serous effusion protein

Serous effusion protein refers to the detection of protein content in the effusion. Basic Information Specialist classification: cardiovascular examination classification: chest and ascites examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Eliminate tension before checking. Normal value Normal people have no fluid. Clinical significance Abnormal result This assay is used to distinguish between leachate and exudate. When the leakage protein is less than 25 g/L, the exudate is more than 30 g/L, and the protein is 25 to 30 g/L, it is difficult to determine the effluent property. 1 Leakage protein content is less than 30g / L, the main component is albumin, globulin content is low, no fibrin. For example, the protein content in the effusion of patients with congestive heart failure is mostly 1 ~ 10g / L; the protein content in the effusion of patients with cirrhosis is 5 ~ 20g / L. 2 exudate protein content is more than 30g / L, composed of albumin, globulin and fibrin. For example, the protein content in effusions of tumor patients is mostly 20-40 g/L; the content of protein in effusions of suppurative bacterial infections and tuberculosis patients is more than 40 g/L. In addition, if the ratio of pleural effusion protein to serum protein is greater than 0.5, it is mostly exudate. 2 serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG), cirrhotic portal hypertensive effusion SAAG greater than 11g / L, non-cirrhotic portal hypertension peritoneal effusion SAAG less than 11g / L. High results may be diseases: heart failure precautions Before the test: Eliminate tension. At the time of examination: cooperate with the doctor to withdraw the serous effusion. Not suitable for the crowd: no. Inspection process Puncture method collects serous effusion and immediately sends it for examination. The detection method has protein quantitative detection. The protein quantification in the effusion is less valuable for the identification of exudate and leachate, and the determination method is consistent with the serum protein determination method. Not suitable for the crowd The people who need to be tested have heart failure, abnormal liver function, and long-term cough. Those without serous effusion or indications should not be tested. Adverse reactions and risks 1. Infection: Pay attention to aseptic operation when puncture, pay attention to local cleaning after puncture, prevent water pollution and avoid infection. 2, bleeding: puncture needle damage to local blood vessels or tissue caused by local bleeding, should try to avoid puncture too deep.
