HbA1c: An Important Biomarker in diagnosis and prognosis of diabetes patients

-

  One of the main purposes of laboratory tests is to aid medical reasoning after obtaining the clinical history and performing the physical examination by the laboratory team. To this end, all test execution phases, especially the pre-analytical phase, must be conducted following the technical rigor necessary to ensure patient safety and accurate results, so that the conduction of the patient's prognosis is more assertive. The measurement of HbA1c, when measured in whole blood, by immunoturbidimetric assay, in biochemical equipment from the XL family, such as the XL 200 equipment, plays an important role in the diagnosis of Diabetes. Diabetes is a global endemic with rapidly increasing prevalence in both developing and developed countries. The American Diabetes Association has recommended glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as a possible substitute to fasting blood glucose for diagnosis of diabetes. HbA1c is an important indicator of long-term glycemic control with the ability to refle

Amorphous urates: What they are, diagnosis and treatment

  Amorphous urates are a type of crystal that varies in colour from yellow to black, identified in the urine test. This can arise due to the cooling of the sample during packaging for transport or due to the acidic pH of the urine, with the values ​​being observed equal to or less than 5.5. Examination of abnormal urine elements and sediment (EAS) can be performed manually or automatically. Automated urinalysis devices available on the market are accurate, reproducible, faster and much less labor intensive (walk-away instruments) than standard manual microscopy. It can be run directly at patient-side without any further sample manipulation (e.g. refrigeration, centrifugation etc.). It has the potential to markedly reduce human factor from interpretation by consistently applying the same algorithm to the analysis of every sample. The Erba Laura XL is an automated device that performs three phases that make up the EAS, from the physical and chemical part to the sedimentoscopy/microscopy,

Biochemical liver markers

  Liver function tests (also known as a liver panel) are blood tests that measure different enzymes, proteins, and other substances made by the liver. These tests check the overall health of your liver. Transasia offers a wide menu of test parameters in convenient pack sizes in powder and liquid stable formats as well as system packs for Erba range of fully automated analyzers. The use of serum biochemical tests plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. However, an isolated test provides limited information, which must be evaluated in the context of the patient's history and clinical condition. Biochemical liver tests consist of markers of hepatocellular injury (aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase), liver metabolism tests (bilirubins), and liver synthetic function tests (serum albumin and prothrombin time [PT]).   Hepatic injury markers The liver contains a high concentration of enzymes, some of which are present in serum in very low concentra
