Leukocyte formula

Generality The leukocyte formula is a blood test that quantifies the number of white blood cells in a cubic millimeter of blood, also expressing the quantitative and percentage ratio of the various types of white blood cells . White blood cells - also known as leukocytes (hence the term leukocyte formula) or WBC ( White Blood Cells ) - are the defense cells of our body

Cholinesterase - Pseudocolinesterase in the Blood

Generality Cholinesterase is an enzyme that hydrolyses acetylcholine and other choline esters. Its serum concentration increases in various diseases, including acute and chronic liver diseases, diabetes, hyperthyroidism and nephrotic syndrome. A decrease in blood levels of cholinesterase can be had, instead, in case of acute infections, myocardial infarction and hepatopathies

Volume weight conversions (from mg / dL to mcg / ml and the like)

Online calculator The following module operates weight / volume conversions from one unit of measurement to another. For example, it allows to express a specific value from grams / liter to milligrams / dL. Continuing the reading of the article you will discover the theoretical basis for performing this type of calculation without the need for an electronic calculator

Creatinine

What creatinine is and what it is used for Why and how it is measured Creatinine clearance Reference values ​​Creatinine as a lean mass index Creatininemia Creatinine and Creatininemia Since the one just described is a fairly laborious procedure, in many cases we prefer to use an indirect method, which allows us to estimate the extent of glomerular filtration based on some simple parameters: age, sex, weight and creatininemia.

Creatinine - Clearance and Creatininemia

Generality Creatinine is the result of the degradation of creatine phosphate (or phosphocreatine). In the human body, phosphocreatine is found mainly in skeletal muscle and in the heart; for these tissues, creatine is an immediately usable energy source. Once produced, creatinine is released into the blood

High Creatine - Creatine values ​​in Blood and Urine

What is Creatine? Creatine is an amino acid naturally present in the human body, where it is concentrated within the skeletal muscles; at this level we find in fact 95% of the approximately 120 grams overall contained in a medium-sized adult organism. Within the muscles, creatine has an important energy function, intervening in violent and short-lived physical efforts, such as lifting a heavy load from the ground, or a sudden sprint to chase the bus
