Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: liver function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Reduced in cirrhosis with ascites and other serious liver damage (such as acute liver necrosis, toxic hepatitis, etc.), malnutrition, chronic wasting disease, diabetes, severe bleeding, nephrotic syndrome. Normal value: Newborn: 28-44g/L After 14 years old: 38-54g/L Adult: 35-50g/L After 60 years old: 34-48g/L Above normal: The increase is mainly due to the relative increase in blood concentration, such as severe dehydration and shock, severe burns, acute bleeding, and chronic adrenal insufficiency. negative: Positive: Tips: When you take blood, you should relax your mind, avoid the contraction of blood vessels caused by fear, and increase the difficulty of blood collection.

The increase is mainly due to the relative increase of blood concentration, such as severe dehydration and shock, severe burns, acute bleeding, and chronic adrenal insufficiency. 2, reduced in cirrhosis with ascites and other serious liver damage (such as acute liver necrosis, toxic hepatitis, etc.), malnutrition, chronic wasting disease, diabetes, severe bleeding, nephrotic syndrome. When it is reduced to below 25g/L, it is easy to produce ascites. Low results may be diseases: hypocalcemia considerations 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 medical examination, you should fast, so as not to affect the test. Second, should pay attention after blood draw 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 blood of the subject is withdrawn and detected by chemical or immunoturbidimetric or dry chemical methods. Not suitable for the crowd Generally there are no special taboos. Adverse reactions and risks 1. It may cause certain damage to the blood vessels. 2, blood draw has the risk of infection.
