| blood pool imaging | Nuclear medicine study using a radionuclide that is confined to the vascular compartment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood porphyrin level | A test which is used to measure red blood cell porphyrin levels. Porphyrins are pigments found in both animal and plant life. This test is useful in evaluating any number of porphyrin disorders (involving the various porphyrins) of red blood cells. Increased levels of coproporphyrins can indicate congenital erythropoietic porphyria or sideroblastic anaemia. Increased protoporphyrins may be seen in infection, thalassaemia, sideroblastic anaemia, iron deficient anaemia, increased erythropoiesis and lead poisoning. Increased uroporphyrins may indicate congenital erythropoietic porphyria or erythropoietic protoporphyria. (27 Sep 1997) |
| blood pressure | <cardiology, physiology> The force that the circulating blood exerts on the walls of the arteries. This measurement is divided into systolic (pressure during contraction of the heart) and diastolic (pressure during relaxation phase). Blood pressure varies with age and sex of the individual. A rough rule of thumb for normal systolic pressure is 100 + Age of individual. In children 2 x (age) + 80 = systolic BP The diastolic pressure should be roughly 2/3 the systolic pressure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| blood pressure determination | Techniques for measuring blood pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood pressure monitoring, ambulatory | Method in which prolonged blood pressure readings are made while the patient undergoes normal daily activities. It allows quantitative analysis of the high blood pressure load over time, can help distinguish between types of hypertension, and can assess the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood pressure monitors | Devices for continuously measuring and displaying the arterial blood pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood pressure, high | High blood pressure (hypertension) is a repeatedly elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg. High blood pressure is also called the silent killer. Chronically high blood pressure can cause blood vessel changes in the back of the eye (retina), thickening of the heart muscle, kidney failure, and brain damage. No specific cause for high blood pressure is found in 95% of patients. High blood pressure is treated with salt restriction, regular aerobic exercise, and medications. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood products | Biopharmaceutical products purified from human blood, such as the blood clotting factor VIII used to treat haemophiliacs. (Recombinant factor VIII is also on the market.) The term also refers to biopharmaceuticals that act on blood or the cells that make blood. These products are often produced by the cells themselves, but in such tiny amounts that extracting them from blood is impractical, and so they are genetically engineered. (14 Nov 1997) |
| blood protein electrophoresis | Electrophoresis applied to blood proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood proteins | The hundreds of different proteins present in blood plasma, including carrier proteins (such as serum albumin, transferrin, and haptoglobins), fibrinogen and other blood coagulation factors, complement components, immunoglobulins, enzyme inhibitors, precursors of substances such as the angiotensins and bradykinin, and many other types of proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood puzzles | Foreign bodies or deformed blood cells that may be misinterpreted as infectious agents (e.g., bacteria, fungi) in stained films as a result of similarities in morphology and staining properties. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood relationship | A relationship that share a common bloodline, descent from a common ancestor. (27 Sep 1997) |
| blood relative | A relative of a person sharing some of the sources from which genes are derived. These will include many of the genes that operate in the blood and its constituents but no special importance attaches to the blood as a vehicle of inheritance. Spouses are not ordinarily blood relatives and when they are, the marriage is consanguineous and carries a higher risk than average of progeny homozygous by descent from ancestors in common. Such marriages are discouraged and within certain degrees of kindred may be illegal. Origin: a folk metaphor of breeding (05 Mar 2000) |
| exchange transfusion, whole blood | Repetitive withdrawal of small amounts of blood and replacement with donor blood until a large proportion of the blood volume has been exchanged. Used in treatment of foetal erythroblastosis, hepatic coma, sickle cell anaemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, septicaemia, burns, thrombotic thrombopenic purpura, and fulminant malaria. (12 Dec 1998) |

| faecal occult blood test | <investigation> A chemical test that measures the presence of fresh or decomposed blood. Blood may arise from bleeding anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus. An easy to perform colourmetric test. Occult means hidden. (08 Mar 2000) |
| K blood group | K blood group See Kell blood group, Blood Groups appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kell blood group | <haematology, immunology> Blood type classification based on a group of erythrocyte antigens that is characterised by an antibody called anti-K. Multiple erythrocytic antigens that comprise at least three pairs of alternates and amorphs, determined by one complex gene or possibly several genes at closely linked loci. The system is important in transfusion reactions. Its expression involves the X chromosome. (21 Jun 2000) |
| Kidd blood group | See Blood Groups appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidd blood-group system | A group of antigens consisting principally of jk(a) and jk(b), determined by allelic genes. Amorphs are encountered. Antibodies of these substances are usually weak and quite labile, stimulated by erythrocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fasting blood glucose | <endocrinology, investigation> A method for finding out how much glucose (sugar) is in the blood. The test can show if a person has diabetes. A blood sample is taken in a lab or doctor's office. The test is usually done in the morning before the person has eaten. The normal, nondiabetic range for blood glucose is from 70 to 110 mg/dl, depending on the type of blood being tested. If the level is over 140 mg/dl, it usually means the person has diabetes (except for newborns and some pregnant women). (09 Oct 1997) |
| foetal blood | Blood of the foetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the foetal and maternal blood occurs via the placenta. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels at the time of delivery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laky blood | Blood that is undergoing or has undergone laking. See: lake, laky. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fragility of the blood | The susceptibility, or lack of resistance, of erythrocytes to haemolysis when exposed to increasingly hypotonic saline solutions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Full Blood Count | <haematology, investigation> The determination of the proper number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are present in the patients blood. Acronym: FBC (16 Dec 1997) |
| Lewis blood group | <haematology> A pair of blood group activities associated with the A, B, H substances. Lewis Lea is a separate gene, whereas Leb arises from the combined activity of the enzymes specified by Le(a) and H genes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lewis blood-group system | A group of dominantly and independently inherited antigens associated with the abo blood factors. They are glycolipids present in plasma and secretions that may adhere to the erythrocytes. The phenotype le(b) is the result of the interaction of the le gene le(a) with the genes for the abo blood groups. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Loeffler's blood culture medium | A culture medium consisting of beef blood serum, sheep blood serum, and beef bouillon containing peptone, glucose, and sodium chloride; used for the isolation of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lutheran blood-group system | A complex blood group system having pairs of alternate antigens and amorphic genes, but also subject to a dominant independently segregating repressor. (12 Dec 1998) |
