Santo,Carlos Elielton do Espírito; Carvalho,Teresa Maria de Jesus PonteIntroduction: The therapeutic monitoring of lithium, through concentration measurements, is important for individual dose adjustment, as a marker of treatment adherence and to prevent poisoning and side effects. Objectives: Validate and compare two methods - atomic emission and atomic absorption - for the determination of lithium in serum samples. Methodology: Parameters such as specificity, precision, accuracy...
Methemoglobin measure in adult patients with sickle-cell anemia: influence of h...
Laurentino,Marilia Rocha; Carvalho,Teresa Maria de Jesus Ponte; Santos,Talyta Ellen de Jesus dos; Barbosa,Maritza Cavalcante; Santos,Thayna Nogueira dosIntroduction: Hemoglobin S (HbS) is unstable hemoglobin that easily oxidizes, causing methemoglobin (MetHb) increased production in patients with sickle-cell anemia (SCA). Objectives: To determine MetHb levels and the influence of hydroxyurea (HU) therapy on this marker in patients with SCA. Materials and methods: Blood samples from 53 patients with SCA at the steady-state, with and without HU therapy, and 30 h...
