RADIOMETER PRESENTATION 28/11/2018 RADIOMETER PRESENTATION AQT90 FLEX parameters Infection marker CRP Hemostasis marker D-dimer Pregnancy marker ßhCG Cardiac markers Myoglobin CKMB Troponin I NT-proBNP Troponin T Cardiac markers: Are all proteins. When a cardiac muscle cell dies, the content inside the cell (cardiac markers etc.) is released into the blood stream where we can measure them. Guideline: 30 minutes after arrival to the hospital, the diagnose AMI have to be established and treatment initialized (of course, if the patient suffers from a heart attack). Time = muscle. From Central lab it can easily take 2 hours before the doctor receive the answer of an acute blood sample. There might be many acute tests in central lab and the central lab staff don’t know which sample is the most acute. AQT90 FLEX can give the answer within 18 minutes which match the guidelines perfectly. Why do we have 3 parameters that all tell about AMI? Because they have a different “increase and decrease pattern” after an AMI. Myoglobin is the first parameter to reach the blood stream, but it’s not so specific. TnI is a late marker and it takes 4-6 hours before we can measure it in the blood after an AMI. But TnI is a very heart specific marker. So to be able to establish a fast and correct diagnose, it’s an advantage to have more than one marker. TnI is seen as the best marker of AMI due to the high specificity. Infection marker: One of the most frequent tests in the hospital. If you know the body temperature of the patient and the CRP level, you have a good indication of the patient’s condition. You can use CRP to distinguish between viral and bacterial infection. If you have a patient with fever and low CRP it’s probably a viral infection whereas if you have fever and high CRP it’s most likely a bacterial infection. D-dimer: All persons will always have some D-dimer in the blood. Every time we hurt ourselves and get a small bruises, the body will build a small blot clot to stop the bleeding. When this blood clot is broken down again, D-dimer will be a part of this breakdown process. That means that we only find D-dimer if there has been a blood clot. That’s also why we can use D-dimer to rule out diseases caused by excessive clotting. Negative D-dimer = rule out diseases due to excessive clotting. hCG: A hormone that supports pregnancy in the early weeks of pregnancy. hCG is responsible for the nausea that many women discover during pregnancy! Many women are admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain. Just from looking at the woman, it can be very difficult for the doctor to tell what’s wrong. If hCG is negative, it rules out ectopic pregnancy. If we have a unconscious woman after e.g. trauma, it’s extremely important that we find out if she’s pregnant so we can treat her with the right medicine, x-ray etc. By having all the parameters it’s possible to rule out many dangerous diseases and conditions and the doctor can confirm the first diagnose that maybe was establish before the answers from the blood sample was ready.

The AQT Measuring Cup & Technology Suzanne gave us an informative presentation on what makes a good or poor immunoassay We learned that testing for Tr is most difficult because of small quantities that present in the typical sample and the need for the test to be highly sensitive and specific. We also now know that the recent AQT linearity test results are very, very good. But you may ask where does the actual test take place and how does it actually work? Show the measuring cup! It is assumed that you have all completed your pre learner training and that you have at least the basic knowledge of immunochemistry? Lets look at the details of the measuring cup in the next slide NEXT SLIDE 28/11/2018 RADIOMETER A/S RADIOMETER PRESENTATION 28-11-2018
