inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor

IαTI, formerly known as protein π, is a glycoprotein composed of a single polypeptide chain. It is unstable in nature and can be cleaved into two nodules by leukocyte elastase, one of which inhibits trypsin, chymotrypsin and other proteases. Electrophoresis is located in the alpha 2 globulin region. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: In patients with inflammation and malignant tumors, serum IαTI levels are reduced due to increased catabolism; chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis tend to decrease. Normal value: Inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor: 200-700mg/L Above normal: Rare. negative: Positive: Tips: Before the test: first check whether it is lipemia or hemolysis, lipemia, hemolysis affect the measurement results. Normal value Immunodiffusion Serum 200 ~ 700mg / L, the average value of 550mg / L. Clinical significance Abnormal result In patients with inflammation and malignant tumors, serum IαTI levels are reduced due to increased catabolism; chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis tend to decrease. People who need to be tested People with abnormal liver function. Low results may be diseases: hepatitis, malignant tumors Before the test: first check whether it is lipemia or hemolysis, lipemia, hemolysis affect the measurement results. During the examination: should relax, avoid the contraction of blood vessels caused by fear, and increase the difficulty of blood collection. Not suitable for the crowd: no. Inspection process The subject's blood is drawn and detected by immunodiffusion. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
