alanine aminotransferase test Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Financial Encyclopedia Related to alanine aminotransferase test : Aspartate Aminotransferase Test Alkaline Phosphatase Test albumin test Creatinine Test bilirubin test Alanine Aminotransferase Test Definition The alanine aminotransferase test , also known as ALT , is one of a group of tests known as liver function tests ( or LFTs ) and is used to monitor damage to the liver . Purpose ALT levels are used detect liver abnormalities . Since the alanine aminotransferase enzyme also found in muscle , tests indicating elevated AST levels might indicate muscle damage . However , other tests , such MB fraction creatine kinase should indicate whether abnormal test are because muscle or liver damage . Description The test ( ALT ) can reveal It probably most specific for However , severity damage not necessarily shown by ALT test , since amount dead tissue does not correspond higher levels . Also , patients with normal , or declining , may experience serious without an increase in ALT . Nevertheless , widely used , and useful , because elevated most patients with liver disease Although do necessarily severity liver , they may how much has been damaged . levels , when compared a similar enzyme , aspartate ( AST ) , provide important clues nature disease . For example , within certain range values , ratio 2 : 1 greater for AST : might that patient suffers from alcoholic disease . Other diagnostic data be gleaned from abnormal results . Preparation No special preparations necessary this test . Aftercare This involves blood being drawn , probably vein patient ' s elbow . patient should keep wound needle puncture covered ( with bandage ) until bleeding stops . Patients report any unusual symptoms their physician . Normal results Normal values vary laboratory laboratory , be available your physician at time test . An informal survey some laboratories indicates many laboratories find values approximately seven 50 IU / L normal . Abnormal results Low ( generally below 300 IU / L ) any kind Levels above 1,000 IU / L generally extensive toxins drugs , viral hepatitis , lack oxygen ( usually resulting very low blood pressure heart attack ) . A briefly above 1,000 that resolves 24 - 48 hours blockage bile duct . More moderate ( 300 - 1,000IU / L ) support diagnosis acute chronic hepatitis .

angiotensin - converting enzyme Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Legal Acronyms Encyclopedia Wikipedia angiotensin ( ACE ) an ″ je - o - ten sin a vasoconstrictive substance formed in the blood when renin is released from the juxtaglomerular apparatus in kidney . The enzymatic action of renin acts on angiotensinogen to form decapeptide angiotensin I , which is relatively inactive . It turn acted upon by peptidases ( converting enzymes ) , chiefly lungs , to form octapeptide II , a powerful vasopressor and stimulator of aldosterone secretion by adrenal cortex . By its vasopressor action , it raises blood pressure and diminishes fluid loss kidney restricting flow . Angiotensin II hydrolyzed various tissues heptapeptide III , which has less activity but more effect on adrenal cortex . angiotensin - converting enzyme ( ACE ) an enzyme hydrolase class that catalyzes cleavage dipeptide from C - terminal end I activated II ; called also peptidyl - dipeptidase A angiotensin - converting inhibitors competitive inhibitors angiotensin - converting enzyme converts I II inactivates bradykinin .

appendicitis Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Wikipedia Related to appendicitis : appendix gallbladder appendicitis pain Kidney stones Appendicitis Definition Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix , which is the worm - shaped pouch attached to the cecum , the beginning of the large intestine . The appendix has no known function in the body , but it can become diseased . Appendicitis is a medical emergency , and if it is left untreated the appendix may rupture and cause a potentially fatal infection . Description Appendicitis is the most common abdominal emergency found in children and young adults . One person in 15 develops appendicitis in his or her lifetime . The incidence is highest among males aged 10 - 14 , and among females aged 15 - 19 . More males than females develop appendicitis between puberty and age 25 . It is rare in the elderly and in children under the age of two . The hallmark symptom of appendicitis is increasingly severe abdominal pain . Since many different conditions can cause abdominal pain , an accurate diagnosis of appendicitis can be difficult . A timely diagnosis is important , however , because a delay can result in perforation , or rupture , of the appendix . When this happens , the infected contents of the appendix spill into the abdomen , potentially causing a serious infection of the abdomen called peritonitis Other conditions can have similar symptoms , especially in women . These include pelvic inflammatory disease , ruptured ovarian follicles , ruptured ovarian cysts , tubal pregnancies , and endometriosis . Various forms of stomach upset and bowel inflammation may also mimic appendicitis . The treatment for acute ( sudden , severe ) appendicitis is an appendectomy , surgery to remove the appendix . Because of the potential for a life - threatening ruptured appendix , persons suspected of having appendicitis are often taken to surgery before the diagnosis is certain . Causes and symptoms The causes of appendicitis are not well understood , but it is believed to occur as a result of one or more of these factors : an obstruction within the appendix , the development of an ulceration ( an abnormal change in tissue accompanied by the death of cells ) within the appendix , and the invasion of bacteria . Under these conditions , bacteria may multiply within the appendix . The appendix may become swollen and filled with pus ( a fluid formed in infected tissue , consisting of while blood cells and cellular debris ) , and may eventually rupture . Signs of rupture include the presence of symptoms for more than 24 hours , a fever , a high white blood cell count , and a fast heart rate . Very rarely , the inflammation and symptoms of appendicitis may disappear but recur again later . The distinguishing symptom of appendicitis is pain beginning around or above the navel . The pain , which may be severe or only achy and uncomfortable , eventually moves into the right lower corner of the abdomen . There , it becomes more steady and more severe , and often increases with movement , coughing , and so forth . The abdomen often becomes rigid and tender to the touch . Increasing rigidity and tenderness indicates an increased likelihood of perforation and peritonitis . Loss of appetite is very common . Nausea and vomiting may occur in about half of the cases and occasionally there may be constipation or diarrhea . The temperature may be normal or slightly elevated . The presence of a fever may indicate that the appendix has ruptured . Diagnosis A careful examination is the best way to diagnose appendicitis . It is often difficult even for experienced physicians to distinguish the symptoms of appendicitis from those of other abdominal disorders . Therefore , very specific questioning and a thorough physical examination are crucial . The physician should ask questions , such as where the pain is centered , whether the pain has shifted , and where the pain began . The physician should press on the abdomen to judge the location of the pain and the degree of tenderness . The typical sequence of symptoms is present in about 50 % of cases . In the other half of cases , less typical patterns may be seen , especially in pregnant women , older patients , and infants . In pregnant women , appendicitis is easily masked by the frequent occurrence of mild abdominal pain and nausea from other causes . Elderly patients may feel less pain and tenderness than most patients , thereby delaying diagnosis and treatment , and leading to rupture in 30 % of cases . Infants and young children often have diarrhea , vomiting , and While laboratory tests can not establish the diagnosis , an increased white cell count may point to appendicitis . Urinalysis may help to rule out a urinary tract infection that can mimic appendicitis . Key terms Appendectomy ( or appendicectomy ) — Surgical removal of the appendix . Appendix — The worm - shaped pouch attached to the cecum , the beginning of the large intestine . Laparotomy — Surgical incision into the loin , between the ribs and the pelvis , which offers surgeons a view inside the abdominal cavity . Peritonitis — Inflammation of the peritoneum , membranes lining the abdominal pelvic wall . Patients whose symptoms and physical examination are compatible with a diagnosis of appendicitis are usually taken immediately to surgery , where a laparotomy ( surgical exploration of the abdomen ) is done to confirm the diagnosis . In cases with a questionable diagnosis , other tests , such as a computed tomography scan ( CT ) may be performed to avoid unnecessary surgery . An ultrasound examination of the abdomen may help to identify an inflamed appendix or other condition that would explain the symptoms . Abdominal x - rays are not of much value except when the appendix has ruptured . Often , the diagnosis is not certain until an operation is done . To avoid a ruptured appendix , surgery may be recommended without delay if the symptoms point clearly to appendicitis . If the symptoms are not clear , surgery may be postponed until they progress enough to confirm a diagnosis . When appendicitis is strongly suspected in a woman of child - bearing age , a diagnostic laparoscopy ( an examination of the interior of the abdomen ) is sometimes recommended before the appendectomy in order to be sure that a gynecological problem , such as a ruptured ovarian cyst , is not causing the pain . In this procedure , a lighted viewing tube is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision around the navel . A normal appendix is discovered in about 10 - 20 % of patients who undergo laparotomy , because of suspected appendicitis . Sometimes the surgeon will remove a normal appendix as a safeguard against appendicitis in the future . During the surgery , another specific cause for the pain and symptoms of appendicitis is found for about 30 % of these patients . Treatment The treatment of appendicitis is an immediate appendectomy . This may be done by opening the abdomen in the standard open appendectomy technique , or through laparoscopy . In laparoscopy , a smaller incision is made through the navel . Both methods can successfully accomplish the removal of the appendix . It is not certain that laparoscopy holds any advantage over open appendectomy . When the appendix has ruptured , patients undergoing a laparoscopic appendectomy may have to be switched to the open appendectomy procedure for the successful management of the rupture . If a ruptured appendix is left untreated , the condition is fatal . Prognosis Appendicitis is usually treated successfully by appendectomy . Unless there are complications , the patient should recover without further problems . The mortality rate in cases without complications is less than 0.1 % . When an appendix has ruptured , or a severe infection has developed , the likelihood is higher for complications , with slower recovery , or death from disease . There are higher rates of perforation and mortality among children and the elderly . Prevention Appendicitis is probably not preventable , although there is some indication that a diet high in green vegetables and tomatoes may help prevent appendicitis . Resources Periodicals Van Der Meer , Antonia . " Do You Know the Warning Signs of Appendicitis ? " Parents Magazine ( April 1997 ) : 49 . appendicitis ah - pen ″ dĭ - si tis inflammation of the vermiform appendix , a serious disease that usually requires surgical removal appendectomy . When performed early the operation is comparatively simple and safe . When the appendix becomes inflamed and infected , rupture may occur within a matter of hours . Rupture of the appendix leads to peritonitis , one of the most serious of all diseases , although its danger has been reduced by antibacterial agents . Appendicitis . Cause . If the tubelike appendix becomes plugged by a hard bit of fecal matter or by intestinal worms , or becomes inflamed from other causes , normal drainage can not take place . Because the appendix is chiefly lymphatic tissue , an infection that produces enlarged lymph nodes elsewhere in the body also can increase the glandular tissue in the appendix and obstruct its lumen . Narrowing of the lumen makes the pouchlike organ more susceptible to bacterial infection . Escherichia coli and other types of bacteria multiply and cause inflammation and infection that spread to the peritoneal cavity unless the body ' s defenses are able to overcome the infection or the appendix is removed before it ruptures . Symptoms . The classic symptoms of appendicitis are pain , nausea , vomiting , and low - grade fever in adults . Children tend to have higher fevers . The pain typically begins in the umbilical region and eventually localizes in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen over the site of the appendix . The pain is persistent and is aggravated by motion , causing the patient to bend over and tense the abdominal muscles ( muscle guarding ) . Rebound pain occurs when the abdomen is deeply palpated and the hand is quickly removed from the abdomen . The Other data that may support a diagnosis of appendicitis are obtained through a blood cell count . An elevated white cell count ( leukocytosis ) commonly accompanies appendicitis as it does other kinds of inflammation . Mild leukocytosis of 14,000 to 16,000 per mm 3 is common . A white cell count higher than 20,000 per mm 3 suggests a ruptured appendix and peritonitis . Other diseases that can be mistaken for appendicitis are gallbladder attacks and kidney infection on the right side . The onset of pneumonia , rheumatic fever , or diabetic ketoacidosis can imitate appendicitis . In women , there is the possibility of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy , a twisted ovarian cyst , or a hemorrhaging ovarian follicle at the middle of the menstrual cycle . Patient Care . When appendicitis is suspected because of symptoms exhibited by the patient , a health care provider should be notified immediately . The patient should lie down and remain as quiet as possible . It is best to give him nothing by mouth , and because of the danger of aggravating the condition and possibly causing rupture of the appendix , cathartics and laxatives are contraindicated . Applications of heat and the administration of laxatives or enemas are contraindicated for the same reasons . After the patient has been assessed and a diagnosis of appendicitis has been established , appendectomy During the preoperative phase it may be necessary to hydrate the patient with intravenous fluid therapy , especially when there has been prolonged nausea and vomiting . Decompression of the intestinal contents by suction via a nasogastric tube is also necessary in some cases . Postoperative care is usually uneventful . The exception is when there has been a ruptured appendix ; this serious condition warrants diligent and aggressive nursing care to overcome the effects of peritonitis with the resultant shifting of body fluids , hypovolemia ( which can be life - threatening ) , and septic shock . Antibacterial drugs are administered to combat the infection . Gastric and intestinal decompression is maintained , and most surgeons advocate intraperitoneal draining by means of Penrose drains in order to prevent formation of abscesses and promote healing . The most common complications of appendectomy and peritonitis Ongoing assessment of the patient includes observing the type and amount of drainage from the intestinal tract via the nasogastric tube and from the Penrose drain in the wound ; appearance of the surgical incision ; dressings applied and the frequency with which they are changed ; evidence that bowel function is returning to normal , e.g. , presence of bowel sounds , passing of flatus and fecal material ; measurement of intake and output ; tolerance of foods and liquids once the nasogastric tube is removed and decompression discontinued ; and tolerance for physical activity , coughing and deep ap · pen · di · ci · tis ă - pen ' di - sī ' tis ) , Inflammation of the vermiform appendix .

The inflammation is caused by an obstruction such as a hard mass of feces or a foreign body in the lumen of the appendix , lymphoid hyperplasia , fibrous disease of the intestinal wall , an adhesion , or a parasitic infestation . Appendicitis is most likely to occur in teenagers and young adults and is more prevalent in male patients . One kind of appendicitis is chronic appendicitis observations The most common symptom is constant pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen around McBurney ' s point , which the patient describes as having begun as intermittent pain in midabdomen . Rebound tenderness occurs at McBurney ' s point as well . Pain may also occur on the left side . Extreme tenderness occurs over the right rectus abdominis muscle . To decrease the pain , the patient keeps the knees bent to prevent tension of the abdominal muscles . Appendicitis is characterized by vomiting , a low - grade fever of 99 ° to 102 ° nursing considerations The nurse is alert to the signs and symptoms of rupture and peritonitis and provides education about the diagnosis , treatment , and recovery . interventions Treatment is appendectomy within 24 to 48 hours of the first symptoms because delay usually results in rupture and peritonitis as fecal matter is released into the peritoneal cavity .

It is made worse by movement or coughing . There is considerable local tenderness and either constipation or slight diarrhoea may occur . The main danger is rupture of an obstructed appendix , release of the contents into the abdominal cavity , and PERITONITIS .

My doctor sent me to the emergency room because he thought I might have acute appendicitis . What are the symptoms and how is it diagnosed ? A . The symptoms of acute appendicitis can be misleading at first , because they are very unspecific . Usually the patient arrives with abdominal pain , that is " classicaly " located in the lower right side of the abdomen . However , sometimes the pain ca n ' t be located at a certain location . The pain tends to increase within hours , and become intolerable , to a point where the patient seeks medical care . Other common symptoms are nausea , vomiting , lack of appetite and fever . The diagnosis is usually made clinically by physical Q . What Causes Acute Appendicitis ? I ' ve heard that appendicitis is a very common situation . What causes it to happen ? Is there a way to avoid it ? A . Appendicitis is caused by an infection of the appendix , usually from bacterias that are already located in the abdomen . It is not a situation that can be avoided and can occur in a high prevalence in the population . Q . What happens if you leave appendicitis alone ? I have symptoms of appendicitis , but I do n ' t want to go to the hospital . What should I do ? and what could happen ? If you have symptoms of appendicitis you should see a doctor immediately , because the major complication of an untreated appendix is rupture and infection of the entire abdomen , that can lead to generalized sepsis .

Urinary tract infection McGraw - Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine . © 2002 by The McGraw - Hill Companies , Inc . infection ( in - fek ' shon ) [ L . infectio discoloration , dye ] A disease caused by microorganisms , esp . those that release toxins or invade body tissues . Worldwide , infectious diseases such as malaria , tuberculosis , hepatitis viruses , and diarrheal illnesses produce more disability and death than any other cause . Infection differs from colonization of the body by microorganisms in that during colonization , microbes reside harmlessly in the or perform useful functions for it , e.g. , bacteria gut produce vitamin K . By contrast , infectious illnesses typically cause bodily harm . Etiology The most common pathogenic organisms are bacteria ( including mycobacteria , mycoplasmas , spirochetes , chlamydiae , rickettsiae ) , viruses , fungi , protozoa , helminths . Life - threatening disease usually occurs when immunity is weak suppressed ( such as during first few months of life , older malnourished persons , trauma burn victims , leukopenic patients , those with chronic such diabetes mellitus , renal failure , cancer , asplenia , alcoholism , heart , lung , liver disease ) . Many disease - causing agents , however , may afflict vigorous persons , whether they are young old , fit weak . Some examples include sexually transmitted ( such herpes simplex chlamydiosis ) , respiratory ( influenza varicella ) , food waterborne pathogens ( cholera , schistosomiasis ) . Symptoms Systemic infections cause fevers , chills , sweats , malaise , occasionally , headache , muscle joint pains , changes mental status . Localized infections tissue redness , swelling , tenderness , heat , loss function . Transmission Pathogens can be transmitted to their hosts many mechanisms , namely , inhalation , ingestion , injection bite a vector , direct ( skin - to - skin ) contact , contact with blood fluids , fetomaternal contact , contact contaminated articles ( fomites ) , self - inoculation . In health care settings , often to patients hands professional staff other employees . Hand hygiene before after patient prevents many these infections . Defenses The body ' s defenses against infection begin mechanisms block entry organism into skin respiratory , gastrointestinal , genitourinary tract . These defenses include chemicals , e.g. , lysozymes tears , fatty acids skin , gastric acid , pancreatic enzymes bowel ; mucus traps organism ; clusters antibody - producing B lymphocytes , tonsils , Peyer ' s patches ; fungi ( normal flora ) on skin mucosal surfaces destroy more dangerous organisms . In patients receiving immunosuppressive drug therapy , normal flora can become source opportunistic infections . Also , one organism impair external permit another enter ; viruses enhance bacterial invasion damaging respiratory tract mucosa . body ' s second line defense is nonspecific immune response , inflammation . third major defensive system , specific immune response , depends on lymphocyte activation , which B T cells recognize specific antigenic markers organism . cells immunoglobulins ( antibodies ) , T orchestrate a multifaceted attack cytotoxic cells . See : B cell T cell inflammation for table Spread Once pathogens have crossed cutaneous mucosal barriers gained entry into internal tissues , they may spread quickly along membranes meninges , pleura , peritoneum . Some enzymes damage cell membranes , enabling them move rapidly from cell cell . Others enter lymphatic channels ; if overcome white blood lymph nodes , move bloodstream multiply at sites . This frequently seen pyogenic organisms , which create abscesses far initial site . Viruses rickettsiae , reproduce only inside cells , travel systemic infections ; viruses damage fetus pregnancy rubella cytomegalovirus ) travel via blood . Diagnosis Although characteristic rashes ) diagnosed clinically , definitive identification usually occurs laboratory . Carefully collected cultured specimens blood , urine , stool , sputum , fluids used identify their susceptibilities treatment . Treatment Many infections , like common cold , self - limited require no treatment . Understanding this concept crucial because misuse antibiotics does not help affected patient society fostering antimicrobial resistance , microorganisms methicillin - resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections , urinary impetigo , respond well antimicrobial drugs . Others , like abscesses , require incision drainage . acute infection An appears suddenly be brief prolonged duration . airborne infection An caused inhalation pathogenic organisms droplet nuclei . apical infection located at tip root tooth . autochthonous infection Infection normally present patient ' s body . It occur when host compromised , resident flora introduced an abnormal site . bacterial infection Any bacteria . Bacteria exist variety relationships human body . They colonize surfaces provide benefits , limiting growth producing vitamins absorption ( in symbiotic relationship ) . Bacteria coexist human without producing harmful beneficial effects ( in commensal relationship ) . also invade tissues , cells , trigger systemic inflammatory responses , release toxins See : bacterium table urinary tract infection blood - borne infection through ( cells , serum , plasma ) an infected individual . occur sexually , through injection , via medical dental procedure blood - contaminated instrument inadvertently used after inadequate sterilization . Examples blood - borne hepatitis C AIDS . needle - stick injury breakthrough infection despite previous vaccination . chronic infection having protracted course . concurrent infection existence two same time . superinfection cross infection transfer one hospital another . cryptogenic infection whose source unknown . cytomegalovirus infection Abbreviation : CMV A persistent , latent white cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) . Approx . 60 % people over 35 have been infected CMV , childhood early adulthood ; incidence appears higher low socioeconomic status . Primary mild people normal function , but CMV reactivated overt pregnant women , AIDS patients , receiving immunosuppressive therapy following organ transplantation . has been isolated saliva , urine , semen , breast milk , feces , blood , vaginal secretions infected ; it secretions retain virus months years . During pregnancy , woman transmit virus transplacentally fetus devastating results . Approx . 10 % infants develop inclusion disease , marked anemia , thrombocytopenia , purpura , hepatosplenomegaly , microcephaly , abnormal mental motor development ; than 50 % these infants die . Most fetal mother first time this pregnancy , but also following reinfection reactivation virus . Patients AIDS organ transplants develop disseminated causes retinitis , esophagitis , colitis , meningoencephalitis , pneumonitis , inflammation renal tubules . Etiology person person sexual activity , pregnancy delivery , transplantation , contaminated secretions ; rarely , ( 5 % ) transfusions contain latent CMV . Health care workers caring newborns immunosuppressed no greater risk acquiring who groups ( approx . 3 % ) . Pregnant women all health workers should strictly adhere standard control precautions . Symptoms Primary healthy asymptomatic , some mononucleosis - type symptoms ( fever , sore throat , swollen glands ) . immunosuppressed related system blurred vision progressing blindness ; severe diarrhea ; cough , dyspnea , hypoxemia . Antibodies seen identify do not protect against reactivation virus . Treatment Antiviral agents ganciclovir foscarnet treat retinitis , colitis , pneumonitis patients ; chronic antiviral therapy has suppress CMV , protocol effective preventing recurrence development meningoencephalitis . Ganciclovir limited effect congenital CMV . No vaccine available . Patient care Health providers help prevent advising pregnant women immunocompromised avoid exposure who confirmed suspected cases spreads another result exposure ( as transfusions ) fluids including feces , saliva . Contact diapers drool child result previously unexposed infection . most congenital infection , affecting about 35,000 newborns each year . newly acquired trimester esp . hazardous developing fetus . As result , young antibodies should avoid providing child youngsters . U.S. , nurses failed advise risk pose others judged negligent courts . Parents children severe support counseling . Although nonpregnant adults harmful , it serious death HIV / AIDS , transplants , take cancer chemotherapeutic drugs . Infected advised about uses prescribed drug therapies , importance completing full course therapy , adverse effects report managing them . Family caregivers taught observe standard precautions handling secretions . Since asymptomatic secrete virus , precautions maintained professionals all times present being handled . deep neck infection enters fascial planes neck originating oral cavity , pharynx , regional lymph node . It life - threatening if enters carotid sheath , paravertebral spaces , mediastinum . Death sepsis , asphyxiation , hemorrhage . Aggressive surgical required because antibiotics alone infrequently control disease .

cellulitis Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Wikipedia Cellulitis Definition Cellulitis is a spreading bacterial infection just below the skin surface . It is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus Description The word " cellulitis " actually means " inflammation of the cells . " Specifically , cellulitis refers to an infection of tissue just below skin surface . In humans , and tissues under are most common locations for microbial infection . Skin first defense against invading bacteria and other microbes . An can occur when this normally strong barrier damaged due to surgery , injury , or a burn . Even something as small as scratch an insect bite allows bacteria enter skin , which may lead infection . Usually , immune system kills any invading bacteria , but sometimes are able grow cause Once past surface , warmth , moisture , nutrients allow grow rapidly . Disease - causing release proteins called enzymes which cause tissue damage . The body ' s reaction damage inflammation characterized by pain redness , heat , swelling . This red , painful region grows bigger resulting damage spread . An untreated may spread lymphatic system acute lymphangitis ) , lymph nodes lymphadenitis ) , bloodstream bacteremia into deeper tissues . often occurs on face , neck , legs . Orbital cellulitis A very serious infection , called orbital cellulitis , occurs when enter infect tissues surrounding eye . In 50 - 70 % all cases orbital cellulitis , spreads eye ( s ) from sinuses upper respiratory tract ( nose throat ) . Twenty - five percent infections occur after surgery on face . Other sources include direct from eye injury , dental throat infection , through bloodstream . Infection surrounding eye causes redness , swollen eyelids , severe pain , causes bulge out . This serious can lead temporary loss vision , blindness , brain abscesses , inflammation brain spinal meningitis other complications . Before discovery antibiotics caused blindness in 20 % patients death in 17 % patients . Antibiotic treatment has significantly reduced incidence blindness death . Causes and symptoms Although kinds it often Streptococcus pyogenes ( the strep throat Staphylococcus aureus . so - called " flesh - eating bacteria " and , rare cases , dangerous , deep necrotizing fasciitis . Orbital be can not presence oxygen ( anaerobic bacteria ) . children , Haemophilus influenzae type B frequently following sinus be picked up person who has strep throat infected sore . Other cellulitis - causing acquired direct contact with infected sores . Persons who at higher risk for those have severe underlying disease ( such cancer diabetes , kidney disease taking steroid medications , have reduced immune ( because AIDS organ transplant , etc . ) , been burned , insect bites , blood circulation limbs , had leg vein removed coronary bypass surgery . addition , chicken pox , human animal bite wounds wounds , recent surgery put person at higher risk cellulitis . characteristic symptoms warmth , pain , swelling . area appears red patch that gets larger rapidly within first 24 hours . A thick red line progresses towards heart appear indicating lymph vessels ( lymphangitis ) . symptoms include fever chills , tiredness , muscle aches , general ill feeling . Some people also experience nausea , vomiting , stiff joints , hair loss site . characteristic swelling , tenderness . bulge out it difficult impossible move . Temporary vision , pus drainage eye , chills , fever , headaches , vomiting , general ill feeling occur . Diagnosis diagnosed treated family doctor , infectious disease specialist , doctor specializes diseases ( dermatologist ) , case doctor ( ophthalmologist ) . diagnosis based mainly patient ' s symptoms . patient ' s recent medical history also used diagnosis . Laboratory tests done determine kind causing but these tests not always successful . If injury visible , sterile cotton swab used pick up sample wound . If there no obvious needle inject small amount sterile salt solution into skin , then solution withdrawn . salt should pick some causing blood sample taken arm see if entered bloodstream . Also , test done count number white cells blood . High numbers white cells suggest that body trying fight bacterial For perform special x - ray scan computed tomography scan ( CT ) . enables see head cross - section determine exactly where if any occurred . CT takes about 20 minutes . Treatment Antibiotic treatment only way battle this potentially life - threatening Mild moderate treated with following antibiotics taken every four eight hours mouth : penicillins ( Bicillin , Wycillin , Pen Vee , V - Cillin ) erythromycin ( E - Mycin , Ery - Tab ) cephalexin ( Biocef , Keflex ) cloxacillin ( Tegopen ) medications recommended , such acetaminophen ( Tylenol ) ibuprofen ( Motrin , Advil ) relieve aspirin decrease fever . normally healthy usually not hospitalized mild moderate cellulitis . General measures elevation area , rest , application warm , moist compresses area . will want patient again make sure antibiotic effective stopping Persons high will probably hospitalized monitoring . Antibiotics given intravenously patients Complications such deep bone joint infections , might require surgical drainage longer course antibiotic treatment . Extensive destruction require plastic repair . cases sinus required drain sinuses . Prognosis Over 90 % all cured after seven ten days treatment . and / or those taking immunosuppressive drugs experience more form life threatening . Serious complications poisoning ( bacteria growing stream ) , meningitis ( brain spinal cord infection ) , death ( necrosis ) , and / or lymphangitis ( infection vessels ) . Severe destructive life - threatening necrotizing fasciitis . Key terms Inflammation local , protective response injury . It characterized swelling , pain . Necrotizing fasciitis destructive follows involves underlying tissues . Sinuses Air cavities found bones head . sinuses connected nose prone Prevention prevented wearing appropriate protective equipment during work sports avoid cleaning cuts injuries antiseptic soap , keeping wounds clean protected , watching signs entire prescribed dose antibiotic , maintaining good health . diabetes should try maintain good sugar control .

Newborn infants do produce sufficient for test , but has been noted that older babies “ taste salty ” when kissed . Supporting evidence can confirm test finding . Treatment Under careful supervision health care team , parents taught principles home treatment required sleep regularly plastic mist tent , into which dense fog pumped help liquefy check infection .

dengue fever Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Legal Acronyms Encyclopedia Wikipedia Dengue Fever Definition Dengue fever is a disease caused by one of a number of viruses that are carried by mosquitoes . These mosquitoes then transmit the virus to humans . Description The virus that causes dengue fever is called an arbovirus , which stands for arthropod - borne virus . Mosquitoes are type arthropod . In number regions , mosquitoes carry this and responsible for passing it along to humans . These regions include the Middle East , far East , Africa , and Caribbean Islands . In these locations , dengue arbovirus endemic , meaning naturally consistently lives in location . The disease only shows up in United States sporadically . order understand how transmitted , several terms need be defined . word " host " means an animal ( including human ) can be infected with particular disease . word " vector " means organism can carry particular disease - causing agent ( like or bacteria ) without actually developing disease . vector then pass or bacteria on new host . Many common illnesses United States ( including common cold many viral causes diarrhea , influenza " flu " ) spread because viruses cause these illness passed directly from person person . However , can not passed directly from one infected person another . Instead , responsible requires intermediate vector , mosquito , carries host another . mosquito carries arbovirus same type mosquito transmit other diseases , including yellow fever This called Aedes egypti most common victims children younger than 10 years age . Causes and symptoms Dengue occur when carrying bites human , passing on new host . Once body , travels various glands where it multiplies . enter bloodstream . presence within blood vessels , especially those feeding skin , changes blood vessels . vessels swell leak . spleen lymph nodes become enlarged , patches liver tissue die . A process disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC ) occurs , where chemicals clotting used up lead risk severe bleeding ( hemorrhage ) . After has been transmitted human host , period incubation occurs . During this time ( lasting about five eight days ) multiplies . Symptoms appear suddenly include high fever , chills , headache eye pain red eyes , enlarged lymph nodes , red flush face , lower back pain , extreme weakness , severe aches legs joints . This initial period illness lasts about two three days . After time , drops rapidly patient sweats heavily . day feeling relatively well , patient ' s temperature increases again , although not as much as first time . A rash small bumps begins arms legs , spreading chest , abdomen , back . It rarely affects face . palms hands soles feet become swollen turn bright red . characteristic combination fever , rash , headache " dengue triad . " Most people recover fully although weakness fatigue may last several weeks . Once has been with his her immune system keeps producing cells prevent reinfection year . More may occur some people . people experiencing first time . However , some cases have already had at time , recovered , reinfected virus . cases , infection teaches immune system recognize presence arbovirus . When cells encounter during later infections , over - reacts . types illnesses , hemorrhagic ( DHF ) shock syndrome ( DSS ) , involve more symptoms . Fever symptoms , but other initial symptoms absent . patient develops cough followed appearance small purplish spots ( petechiae ) skin . petechiae areas leaking out vessels . Large bruised areas appear bleeding worsens abdominal pain severe . begin vomit substance looks like coffee grounds . actually sign into stomach . As vessels more damaged , they leak continue increase diameter ( dilate ) , causing decrease flow all tissues body . state low flow shock . Shock result damage body ' s organs ( especially heart kidneys ) because low deprives them oxygen . Diagnosis Diagnosis should suspected endemic whenever high goes two seven days , especially if accompanied tendency . Symptoms shock should suggest progression DSS . causing few types isolated serum blood . serum fluid which suspended . Serum tested phase travels throughout bloodstream longer than arboviral infections . tests used look reactions between patient ' s laboratory - produced antibodies . Antibodies special recognize markers ( or antigens ) present invading organisms . During tests , antibodies added sample serum . Healthcare workers look reactions would only if viral antigens were present serum . Treatment There no treatment available shorten course DHF , DSS . Medications given lower decrease muscle aches headaches . Fluids given through needle vein prevent dehydration Blood transfusions necessary hemorrhaging occurs . Oxygen administered patients shock . Prognosis prognosis uncomplicated very good , almost 100 % patients fully recover . many 6 - 30 % all die when DHF death rate among youngest ( under year old ) . places excellent medical care available , very close monitoring immediate treatment complications lowers death rate among DHF DSS 1 % . Prevention Prevention decreasing population . Any sources standing water ( buckets , vases , etc . ) breed must eliminated . Mosquito repellant recommended those endemic .

digestion Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Legal Encyclopedia Wikipedia digestion dĭ - jes chun 1 . the subjection of a substance to prolonged heat and moisture , so as to soften and disintegrate it . 2 . the act or process of converting food into chemical substances that can be absorbed into blood utilized by body tissue . Digestion . 1 . Carbohydrates : principally starches , lactose , sucrose . Starches are acted on by enzyme ptyalin ( alpha - amylase ) secreted in saliva , hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) in stomach , pancreatic amylase intestinal amylase small intestine , which split starches maltose isomaltose . These , turn , are acted on maltase isomaltase split two molecules glucose . Lactose is enzyme lactase a molecule galactose molecule glucose . The monosaccharides glucose , galactose , fructose absorbed from small intestine blood . 2 . Fats : emulsified bile salts agitation . The emulsified fats upon pancreatic enteric lipase form fatty acids , glycerol , monoglycerides , which through intestinal walls . Small quantities diglycerides triglycerides also absorbed . 3 . Proteins : chiefly stomach pepsin , splits proteins proteoses , peptones , polypeptides . In intestine they enzymes trypsin , chymotrypsin , carboxypeptidase form polypeptides amino acids . In peptidases complete breakdown peptides dipeptides amino acids . Almost all proteins eventually digested either as acids or dipeptides tripeptides . See illustration . Digestion is accomplished physically breaking down , churning , diluting , dissolving food substances , also splitting them chemically simpler compounds . Carbohydrates eventually broken down monosaccharides ( simple sugars ) ; broken down acids ; fats fatty acids glycerol ( glycerin ) . digestive process takes place alimentary canal digestive system salivary glands , liver , gallbladder , pancreas located outside alimentary canal , but they considered accessory organs because their secretions provide essential enzymes . gastric action gastric juice . digestion / hydration omaha system client problem defined converting substances suitable for absorption assimilation body supplying water maintain adequate fluids . action juices . juice . peptic gastric digestion primary occurring gastrointestinal tract . salivary change starch maltose saliva .

elephantiasis ( redirected from elephant leg Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Elephantiasis Definition The word elephantiasis is a vivid and accurate term for the syndrome it describes : the gross ( visible ) enlargement of arms , legs , or genitals to elephantoid size . Description True is result of a parasitic infection caused by three specific kinds round worms . The long , threadlike worms block body ' s lymphatic system — a network channels , lymph nodes , and organs that helps maintain proper fluid levels in body by draining lymph from tissues into bloodstream . This blockage causes fluids to collect in tissues , which can lead great swelling , called " lymphedema . " Limbs can swell so enormously that they resemble an elephant ' s foreleg size , texture , color . This severely disfiguring disabling condition elephantiasis . There are few different causes elephantiasis , but agents responsible for most world are filarial worms : white , slender round worms found most tropical subtropical places . They transmitted particular kinds ( species ) mosquitoes , is , bloodsucking insects . Infection with these called " lymphatic filariasis " over long period time cause elephantiasis . Lymphatic filariasis disease underdeveloped regions found South America , Central Africa , Asia , Pacific Islands , Caribbean . It disease has been present centuries , as ancient Persian Indian writings clearly described elephant - like swellings arms , legs , genitals . It estimated 120 million people world have lymphatic filariasis . appears be spreading , spite decades research this area . Other terms Barbados leg , elephant leg , morbus herculeus , mal de Cayenne , myelolymphangioma . Other situations lead are : protozoan leishmaniasis repeated streptococcal infection surgical removal nodes ( usually prevent spread cancer hereditary birth defect Causes and symptoms Three cause filariasis : Wuchereria bancrofti , Brugia malayi Brugia timori Of these three , W . bancrofti makes up about 90 % cases . Man only known host W . bancrofti Culex , Aedes Anopheles mosquitoes carriers bancrofti . Anopheles Mansonia mosquitoes carriers B . malayi In addition , B . timori Infected female take blood meal from human , doing so , introduce larval forms particular parasite they carry person . These larvae migrate toward channel , then travel various places within system , usually positioning themselves or near nodes throughout body . During this time , mature into more developed larvae eventually adult worms . Depending upon species worm , development take few months more than year . adult grow about 1 ( 2.5 cm ) 4 ( 10 cm ) long . live three eight years . Some have been known live 20 years , one case 40 years . begin reproducing numerous embryos , microfilariae . microfilariae travel bloodstream , where be ingested mosquito when it takes blood meal infected person . If not ingested mosquito , microfilariae die within 12 months . If mosquito , continue mature . They totally dependent on their specific species mosquito develop further . cycle continues when takes another meal . Most symptoms an infected person experiences due blockage system due substances ( excretions secretions ) produced body ' s allergic reactions may include repeated episodes fever shaking chills , sweating , headaches , vomiting , pain Enlarged nodes , swelling affected area , skin ulcers , bone joint pain , tiredness , red streaks along arm leg also may occur . Abscesses form vessels . appear at surface skin as well .

At first swollen leg feel soft touch but eventually becomes hard thick . appear darkened warty even crack , allowing bacteria infect complicate disease . usually do n ' t injury . In some instances , " eosinophilia , " increased number eosinophils ( a type white cells ) blood . intense people who never exposed than native tropical areas where occurs . because many native often immunologically tolerant . Diagnosis only sure way diagnose detecting parasite itself , either microfilariae . Microscopic examination person ' s reveal But many times , who long time do not their bloodstream . absence them , therefore , does mean necessarily person infected . cases , examining urine hydrocele performing other clinical tests necessary . Collecting individual microscopic examination should done during night numerous ( Interestingly , bite frequently . ) During day migrate deeper vessels body , especially lung . decided perform test during day , individual given " provocative " dose medication provoke enter Blood then collected hour later examination . Detecting difficult because deep system difficult get to . Biopsies performed do n ' t reveal much information . Treatment drug choice treating diethylcarbamazine ( DEC ) . trade name United States Hetrazan . treatment schedule typically 2 mg / kg per day , times weeks . drug taken tablet form . DEC kills quickly injures kills slowly , if at all . all killed , remaining paired males females continue produce larvae . Therefore , several courses DEC treatment over period necessary rid parasites . has shown reduce size enlarged and , taken long - term , reduce India , given form medicated salt , which helps prevent spread disease . side effects almost all natural allergic reactions dying parasites rather itself . For reason , must carefully danger individual . Side effects include fever , chills , headache dizziness , nausea vomiting , itching joint pain . These side occur first days treatment . subside continues taking drug . There alternate plan use DEC . plan designed kill parasites slowly ( to dead dying body ) . Lower doses days , followed higher dose 2 mg / kg per day remaining weeks . addition , steroids prescribed individual ' s body reacting severely dead Another used Ivermectin . Early research studies Ivermectin show excellent killing microfilariae , on still being investigated . probable patients will need using kill Mild Ivermectin headache , fever , myalgia . means managing pressure bandages wrap swollen limb elastic stockings help pressure . Exercising elevating bandaged limb also help its size . Surgery performed removing excess fatty fibrous tissue , draining swelled area , removing Prognosis With treatment , prognosis good early mild cases filariasis . prognosis poor , however , heavy parasitic infestations . Prevention two main ways control preventively , shown effective , number carrier insects area . Avoiding bites insecticides insect repellents helpful , wearing protective clothing using bed netting .

sinusitis ( redirected from ethmoid sinusitis Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Sinusitis Definition Sinusitis refers to an inflammation of the sinuses , airspaces within the bones of face . is most often due to an infection within these spaces . Description The sinuses are paired air pockets located bones face . They are : frontal sinuses ; located above eyes , in center region each eyebrow maxillary sinuses ; cheekbones , just either side nose ethmoid between eyes , just behind bridge nose . sphenoid Located behind ethmoid sinuses , and eyes . The sinuses are connected with nose . They lined with same kind skin found elsewhere respiratory tract . This skin has tiny little hairs projecting from it , called cilia . cilia beat constantly , help move mucus produced in into respiratory tract . beating cilia sweeping mucus along tract helps clear tract any debris , or any organisms which may be present . When lining is at all swollen , swelling interferes normal flow mucus . Trapped can then fill causing uncomfortable sensation pressure and providing excellent environment for growth infection - causing bacteria . Causes and symptoms almost always due infection , although swelling from allergies can mimic symptoms pressure , pain congestion ; allergies set stage for a bacterial infection . Bacteria most common cause sinus infection . Streptococcus pneumoniae causes about 33 % all cases , while Haemophilus influenzae causes about 25 % cases . children may be caused by Moraxella catarrhalis ( 20 % ) . In people weakened immune systems ( including patients diabetes ; acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS patients who taking medications which lower their immune resistance , such as cancer transplant patients ) , sinusitis caused by fungi such as Aspergillus , Candida Mucorales . Acute usually follows some type upper infection cold . Instead ending , cold seems linger on , constant even worsening congestion . Drainage nose often changes a clear color thicker , yellowish - green . There fever . Headache pain over affected occur , well feeling pressure worsen when patient bends over . There jaw teeth . Some children , particular , get upset stomachs infected drainage going down back their throats , being swallowed into stomachs . Some develop cough Chronic occurs when problem has existed at least three months . rarely fever chronic sinusitis . Sinus frequent , nasal congestion . Because nature they not able drain out Drainage , therefore , drips constantly down back throat , resulting continuously sore throat bad breath Diagnosis Diagnosis sometimes tricky , because symptoms so resemble those uncomplicated cold . However , should strongly suspected cold lingers beyond week ' s time . Medical practitioners have differing levels trust certain basic examinations commonly conducted office . For example , tapping over inflammation bacterial Sometimes diagnosis problematic because mimic those common usually treated antibiotics . ( Illustration Electronic Illustrators Group . ) cause sinusitis , but it not . A procedure called " sinus transillumination " may , not , also helpful . Using flashlight pressed up against cheek , practitioner will look patient ' s open mouth . When full air ( under normal conditions ) , light will project through sinus , visible on roof mouth lit - up , reddened area . full mucus , light stopped . While this simple test helpful , it certainly not perfect way diagnose rule out diagnosis sinusitis . X - ray pictures CT scans helpful both acute chronic People should also checked allergies ; they need procedure scope see if kind anatomic obstruction causing illness . For example , septum ( the cartilage separates two nasal cavities each other ) slightly displaced , deviated septum This result obstruction , setting person up development Treatment Antibiotic medications used treat acute Suitable antibiotics include sulfa drugs , amoxicillin , variety cephalosporins These given two weeks , but given even longer periods time . Decongestants short - term use decongestant sprays , useful . Acetaminophen ibuprofen decrease headache associated Also , running humidifier prevent passages drying uncomfortably , help soothe accompanying sore throat cough . Chronic treated initially antibiotics . Steroid sprays used decrease passages . If anatomic reason found sinusitis , need corrected surgery . If surgical necessary , samples taken same time allow identification organisms present Fungal require surgery clean sinuses . Then , relatively long course very strong antifungal medication amphotericin B through needle vein ( intravenously ) . Alternative treatment associated food allergies An elimination / challenge diet recommended identify eliminate allergenic foods . Irrigating salt water solution recommended allergies , order passages mucus . Another solution lavage ( washing ) utilizes powdered goldenseal Hydrastis canadensis ) . Other herbal treatments , taken internally , include mixture made eyebright Euphrasia officinalis ) , goldenseal , yarrow Achillea millefolium ) , horseradish , ephedra Ephedra sinica or , present , mixture made echinacea Echinacea spp . ) , wild indigo , poke root Phytolacca decandra - Americana ) . Homeopathic practitioners find number remedies useful treating Among recommend are : Arsenicum album , Kalium bichromium , Nux vomica , Mercurius iodatus Silica Acupuncture been treat have variety dietary supplements , including vitamins A , C , E , mineral zinc . Contrast hydrotherapy ( hot compresses , alternating 3 minutes hot , 30 seconds cold , repeated 3 times always ending cold ) applied directly relieve enhance healing . A direct inhalation essential oils ( 2 drops oil 2 cups water ) using thyme , rosemary , lavender open kill bacteria that Prognosis Prognosis sinus infections excellent , although some individuals find that particularly prone contracting infections after Fungal however , relatively high death rate . Prevention Prevention involves usual standards good hygiene cut on number colds individual catches . Avoiding exposure cigarette smoke , identifying treating allergies , avoiding deep dives swimming pools prevent infections . During winter , good idea use humidifier .

Calicivirus ( redirected from feline calicivirus infection Also found in : Dictionary virus vi rus any member of a unique class of infectious agents , which were originally distinguished by their smallness ( hence , they were described as “ filtrable ” because their ability to pass through fine ceramic filters that blocked all cells , including bacteria ) and inability to replicate outside and without assistance a living host cell . Because these properties are shared by certain bacteria rickettsiae chlamydiae ) , viruses are now characterized simple organization unique mode replication . A virus consists genetic material , which may be either DNA or RNA , is surrounded protein coat and , in some viruses , membranous envelope . Unlike cellular organisms , viruses do not contain all the biochemical mechanisms for own replication ; they replicate using the biochemical mechanisms host cell synthesize assemble separate components . ( Some do contain or produce essential enzymes when there is no cellular enzyme that will serve . ) When complete particle virion comes in contact with cell , only viral nucleic acid and , some viruses , few enzymes injected into cell . Within cell genetic material DNA replicated transcribed into messenger RNA enzymes , proteins coded for viral genes synthesized ribosomes . These proteins form capsid ( protein coat ) ; there may also be few regulatory involved assembling capsid around newly synthesized nucleic acid , controlling cell , lysing when new virions have been assembled . Some these already have been present within initial virus , others coded genome production within Because cells not ability “ viral RNA ” but able transcribe messenger RNA , RNA must produce material new virions . For certain replicated enzyme transcriptase contained virion , produced using as messenger . In other reverse transcriptase contained virion transcribes message on DNA , then Reverse transcriptase actually combination two enzymes : polymerase assembles copy an RNase degrades source RNA . In membranes , membrane - bound move , like membrane proteins , surface . When assemble form capsid , part membrane pinched off envelope virion . Some only genes coding proteins . Other more complex ones hundred genes . But no has thousands required even simplest cells . Although general “ steal ” lipid envelope from virtually them “ envelope proteins ” penetrate serve receptors . facilitate entry others directly pathogenic effects . rapid lysis cells , but rather remain latent long periods before appearance clinical symptoms . This carrier state can take any several different forms . The term latency used denote interval from infection clinical manifestations . lentiviruses it was formerly mistakenly believed was inactive during this period . The true situation lentiviruses rapidly replicating spawning dozens quasi - species until particularly effective one overruns host ' s immune system defeat it . Other however , such herpesviruses actually enter time known “ viral latency , ” little replication taking place until further replication initiated specific trigger . For many years forms latency thought identical , now it has discovered different types with basic important distinctions . latency , most cells protected infection immune involving antibodies particles interferon Cell - mediated immunity essential , especially dealing infected cells . Cytotoxic lymphocytes also act antigen - presenting better coordinate immune response Containment mucosal tissues far more complex , involving follicular dendritic Langerhans enveloped can produced infected continue growing dividing without being killed . This probably involves sort intracellular regulation growth . It possible incorporated DNA , producing carrier state . These almost always retroviruses called proviruses before after integration genome . Few toxins , although infections bacteria cause previously innocuous become much pathogenic toxic . proteins , such human immunodeficiency appear actively toxic , those exception , rule . However , highly antigenic . Mechanisms pathologic injury include lysis induction proliferation ( as warts molluscum contagiosum ) ; formation giant syncytia , intracellular inclusion bodies caused virus ; perhaps most importantly , symptoms caused host ' s immune response inflammation deposition antigen - antibody complexes tissues . reproduction almost completely carried out mechanisms , points process where stopping reproduction will kill this reason chemotherapeutic agents diseases . acyclovir an antiviral requires become active . infections prevented vaccination active immunization ) , treated passive immunization immune globulin although shown effective against dozen viruses .

fetal hemoglobin test Fetal Hemoglobin Test Definition Fetal hemoglobin ( Hemoglobin F ) , Alkali - resistant hemoglobin , HBF ( or Hb F ) , is the major hemoglobin component in the bloodstream of fetus . After birth , it decreases rapidly until only traces are found in normal children and adults . Purpose The determination of fetal is an aid evaluating low concentrations blood ( anemia ) , as well as hereditary persistence fetal hemoglobin , and a group inherited disorders affecting among which are thalassemias sickle cell anemia . Description At birth , newborn ' s blood comprised 60 % - 90 % hemoglobin . The then rapidly decreases to 2 % or less after second to fourth years . By time adulthood , only traces ( 0.5 % or less ) found bloodstream . In some diseases associated with abnormal production ( see Hemoglobinopathy , below ) , may persist larger amounts . When this occurs , elevation raises question possible underlying disease . For example , HBF can be higher levels hereditary hemolytic anemias all types leukemias , pregnancy diabetes , thyroid disease , during anticonvulsant drug therapy . It may also reappear adults when bone marrow overactive , disorders pernicious anemia multiple myeloma , metastatic cancer marrow . When increased after age four , it should be investigated for cause . Hemoglobinopathy Hemoglobin oxygen - carrying pigment red cells . It a large molecule made bone marrow from two components , heme globin . Defects production either genetic acquired . genetic defects further subdivided into errors heme ( porphyria ) , those globin ( known collectively hemoglobinopathies ) . There two categories hemoglobinopathy . In first category , abnormal globin chains give rise molecules . second category , normal chains produced but amounts . An example first category disorder sickle cell anemia , inherited condition characterized by curved ( sickle - shaped ) red cells chronic hemolytic anemia Disorders category called thalassemias , which further divided into types according amino acid chain affected ( alpha beta ) , whether there one defective gene thalassemia minor ) defective genes ( thalassemia major ) . Preparation This test requires sample . patient not required fasting state ( nothing eat drink for period hours before test ) . Risks Risks this test minimal , but include slight bleeding from blood - drawing site , fainting feeling lightheaded venipuncture , hematoma ( blood accumulating under puncture site ) . Normal results Reference values vary laboratory laboratory generally within following ranges : six months adult : up 2 % total ewborn six months : up 75 % total Key terms Anemia A disorder characterized by reduced level oxygen - carrying pigment blood . Hemolytic anemia A form anemia caused premature destruction cells stream ( a process called hemolysis ) . Hemolytic anemias classified according whether cause problem inside ( in case usually an condition ) , outside ( usually acquired later life ) . Abnormal results Greater than abnormal .

In 1998 , U.S . Food Drug Administration ( FDA ) required food manufacturers add folic enriched bread grain products boost intake help prevent neural tube defects ( NTD ) . Purpose works together with vitamin B 12 C metabolize protein body . It important formation red white blood cells . necessary proper differentiation growth cells development fetus . also used form nucleic DNA RNA . increases appetite stimulates production stomach digestion it aids maintaining healthy liver . A deficiency may lead anemia , which there decreased production red blood cells . This reduces amounts oxygen nutrients that are able get tissues .

High levels homocysteine have been contribute problems with osteoporosis acid , together 6 12 helps break down homocysteine , reverse problems associated elevated levels . Pregnant women have an increased need acid , both themselves their child . necessary proper growth development fetus . Adequate vital prevention several types birth defects particularly NTDs . The neural tube embryo develops into brain , spinal cord , spinal column , skull . If this forms incompletely during first few months pregnancy serious , often fatal , defect results spina bifida or anencephaly . taken from one year month before conception through first four months pregnancy , can reduce NTDs by 50 - 70 % . helps prevent cleft lip and palate Research shows can successfully treat cervical dysplasia , condition diagnosed Pap smear , having abnormal cells cervix . condition considered possible precursor cervical cancer diagnosed an abnormal Pap smear . Daily consumption 1,000 mcg three more has resulted improved cervical upon repeat smears . Studies suggest long - term use supplements lung colon cancer Researchers alcoholics who low levels face greatly possibility developing colon cancer Preparations To correct deficiency , supplements taken addition food . Since functioning interrelated , it generally recommended appropriate dose B - complex place single supplements . The Recommended Dietary Allowances ( RDA ) folate 400 mcg per day adults , 600 per day pregnant women , 500 nursing women . Medicinal dosages up 1,000 - 2,000 prescribed .
