GH values after clonidine stimulation measured by immunofluorometric assay in normal prepubertal children and GH-deficient patients.
OBJECTIVE To establish the cut-off values of GH measured by immunofluorometric assay, a more sensitive and specific assay, in normal prepubertal children and compare their values with those of proven GH-deficient patients. METHODS 30 normal children (20 males) and 26 patients with known causes of GH deficiency were submitted to the clonidine test and their GH values were compared. A powdered ...
متن کاملNormal values of cerebrovascular reserve capacity after stimulation with acetazolamide measured by xenon 133 single-photon emission CT.
PURPOSE To determine whether a standardized stimulation challenge with acetazolamide will be helpful for assessing the vasodilatory capacity in patients with obstructive cerebrovascular disease. METHODS To establish normative data of the cerebrovascular reserve capacity, a group of 41 control patients was investigated. The regional cerebral blood flow was measured quantitatively before and af...
متن کاملNormal Renal Dimensions in Iranian Adults Measured by Ultrasound
Introduction: Correct interpretation of kidney images requires the knowledge of its normal size. This study aimed to establish normal values for kidney length and parenchymal thickness and identify the potential related factors in a group of Iranian adults. Methods: Renal dimensions, including length and parenchymal thickness were measured by sonography in 103 individuals with n...
متن کاملConditions associated with very low values of glycohaemoglobin measured by an HPLC method.
AIMS To identify the causes of very low glycohaemoglobin (GHb) values in a sample of patients with diabetes in southern Brazil using high performance liquid chromatography. METHODS Between August 1996 and December 2001 all samples from patients with diabetes at a university hospital with GHb values below the reference range (4.7-6.0% HbA(1c)) were submitted to cellulose acetate electrophoresi...
متن کاملClonidine-stimulated growth hormone concentrations (cut-off values) measured by immunochemiluminescent assay (ICMA) in children and adolescents with short stature
OBJECTIVES To establish cut-off values for growth hormone concentrations using clonidine as a secretagogue and an immunochemiluminescent assay as the method of measurement and to analyze the response time as well as the influence of gender, nutritional status and pubertal stage. METHODS A total of 225 tests were performed in 3 patient groups, categorized as group 1 (normal), group 2 (idiopath...
