Abnormal haemoglobin electrophoresis caused by BW 12C.

چکیده
BW 12C, a substituted benzaldehyde, stabilises haemoglobin in the oxy-conformation and has attracted interest as an anti-sickling agent. The drug causes a left shift in the oxygen saturation curve and may induce tumour anoxia and enhance the effect of cytotoxic drugs. During clinical trials in patients with cancer abnormal bands on haemoglobin electrophoretic strips were observed. This made correct diagnosis of abnormal haemoglobins impossible. Solubility tests for sickling disorders (Itano) also proved unreliable.

Haemoglobin O Padova and falsely low haemoglobin A1c in a patient with type I diabetes.
Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in a 20 year old female with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus was consistently within the normal range although her daily blood glucose values were > 11.1 mmol/l. HbA1c measured by immunoagglutination and fructosamine was elevated and correlated with the patient's blood glucose values. The HPLC chromatogra...

A 63-year-old man, a member of the Ga tribe from the Osu-Christiansborg area in Accra was examined for hypertension. On incubation with 2% sodium metabisulphate his red cells readily sickle. Only two haemoglobin bands were demonstrated by paper electrophoresis at pH 8-9 (Cradock-Watson, Fenton, and Lehmann, 1959) and starch gel electrophoresis atpH 8-6 (Poulik, 1957), a minor one corresponding ...

Sickle cell trait is a benign haemoglobin disorder which rarely results in disease or complications. A few cases of osteonecrosis have been reported in the literature in parts of the world with advanced health care system. There are various predispositions to developing avascular necrosis in general, while the sickle beta globin gene inheritance is the most efficient factor. Injection drug abus...
متن کاملA Method for Applying Haemolysates on Starch Blocks for Electrophoresis.
Electrophoresis of haemolysates on a starch block, which was first described by Kunkel and Wallenius (1955), provides an excellent method for separating and quantitating the various normal and abnormal haemoglobins. Since relatively large amounts of haemoglobin solutions can be applied it is a useful preparative method for isolating a particular haemoglobin for further analysis. One of the impo...
