4. intro to Dx methods Flashcards
common puncture sites
venous blood
basilic, cephalic, median
venous blood
plasma
serum
whole blood
RBC
capillary blood
glucose
arterial blood
blood gas
plasma vs serum
plasma: fibrinogen is present, anticoag needed, used as son as mixed thoroughly, formed elements RBCsm water proteins glucoese
serum: fibrinogen absent , 30 min delay for clot formation, anticoag not needed, more stable, gold standard for biomarking
PPV
likelihood of true positives
predicative values are influenced by prevalence of disease
NPV
likelihood negative tests identifies someone without disease
sensitivity
persons with disease who test positive w disease (detect disease)
specificity
ability to detect absense of disease
causes of “off” lab values
age race stress transdusions excercise
latex aggunulation
goal: detect presence of compount in pt specimen that visably clumps latex particles
moleculue of interest -> combine w latext beads -> antibody on beads bind molecules of interest
latex beads clump - pos, molecule is present
latex beads fail to clump- neg, mol is absent
aggulination inhibition
aggulination is inhibited is substance being tested is present
hemagglutination
hemagglutination is RBCs!!!
electropharesis
identify dense bands of proteins like multiple myeloma not present in healthy individ
western blot
identify specific proteins
spearated by molec weight
results transferred to specific membrane and thn membrane is incubated with antibiotics specif to protein of interest
dont to confirm HIV positive ELISA test
