Some studies suggest a vitamin B12 and folate deficiency may cause RLS. Both folate — an essential B vitamin — and B12 are required for proper brain function, and a deficiency in one usually means a deficiency in the other.

TLC, VC, RV, FVC and FEV1 are affected by height, since they are proportional to body size. This means that a tall individual will experience greater decrease in lung volumes as they get older.

Approximately 20% of patients with ARDS have no identified risk factor. ARDS risk factors include direct lung injury (most commonly, aspiration of gastric contents), systemic illnesses, and injuries. The most common risk factor for ARDS is sepsis.

HFrEF, mostly occurs in male patients and is the consequence of cardiomyocyte loss. In contrast, HFpEF is often diagnosed in elderly female patients, who suffer from (a cluster of) non-cardiac comorbidities, such as hypertension, T2DM, stroke, anaemia, pulmonary disease, liver disease, sleep apnoea, gout, and cancer.

Moderately elevated ESR occurs with inflammation but also with anemia, infection, pregnancy, and with aging. A very high ESR usually has an obvious cause, such as a severe infection, marked by an increase in globulins, polymyalgia rheumatica or temporal arteritis.

Risk factors of RHD Risk factors include poverty, overcrowding and reduced access to medical care. Stopping episodes of recurrent ARF can prevent rheumatic heart disease. Once acute rheumatic fever is diagnosed, stopping further episodes of ARF can halt progression of the disease.

Anticoagulant or anti-thrombotic drugs such as Heparin and Low Molecular Weight Heparin will cause the INR to be higher because they are affecting the coagulation cascade directly. The second category includes heparin in the sample, anti-phospholipid antibodies in the sample, and hematocrit.

MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. It's getting attention due to a genetic mutation that may lead to high levels of homocysteine in the blood and low levels of folate and other vitamins.

Blood viscosity (that increases with increasing HCT) is considered as an important determinant for oxygen transport and delivery. Increased number of erythrocytes can enhance platelet adhesion and endothelial deposition and could increase risk of thrombotic complications.

High SWR can reflect enough power back into the radio to create enough heat to cook the final RF transistor. It isn't usually an immediate failure, it takes some time for that heat to build up and do damage.

Very high AST levels can be caused by: Acute viral hepatitis. Damage to the liver from drugs or other toxic substances. A blockage in blood flow to the liver.
