,2). Here we report a patient who had brucel-losis in a disease-endemic area, immigrated to a brucellosis-free region, and experienced focal reactivation in her gallbladder 28 years later. To our knowledge, this interval is am...
متن کاملSeptic arthritis complicating apatite associated destructive arthropathy.
Septic arthritis can complicate many forms of arthritis. Two cases of apatite associated destructive arthropathy (AADA) complicated by sepsis are described. Diagnosis of this complication in the setting of severe joint damage is difficult as AADA and sepsis share certain characteristics--an initial, rapidly progressive, severely painful course and radiographs which show rapidly destructive chan...
