Precipitation and agglutination are unlabeled immunoassays. These assay methods produce a visible expression of the aggregation of antigens and antibodies.

AIDS is the best-known immunodeficiency. Patients with AIDS exhibit some of the most severe manifestations of cell-mediated immunity.

Pretransfusion testing is the use of serologic principles and tests to ensure compatibility and prevent an IMHTRs

Enzymes catalyze physiologic reactions by lowering the activation energy level that the reactants (substrates) must reach for the reaction to occur.

Clinically significant enzymes are: (Oxidoreductases, Transferases, Hydrolases, Lyases, Isomerases, Ligases.

An acid is a substance that can donate hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water. A base is a substance that can accept hydrogen ions. pH of a solution is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion conc.

Amniotic fluid is the liquid medium that bathes a fetus throughout its gestation. Amniotic fluid protects the fetus while enabling fetal movement and plays an important role in numerous biochemical processes. Fetal cells and many biochemical compounds, such as electrolytes, nitrogenous compounds, proteins, enzymes, lipids, and hormones, are present in the amniotic fluid.

Seminal fluid, or semen, is a complex body fluid used to transport sperm or spermatozoa. It is analyzed routinely to evaluate infertility and to follow up after a vasectomy to ensure its effectiveness. Other reasons for analysis include the evaluation of semen quality for donation purposes and forensic applications (e.g., DNA analysis, detection of semen).

Arthritis and other joint diseases are common, and synovial fluid analysis assists in the diagnosis and classification into one of four categories: noninflammatory, inflammatory, septic, or hemorrhagic. 

Normally, serous fluids do not contain blood or fibrinogen, but a traumatic puncture or hemorrhage can result in bloody and clotted fluid

CSF bathes the brain and spinal cord, protects and supports the brain and spinal cord and provides a medium for the transport and exchange of nutrients and metabolic wastes.

Examination of feces provides important information that aids in the differential diagnosis of various gastrointestinal tract disorders, which range from maldigestion and malabsorption to bleeding or infestation by bacteria, viruses, or parasites; hepatic, biliary conditions as well as pancreatic diseases that cause insufficient digestive enzymes.

This CPD Final test is intended to assess CPD courses taker for their eligibility to obtain CPD points which enable them to renew their practicing licenses. The CPD course package is tailored according to the current and acceptable standards of Laboratory practice. Apart from text lessons prepared for you, you will also benefit from recorded lectures just next to each text content to make sure that you understand the concepts not just with reading but also with listening to and taking notes of explanations provided. Questions undertaken are prepared from the course content and you need to read the whole content to be able to pass the set questions. Let's together improve and strengthen Laboratory practices in our country for the safety of our patients. Good luck.
