DETERMINATION OF INFLAMMATION COEFFICIENT OF INDIVIDUAL BASED ON WHOLE BLOOD FIBRINOGEN AND HEMATOCRIT OR HEMOGLOBIN MEASURED VALUE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine the presence of an inflammation condition simply and speedily without being affected by a factor unrelated to the presence of inflammation by solving a specific equation by using fibrinogen content in whole blood sample of an object of which quantity is determined and hematocrit value. ;SOLUTION: A fibrinogen amount in a sample of anticoagulant whole blood of a Mammalia animal donor is measured to measure a hematocrit value concerning the blood sample. An equation which determines inflammation coefficient I of the donor, I=a(f)+b(n)+c (f and n represent fibrinogen amount and hematocrit value in the blood sample, respectively, and a, b, c represent constants induced based on experiences), is solved by using two variables to calculate a numerical value I which shows a degree of whole body inflammation. The results of this calculation can be quantity determined speedily from WSER in correspondence to the results of the numerical value of WSER, and required blood amount is 1/10 of WSER. Furthermore, the results of this calculation are not affected by the whole body abnormality which makes WSER incorrect.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1996,JPO
