what is nvp in blood tests?
351407
I am not aware of a naturally occurring, testable blood level called NVP.  I thought there might be a drug named NVP...and then a blood test to determine the body's level of the same medication after administration.  I searched the web for NVP and only found Nevirapine.  Nevirapine ( ne-VYE-ra-peen) is used, with other medicines, in the treatment of the infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).\n\nI hope this helps!

Blood tests are looking for antibodies to HIV.\nPCR or P24 antigen tests are looking for the virus itself.

HIV is a blood test. Chlamydia, gonorrhea are swabs put on specific medias ( the cervix is swabbed) The penis is internally swabbed. Syphyllis is a blood test.Herpes can sometimes be visualized or a blood test given. Pubic lice can be visualized under a microcope with simple skin scrapping of area.The total cost can be very high. Some cities have "free clinics" that are cheaper. Planned Parenthood has resources to give you for better prices. A PAP test is a scraping of cervical cells on a female to check for cancer not an STD.Good luck.

It varies.\n\nSometimes it is A positive,\n\nSometimes it is O positive.\n\nYes, I know it cannot happen, but that is how the test results come back.\n\nOh, and the red blood cells are being eaten by the white blood cells.

When doing certain spectrophotometric assays, you can determine that proteins have a maximal absorbance at 260 nm, while DNA has a maximal absorbance at 280 nm (I just can't remember which assay it is...Biuret maybe?). \n\nAnyway point is...if the ratio of 260/280 is much greater than 1, you probably have DNA. If the ratio of 260/280 is much less than 1, you probably have RNA. If it is about 1, you probably have both.

Go and have a bloodtest ( chemists do it for free in the UK )\nyou might be diabetic !

its a substance in the blood that keeps it from loosening or flowing continuously.

This depends on what kind of test you are taking.\n\nHIV antibody tests looks for antibodies in your system that develop as a reaction against the HIV virus. These antibodies can be found anywhere in the body - usually the tester will scrape the inside of your cheek to get a sample.\n\nP24 tests look for a substance called P24 in the bloodstream. P24 is a protein that shows up in mass quantities when you are infected with HIV. \n\nI'm not sure what you mean by "nonresponsive" but it sounds better than "positive." Whoever administered the test should be able to interpret the results for you.

This test is most often performed when kidney disease is suspected. It may be used as a screening test.\n\nNormally, protein is not found in urine when a routine dipstick test is performed. This is because the kidney is supposed to keep large molecules, such as protein, in the blood and only filter out smaller impurities. Even if small amounts of protein do get through, they are normally re-absorbed by the body and used as a source of energy.\n\nSome proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly.\n\nIf the kidney is diseased, protein will appear in the urine -- even if the blood levels are normalNormal Values:\n\n\nFor a spot check by dipstick: the normal values are approximately 0 to 8 mg/dl. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.\nFor a 24-hour test: the normal value is less than 150mg per 24 hours.\nNote: mg/dl = milligrams per deciliter\n\nWhat abnormal results mean:\nAbnormal results may mean an increase in urine protein, and this may indicate: \n\nAmyloidosis\nBacterial pyelonephritis\nBladder tumor\nCongestive heart failure (inadequately perfusing the kidneys)\nDiabetic nephropathy\nGlomerulonephritis\nGoodpasture's syndrome\nHeavy metal poisoning\nLupus erythematosus\nMalignant hypertension\nMultiple myeloma\nNephrotic syndrome\nNephrotoxic drug therapy\nPolycystic kidney disease\nPreeclampsia\nAdditional conditions under which the test may be performed: \nAcute nephritic syndrome\nComplicated UTI (pyelonephritis)\nEclampsia\nHemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)\nInterstitial nephritis\nMedullary cystic disease\nMembranoproliferative GN I\nMembranoproliferative GN II\nMembranous nephropathy\nNecrotizing vasculitis\nPost-streptococcal GN\nRapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritis\nReflux nephropathy\nRenal vein thrombosis\nRocky mountain spotted fever

CNV is an event related brain potential that presents in an electroencephelogram which is considered an accurate and objective neuropsychological indicator of psychological functioning. The magnitude of response is considered a positive monotonic realtionship in arousal.\n\nFor more information, try the Garfield Library from UPENN.

im a medical assistant at a drug testing facility. we have to tell people that the test in inconclusive or "non-negative" because we cant tell you that its positive. more than likely it will be if they sent it to the lab though. some medications, however, do show up (pain med, etc.). if it were diluted (too much water) it would have showed negative on a quick screen. (those only show neg or positive). e-mail me if you want to.

No, it can indicate renal failure, though. Albumin is one of the smallest proteins, and will be the first lost if there is kidney hypertension, or nephritis.\nA biopsy is where they stick a needle in your kidney to get a sample of it to look at it under a microscope. There are other kidney function tests they would do before a biopsy, including other biochemical tests, ultrasound, etc.

Sequential blood samples were evaluated from 3 subjects with AHIV (negative HIV EIA, positive HIV RNA), identified 2-3 days before peak viremia (pre-peak). HIV RNA levels and CD4 counts before antiretroviral therapy were used to estimate HIV doubling time (t(d)) and, the basic reproductive number (R(0)). HIV t(d) was calculated from the slope of ln(RNA) vs. time during rising viremia. Maximal estimates of t(d) were 1.6-3.5 days.\nhttp://www.aegis.com/conferences/croi/1998/521.html

A reactive VDRL test means that you have syphilis.  If possible, ask your health care provider about the titration of your sample.  They should be able to tell you if you are weakly reactive or strongly reactive.  Sometimes people show up as weakly reactive if they've tested positive for it and have already taken the medicine.  Talk to your health care provider.
