Lymph system Dx & Tx
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Antibody Titer | assay vaule of antibodies present in the body by volumetric means |
| Antinuclear Antibody Titer (ANA) | measures the amount of autoantibody directed against components of cell nuclei |
| Bone Marrow Aspiration/Biopsy | removal of living tissue for microscopic examination fully evaluating hemopoietic actions |
| CD4 cell count | test to measure the amount of HELPER T CELLS present in the blood |
| Coombs Test | test for the presence of antibodies that coat & damage RBCs as a result of several diseases/conditions |
| Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) | enzymes which elevate & can determine damage to the brain or muscle tissue |
| C-reactive protein | a serum lab test to indicate inflammation |
| Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) | technique for detecting specific antigens or antibodies, using enzyme-labeled immunoreactants & a solid phase-binding support such as a test tube |
| HLA-B27 tissue antigen | proteins in the body to help determine self-tissue from foreign tissue |
| Lymphangiogram | an X-ray image of the lymph node or vessels obtained after injection of a contrast medium |
| Schirmer Tear Test | paper stip test to determine if the eyes produce enough tears to keep moist |
| SGOT | an enzyme, also known as AST, a diagnostic aid in viral hepatitis & in myocardial infarction |
| SGPT | an enzyme, also known as ALT, serum concentration is increased in viral hepatitis & MIs |

| Tx: Anticholinesterase Meds | Tx: one of the drugs that inhibit or inactivate acetylcholinesterase, either reversibly or irreversibly |
| Tx: Bone Marrow Transplant | Tx: transplantation of healthy bone marrow from a compatible donor to a diseased recipient to stimulate blood cell production |
| Tx: Immunosuppressive | Tx: prevention or interference with the development of immunologic response; artificially induced by chemical, biologic, or physical agents |
| Tx: Immunotherapy | Tx: use of biologic agents to prevent or treat disease by stimulating the body's own defence mechanisms |
| Tx: Lymphadenectomy | Tx: surgical excision of a lymph node |
| Tx: Lymphadenotomy | Tx: surgical incision into a lymph node |
| Tx: Lymph node dissection | Tx: removal of possible cancer-carrying lymph nodes for pathological exam |
| Tx: Immune Globulin | Tx: one of a class of structurally related proteins commonly called antibodies |
| Tx: Plasmapheresis | Tx: removal of plasma and separation & extraction of specific elements followed by reinfusion |
| Tx: Spleenectomy | Tx: surgical excision of the spleen |
| Tx: Thymectomy | Tx: surgical excision of the thymus |
