Biochemical Immunity Project: Serum Amyloid A (SAA)
SAA is an acute phase protein produced by liver cells and secreted into the serum.
CEA clinical test significance and reference values
Carcinoembryonic antigen is a protein that is undetectable in the blood of healthy people. When this protein appears in the blood of adults, it indicates the development of cancer but does not indicate the type of cancer.
Mb clinical test significance and reference values
Mb is an oxygen-binding protein that is widely found in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle, accounting for about 2% of all proteins in muscle.
NT-ProBNP clinical test significance and reference values
The increase in BNP or NT-proBNP in heart failure is related to the degree of heart failure and has unique predictive value for left ventricular dysfunction or mortality from AMI.
Cys-C clinical test significance and reference values
Recent research suggests that elevated cystatin C levels may also indicate an increased risk of heart disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death.
GHb or HbA1C clinical test significance and reference values
HPLC method: HbA1c (%) 5.0%~8.0% Affinity chromatography: Adult glycosylated hemoglobin: 5.0%~8.0% Immunoturbidimetric method HbA1c: IFCC calculation scheme: 2.8%~3.8% DCCT/NGSP calculation scheme : 4.8%~6.0% Enzymatic method: Adult HbA1c: 3.6%~6.0%
SAA clinical test significance and reference values
It is an acute-phase protein that is synthesized in the liver and binds to plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL). It is similar to CRP and is used to evaluate the process of acute-phase reactions.
CRP clinical test significance and reference values
CRP is an acute-phase protein whose serum or plasma levels are increased during routine, nonspecific responses to infectious and non-infectious inflammatory effects such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease.
PCT clinical test significance and reference values
1. The plasma PCT mass concentration of healthy people is less than 0.05ng/ml. 2. The plasma PCT mass concentration of the elderly, patients with chronic diseases, and less than 10% of healthy people is higher than 0.05ng/ml, up to 0.1ng/ml, but generally not more than 0.3ng/ml.
Progesterone clinical test significance
Progesterone is a steroid hormone that works with several other female hormones to prepare the female body for pregnancy.
