التحليل الي تاعب الناس كلها ومعظم نتايج lab to lab فيه مش مظبوطه !! الحل بسيط اعمله ف معملك وريح دماغك مفيش اسهل منه وهقلك ف البوست دا ازاي ..
……………………………………
Albumin / Creatinine ratio ( ACR )
……………………………………
Albumin in urine = Micro albuminuria >> (( random urine sample )
بالنسبه للالبيومين ف اليورن فاحنا بنستخدم كيت خاص بيها علشان هنا محتاجين نقيس اقل كميه من الالبيومين ف اليورن والنتيجه هتطلع بوحده

mg/L

نقسم النتيجه على 10 علشان احولها الى

mg/dl

بالنسبه للكريات ف بنستخدم الكيت العادى بتاع الدم والوحدة ال هتطع

mg/dl

هنستخدم نفسه طريقه الدم ولكن النتيجه هتطلع عاليه اوي كدة مش هتنفع ف نقوم بتخفيف اليورن 50 مرة مع مراعاه ضرب النتيجه ف معامل التخفيف ثم نقوم بقسمه النتيجه على 1000 لتحويلها من

mg/dl to gm/dl

علاشان ف الاخر نحصل على

ACR= ALb( mg) /Creat(gm)

ملحوظه الوحدات لو شيلناها مش هتفرق فلازم تعمل حسابك ع دة العمليه كلها تثبيت وحدات ليس الا ولاكن النورمال هيختلف .

Normal range: Less than 30 mg/g
Microalbuminuria :30-300 mg/g
Macroalbuminuria: More than 300 mg/g

You always listen to your mother, understand? Do what she tells you to do. She's your best friend. Tell her you love her every day. You're too young for girls right now but there's gonna come a time, and when it does, you treat them like princesses, because that's what they are. When you say you're gonna do something, you do it. Because your word is your bond, son, that's all you have. And money, you make money if you get a chance. Even if you gotta sell out every once in a while, you make as much money as you can. Don't be stupid like your father, everything is so much easier with money, son. Don't smoke. Be kind to people. If somebody chooses you, you stand up, you be a man. And you stay away from the bad things, son. Please, don't be caught up in the bad things, there are so many great things out there for you. I'll never leave you.

PUNCTUATION NOTES

1️⃣ Quoted material is usually set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma. When the comma comes at the end of quoted material, it is included inside the quotation marks. The same is true for a period, exclamation point, or question mark that ends quoted material:

Incorrect. “Watching golf”, complained Rosie, “is like watching grass grow”.
Correct ‘Watching golf,” complained Rosie, “is like watching grass grow.”


Incorrect “Aren’t you ready yet”? Dad yelled. “Hurry up, or we're leaving without you"!
Correct “‘Aren’t you ready yet?” Dad yelled. ““Hurry up, or we're leaving without you!”


2️⃣ Notice, too, that a quoted sentence begins with a capital letter, even when it is preceded by other words:

Incorrect The diner asked suspiciously, “is this fish fresh?”
Correct The diner asked suspiciously, “Is this fish fresh?”
