β-Thalassemia (β-thal) is caused by mutations on the β-globin genes, causing reduced (β) or absent (β) synthesis of the β chains of hemoglobin (Hb). In this report, a 28-year-old male patient with anemia and jaundice, was diagnosed with triple-heterozygous β-thal [an IVS-II-654 (C>T) mutation, a Hb Zürich-Langstrasse (: c.151A>T) mutation and a Hb G-Siriraj (: c.

- - This study investigates how normalizing clotting times for lupus anticoagulant (LA) tests can improve diagnostic performance and reduce variability across different reagent batches by using various denominators.
- - Results showed that normalization effectively eliminated significant differences between reagent batches and yielded comparable diagnostic efficacy across different reference intervals (RIs), with a specific focus on a more sensitive LA test when normalized.
- - The findings suggest that normalizing test results can minimize the need for new RIs with each reagent batch and demonstrate that day-to-day variations in clotting times do not compromise the effectiveness of normalization methods.
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of using cystatin c-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR-CysC) in assessing the prognosis of hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) patients treated with artificial liver support system (ALSS).
Methods: A total of 364 HBV-ACLF inpatients treated with ALSS at our hospital were enrolled retrospectively in the study. The patients were divided into the survival group ( =269) and non-survival group ( =95) according to mortality within 28 d, and their clinical information and laboratory data were analyzed for assessing short-term prognostic values.
