Red blood cell filtration index (IF)

The red blood cell filtration index measured by the nuclear pore membrane screening method is used to indicate the red blood cell deformability. Under pathological conditions, the red blood cells pass through the filter for a prolonged period of time and the IF value increases. The larger the IF value, the worse the filtration ability of the red blood cells and the lower the deformability. vice versa. Basic Information Specialist classification: cardiovascular examination classification: blood examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Tips: After 8 pm on the day before the medical examination, you should fast, so as not to affect the detection of indicators such as blood glucose in the second sky. Normal value 0.29 ± 0.10. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Under pathological conditions, the red blood cells pass through the filter for a prolonged period of time and the IF value increases. The larger the IF value, the worse the filtration ability of the red blood cells and the lower the deformability. vice versa. The people who need to be examined have people with symptoms of high cold, fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, and bleeding. Precautions First, the precautions before blood draw: 1, do not eat too greasy, high-protein food the day before the blood, to avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. 2. After 8 pm on the day before the physical examination, fasting should be done to avoid affecting the detection of indicators such as blood glucose in the second sky. 3, should relax when taking blood, to avoid the contraction of blood vessels caused by fear, increase the difficulty of blood collection. Patients with a history of fainting should explain in advance and we will make special arrangements. Second, after blood draw should pay attention to: 1. After blood is drawn, local compression is required at the pinhole for 3-5 minutes to stop bleeding. Note: Do not rub, so as not to cause subcutaneous hematoma. 2, the pressing time should be sufficient. There is a difference in clotting time for each person, and some people need a little longer to clotting. Therefore, when the surface of the skin appears to be bleeding, the compression is stopped immediately, and the blood may be infiltrated into the skin due to incomplete hemostasis. Therefore, the compression time is longer to completely stop bleeding. If there is a tendency to bleed, the compression time should be extended. 3, after the blood draw symptoms of fainting such as: dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, etc. should immediately lie down, drink a small amount of syrup, and then undergo a physical examination after the symptoms are relieved. 4. If there is localized congestion, use a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption. Inspection process The examination process: blood is drawn, blood is taken for examination, and venous blood is generally taken, and blood is drawn by a doctor or a nurse. The amount of blood drawn is determined according to the difference of the test content and the number of items. The blood volume is usually 2-20 ml, and the maximum is not more than 50 ml. Then the doctor uses the nuclear pore membrane screening method to check. Not suitable for the crowd Have a coagulopathy such as hemophilia. Adverse reactions and risks Discomfort: There may be pain, swelling, tenderness, and visible subcutaneous ecchymosis at the puncture site.
