De Quervain tenosynovitis is a narrowing of the channel in which the tendons of the thumb pass. Accompanied by inflammation of the tendon sheaths. It occurs due to the constant increased load on the brush, often in connection with the performance of professional duties. Usually develops gradually. The course is chronic. The disease is characterized by…
Thymol turbidity test – sedimentary test, thanks to which qualitative and semi-quantitative changes in plasma proteins are evaluated. Thymol turbidity test is prescribed in combination with transaminases, alkaline phosphotase, and a sulemic test. The Maclagan test allows, first of all, to evaluate the protein-forming function of the liver. It is used for the diagnosis of liver…
Proteinogram (study of protein fractions) – biochemical analysis aimed at determining the percentage of albumins and globulins in plasma. Proteinogram can be carried out in combination with total blood protein, prothrombin time, transaminases. The proteinogram is used in the diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of the course of treatment of systemic connective tissue diseases, acute and chronic inflammatory…
Total protein in the blood is the main biochemical indicator reflecting amino acid metabolism in the human body. Total protein test is usually carried out in combination with other biochemical parameters. Total protein test is informative in the diagnosis and monitoring of the course of kidney and liver diseases, metabolic disorders, oncopathology, infections, monitoring the effectiveness of therapy.…
Uric acid in the blood is an indicator of the body’s protein metabolism, reflecting the level of metabolism of purine bases that are part of purine nucleotides. Uric acid test has an independent value, but is more often carried out in conjunction with the determination of urea, creatinine, uric acid (urates) in the urine. Determination of uric…
Creatinine blood test – biochemical analysis aimed at measuring one of the main products of nitrogen metabolism – 1-methylglycocyamidine, which reflects the state of protein metabolism in the body. The study of creatinine concentration in the blood is performed in conjunction with other biochemical parameters and in the Rehberg sample. Creatinine blood test is carried out to…
Albumin blood test – biochemical analysis aimed at quantifying the largest protein fraction of blood serum. There are five protein fractions in total: one albumin fraction and four globulins (alpha1-, alpha2-, beta- and gamma-globulins). Albumin in the blood makes up 60% of the total plasma protein, is synthesized in the liver, is the main oncotic component…
Stool test (coprogram) is an advanced laboratory analysis of feces, which allows you to judge the functional activity of the gastrointestinal tract, the efficiency of digestion, the speed and quality of digestion of food. The main parameters of stool test are color, quantity, smell, consistency, stool reaction, the presence of impurities and pathological inclusions (mucus, blood,…
Urinalysis is a comprehensive study, during which the general properties of urine, its physico-chemical characteristics are determined, and sediment microscopy is performed. Urinalysis refers to routine methods, is carried out during preventive examinations, as well as as part of a comprehensive diagnosis of diseases of various profiles, in particular, pathologies of the urinary system. The…
Blood test reticulocytes is a clinical study in which young red blood cells produced by the bone marrow are counted. The study complements the general blood test. Reticulocyte counts are performed for differential diagnosis of various types of anemia, assessment of bone marrow and spleen functioning, monitoring of patients with iron deficiency, vitamin B12 or…
Platelet tests is a quantitative analysis that aims to determine the level of blood cells responsible for the formation of a blood clot and the prevention of bleeding. This test is performed as part of a general blood test, which allows you to first assess the state of the coagulation system. It is prescribed for…
Blood test hemoglobin is a clinical study aimed at measuring the amount of erythrocyte protein that reflects the state of oxygen exchange between the lungs and body tissues. The study of hemoglobin concentration is carried out as part of a general blood test, other indicators are taken into account when interpreting the results. The data…
Hematocrit test is a clinical study that allows you to obtain information about the ratio of the volume of red blood cells and the liquid part of the blood. Reflects the level of oxygen exchange between the lungs and tissues of the body, the degree of hemoconcentration. Hematocrit examination is part of a general blood…
Blood test is a comprehensive clinical study, during which the qualitative and quantitative composition of blood is determined: erythrocytes (their number, average volume and volume distribution, sedimentation rate), leukocytes (quantity, leukocyte formula), platelets, hemoglobin level are studied. The study has an independent diagnostic value, based on the results, the issue of conducting more in-depth specific…
Analysis (laboratory diagnostics) is an integral component of a comprehensive examination of the patient, complementing and clarifying clinical data and the results of instrumental studies. Competent interpretation of the tests helps the clinician not only to make the correct diagnosis, but also to determine the tactics of patient management, monitor and monitor the dynamics of the treatment. In modern laboratory diagnostics, there are about 3000 types of studies of various biological media and body secretions (blood, urine, feces, saliva, liquor, sputum, effusion fluids, epithelial scrapings, gastric juice and duodenal contents, etc.), tissue samples. Changes in certain laboratory parameters may indicate an inflammatory reaction, metabolic disorders, an infectious process, an oncological threat and other pathological processes in the body.
