BACKGROUND
In this article, we aimed to determine the diagnostic role of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in the evaluation of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
METHODS
Fifty-five patients with a diagnosis of DVT and 47 healthy subjects as the control group were included in the study. Blood
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of bilateral thrombosis of the internal jugular veins in a patient after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
University-based IVF program.
METHODS
Ovulation induction with gonadotropins, IVF-ET, albumin administration, and therapeutic
BACKGROUND
An increasing number of studies have shown that ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels rise in a number of acute ischaemic conditions such as cerebral infarct, myocardial infarct, pulmonary infarct and mesenteric infarct, suggesting that IMA may be useful as a diagnostic marker. A study
The diagnostic efficiency of 99Tcm-albumin test (AT), a new radionuclide method, was evaluated in 90 consecutive patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) admitted to the medical emergency ward. Phlebography was used as reference method. The sensitivity of the AT test was 92% and the
99mTc-human serum albumin microcolloid (HSAC) was evaluated for diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the legs of 38 consecutive patients. Five and thirty minutes after IV injection, the 99mTc-HSAC activity in both legs was measured by external counting using a collimated NaI (T1)-detector.
Fifty-two patients suspected of having deep vein thrombosis under-went scintigraphy with an indium-111-labeled monoclonal antifibrin antibody. Venography disclosed deep vein thrombosis in 31 patients. With the whole limb considered an anatomic entity, antifibrin antibody scintigrams obtained 2 hours
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the preoperative risk factors of portal venous thrombosis (PVT) after splenectomy and gastric pericardial devascularization in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
METHODS
Clinical data was collected for 127 patients who underwent splenectomy and gastric
OBJECTIVE
Data on risk factors for portomesenteric venous thrombosis (PMVT) following abdominal surgery for ulcerative colitis (UC) are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with PMVT after surgical treatment for UC.
METHODS
Patients who underwent restorative
The occurence of arterial and, more frequently, venous thrombosis in patients with the nephrotic syndrome is well documented. Several factors are involved among which the fall in plasma albumin, the rise of several coagulation factors, platelet hyperreactivity, decrease of antithrombin III. We
Severe thrombocytopenia frequently occurs in patients receiving chemotherapy and in patients with autoimmune disorders. Thrombocytopenia is associated with bleeding, which may be serious and life threatening. Current treatment strategies for thrombocytopenia may require transfusion of allogeneic
In inferior vena cava obstruction, collateral pathways allow the retrograde flow of venous blood from the lower part of the body. Unanticipated findings of Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin (MAA) venography in 3 cases with deep vein thrombosis of the legs and infrarenal inferior vena cava obstruction
OBJECTIVE
Patients with symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) commonly present to the emergency department (ED). The aim of this study was to assess the role of ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) testing in the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
METHODS
This was a
OBJECTIVE
To examine venous thromboembolism (VTE) rates, timing, and risk factors after nonruptured open or endoluminal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.
METHODS
We queried The American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program dataset from 2005 to 2009 for open or
A 46-year old man presented with an eight-day history of edema and was found to be nephrotic, with a plasma albumin level of 1.1 g/dl and urine protein excretion of 13.3 g/24 hrs. The level of plasma creatinine was normal at 1.0 mg/dl. A finding of renal biopsy was consistent with minimal change
