چکیده
Thyroxmn-bmnding prealbumin (TBPA), also called lransthyretin, has been proposed as one of the most sensilive nutritional markers (Clin Chim Acta 1975;63:61-7; Lancet 1979;ii:230-2) and is widely used to monitor the afficiency of nutritional rehabilitation in malnourished paLients (Cliii Chim Acta 1975;65:61-7, Am J Clin Nuts 1975;28:732-8, Ann Chin Lab Sci 1982;12(3):153-62). Weekly sampling is usually required for this purpose. TBPA concentration can be measured in 54 of serum. It is thus preferable to avoid venipuncture, especially in malnourished children. Here we compare values for TBPA in samples obtained by venipuncture and by skin-puncture in

متن کاملEvaluation of the relationship between capillary and venous plasma glucose concentrations obtained by the HemoCue Glucose 201+ system during an oral glucose
In 55 women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus, simultaneous capillary and venous plasma glucose concentrations were measured at 0, 30 and 120 min during a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The aims of the study were to examine the relationship between capillary and venous glucose measurements, and to establish equations for the conversion of capillary and venous glucose concent...
