CD163 might not be the most exciting name in the world, but behind it lies one of the body's most important defense receptors ...

Initial laboratory tests typically reveal anaemia and signs of RBC destruction (elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase, low haptoglobin, and increased reticulocyte counts). The key diagnostic ...

The lactate dehydrogenase level was greater than 2500 U per liter (reference range, 110 to 210), the ferritin level 24,325 μg per liter (reference range, 10 to 200), and the haptoglobin level 91 ...

Laboratory investigations showed increased reticulocyte count (163,500/μL), elevated conjugated bilirubin (1.8 mg/dL), raised lactate dehydrogenase (1674 U/L), and decreased haptoglobin. A repeat ...

Folate had been low in the past, but at the time of referral measured 3.6 μg/L (3.1–20.5 μg/L). The haemolysis screen was positive: haptoglobin <0.08 g/L (0.40–1.60 g/L) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH ...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a critical neurological condition accounting for about 5% of all strokes, and survivors experience long-term cognitive deterioration and increased risk of dementia. The ...
