Popis: | A new non-instrumental method, disposable for T determination (Immunograph-Acculevel, Syva, Palo Alto, USA) in out-patients related to the EMIT method in laboratory is described. 24 patients were studied with the two methods by a little blood arterial sample used also for the gasanalysis (15 M, 9 F: average age 63 (±2.3), range 32–74; 6 with asthma, 8 with chronic bronchitis and 10 with COPD. The linear regression analysis of the samples showed highly significant correlation of results between IMMUNOGRAPH and EMIT (y=0.827+1.874 r≅0.9. This is a rapid, precise, reliable and specific method but expensive. It allows to control the side effects of T therapy. |
