World Hemophilia Day
Every year on April 17, World Hemophilia Day is celebrated at the initiative of the World Health Organization and the World Federation of Hemophilia. 📍The goal of all events on this day is to draw attention and raise awareness of this hereditary disease associated with a violation of the blood clotting process.
WHAT CAN VITAMIN D TELL YOU ABOUT?
💡Only 41% of Ukrainians have a normal level of vitamin D. This is due to the fact that 80-100% of vitamin D is synthesized by our skin under the influence of sunlight and only a small amount of it enters the body with food. ☀️ In conditions of insufficient exposure to the sun or low lighting, even the richest diet will not be able to fully meet the need for vitamin D. 📍Vitamin D deficiency is dangerous due to impaired calcium-phosphorus metabolism and the risk of developing rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. ❗️Factors that affect the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin: 🔹 A small number of sunny days - from October to March; 🔹 Intense skin pigmentation; 🔹 Advanced age; 🔹 Prolonged stay indoors; 🔹 Concomitant diseases. ❗️ Medi Lab+ medical laboratory recommends a 25OH Vitamin D total (D2+D3) test to determine the level of vitamin D in the body. 👉 The therapeutic or prophylactic dose of vitamin D should be determined individually to prevent side effects. Your doctor will select the right regimen...
Interleukin-6 in COVID-19
💡Scientists have studied that in severe SARS-CoV-2, the disease proceeds in two stages: Stage I - the immune system responds to the virus quickly and effectively; Stage II - its reaction becomes aggressive, which, in turn, leads to the production of an excessive amount of cytokines. 📍As a result, complications of the respiratory system arise: pneumonia, distress syndrome, respiratory failure. 🔴“Cytokine storm” is a phenomenon when the immune system produces an excessive number of immune cells that secrete proteins - messengers, known as cytokines. It is this excess of cytokines that can lead to lung inflammation. Analysis for interleukin-6 makes it possible to assess the patient's condition in severe cases of the disease, as the anti-inflammatory cytokine has an effect on the organs and systems of the body. 🔴“Cytokine storms” are observed in various viral and bacterial infections (hepatitis, HIV, COVID-19), as well as in patients receiving certain treatments – CAR-T (for example), used to attack cancer cells.
Interleukin-6
📍 IL-6 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that affects the body as a whole, increases inflammatory processes and contributes to the exacerbation of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as disrupts the functioning of the liver, immune and endocrine systems, and metabolism. It is a marker of acute systemic inflammation. 🚨 IL-6 is synthesized by: - activated monocytes/macrophages; - fibroblasts; - endothelial cells during inflammation, trauma, hypoxia, bacterial infections. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 is produced rapidly, increases during acute inflammatory reactions associated with damage, trauma, stress, infection, and other pathological conditions. The concentration of IL-6 in patients with injuries can serve as precursors of late complications of surgical treatment or a marker of undiagnosed injuries or complications. Consecutive measurements of interleukin-6 in serum or plasma of patients admitted to the intensive care unit and intensive care unit. Successfully used to assess the severity of SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome), sepsis and septic shock, as well as to predict clinical outcome in such patients. ❗️Depending on the results of this...
Impact of COVID-19 on glucose levels
In 🦠COVID-19, the virus acts on cells that produce insulin, changing their secretion. As a result, the cells do not receive glucose - they "starve". Under such conditions, the virus multiplies rapidly and aggravates any infectious process➡️ COVID-19 needs energy (glucose). Oxygen kills COVID-19, but it "feeds" on glucose, which it takes from the heart, liver, and muscles. There are no age restrictions on increasing blood glucose levels, so the most common diagnostic method is to determine the glucose content in the morning blood serum "on an empty stomach". 💡Deadline: 🔴 Mon-Fri: Sampling 7.00-10.00 - glucose result an hour after the test. Sampling 10.00-15.00 - result an hour after the test. 🔴 Sat: Sampling 8.00-12.00 - result at 13.00-14.00.
It all starts with your own example.
Do not forget when leaving home that following basic safety rules can protect you and your family from infection and contamination with pathogens that cause diseases! ❌ avoid crowded places; ‼️keep your distance; 🧲wash your hands with soap often; 🚨use antiseptic hand sanitizers; 🍎monitor your diet; ☎️at the slightest sign of illness, stay home, call your family doctor. 🔊The Medi Lab+ laboratory conducts laboratory diagnostics using modern, updated European equipment, which ensures high quality tests. This allows the doctor to know which pathogen he is dealing with and to start treatment in a timely and effective manner.
List of laboratory tests
This list of laboratory tests is necessary for: - Assessment of immunity against COVID-19; - Confirmation of the fact of having had coronavirus disease; - Monitoring indicators during and after treatment for COVID-19. With care for you and your family, Medi Lab+❤️
Ig antibodies to COVID-19 S protein
This study allows you to: - assess the level of immune protection after vaccination; - learn about the presence of an immune response that could have formed naturally. Unlike other studies on Ig antibodies to the S-protein, neutralizing antibodies to COVID-19 show the presence of protective properties of the immune response in the body. ❗️Preparation: The material is taken on an empty stomach (do not eat anything); drinking water is allowed. ⏳Deadline:⏳ Collection 7:00-12:00 - results are issued: 16:00-16:30 Collection 12:00-15:00 - results are issued: 19:30-20:00.
Complete urinalysis (CUR)
Duration of execution: 1 working day. It is necessary to collect the first urine of the night immediately into a sterile disposable container with a capacity of 20 ml. Make sure that the container is tightly closed. The collected material should be delivered to the “Medi Lab+” laboratory no later than two hours after collection. ‼️Urine analysis according to Nechyporenko‼️ ⏳ Duration of execution: 1 working day. An average portion of morning urine (5-10 ml) is collected into a sterile disposable container, immediately after sleep, after which the container is tightly closed with a lid and delivered to the laboratory no later than two hours after collection of the material. With the help of this analysis, the following indicators can be determined: -Specific gravity -Protein -Leukocytes -Erythrocytes -Cylinders ‼️‼️‼️ATTENTION! Do not forget to inquire in advance about the work schedule and reception of this study in the “Medi Lab+” laboratory.
