Hyperbilirubinemia in anicteric blood?
Plasma total bilirubin for a 65-year-old man was high [19.1 mg/dL (326 mol/L)] on a Roche cobas 6000 analyzer. However, the specimen was anicteric and the icteric index was 1 (approximately 1 mg/dL or 17 mol/L). A dilution study demonstrated nonlinear results. Direct bilirubin was measured as normal. The split specimen aliquots were further measured on analyzers from 5 different manufacturers (...
متن کاملRisk of anicteric hepatitis following blood transfusion.
Serum hepatitis can be a serious complication ofblood transfusion, and it is possible that even mild attacks may lead to cirrhosis, although evidence for this is scanty. The incidence of icteric hepatitis following blood transfusion was found to be 0-8% in Liverpool by Lehane, Kwantes, Upward, and Thomson (1949), but in other countries higher figures have been obtained. For example, Katz, Ducci...
متن کاملBilirubin dosage in cord blood: could it predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?
CONTEXT With early discharge, many newborns have to be readmitted to hospital for hyperbilirubinemia to be treated, and this has been held responsible for the reappearance of kernicterus. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether bilirubin levels in cord blood could predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia that would require treatment, in full-term newborns up to their third day of life. TYPE OF STUDY Prosp...
متن کاملNeonatal hyperbilirubinemia due to ABO incompatibility: does blood group matter?
Newborn infants with maternal-fetal ABO incompatibility are at a greater risk for developing subsequent significant hyperbilirubinemia, and therefore, prediction of probable risk factors, such as the degree of hemolysis, gains importance. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of fetal-neonatal blood group on the severity of hemolysis and jaundice due to maternal-fetal ABO incompatibili...
متن کاملCord blood α -fetoprotein as a predictive index for indirect hyperbilirubinemia in term neonates
Background: Prediction of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is very important for early treatment and prophylaxis of neurologic sequels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive role of umbilical cord ^5-fetoprotein (UCAFP) as a marker of an increased risk for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in full term babies. Methods: Umbilical cord blood was collected from 400 term singleton full t...
