what the risks are blood test, nephelometry, laboratory technique that uses a specialized instrument to quckly, accurately measure igm, igg, iga immunoglobulins, blood sample, blood is drawn, a vein on the inside, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, restrict blood flow, the vein, veins below the band to fill, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an airtight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, an infant, young child, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, cotton, a bandage applied, puncture site, any continued bleeding, asked, fast, 4 hours, infants, children, test depends on child's age, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain, others feel only a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, test provides a rapid, accurate measurement, the amounts of immunoglobulins m, g, a, immunoglobulin d has no known clinical significance, ige must be measured by more sensitive techniques radioimmunoassay, enzyme-linked immunoassay, igg, 560 to 1800 mg/dl, igm, 45 to 250 mg/dl, iga, 100 to 400 mg/dl, increased levels of igg, indicate the following, chronic infection, hyperimmunization, igg multiple myeloma, liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, decreased levels of igg, indicate the following, agammaglobulinemia, amyloidosis, leukemia, preeclampsia, increased levels of igm, indicate the following, infectious mononucleosis, lymphosarcoma, macroglobulinemia, rheumatoid arthritis, decreased levels of igm, indicate the following, agammaglobulinemia, amyloidosis, leukemia, increased levels of iga, indicate the following, chronic infections, involving the gastrointestinal tract, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatic fever, decreased levels of iga, indicate the following, agammaglobulinemia, protein-losing gastroenteropathy, hereditary iga deficiency, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, nephelometry determines the total amount, each immunoglobulin but cannot distinguish monoclonal antibodies, tests immunoelectrophoresis, immunofixation, make these distinctions, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
