9648 tn?1290091207 re part of a study, you might be able to settle any argument with your dr by getting her to run a plasma HPLC assay - ultimately that's the factor that correlates with outcome: "Prediction of sustained virological response by ribavirin plasma concentration at week 4 of therapy in hepatitis C virus genotype 1 patients." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.

Avatar n tn was 5 points high, good cholest was 5 points low. Bun/creatine ratio was a little low, but the numbers themselves were avg. HPLC was 5.7 (5.6% was the top range for normal). Bacteria was classified as rare. Since then, I've had a few good days in terms of bowel movements, but experience discomfort (not pain really) below the ribs (upper middle) on both sides (sometimes more on the left side), lower back, and mid-back (though i think the mid-back is from lifting my daughter).
Avatar m tn This paper btw seems very consistent with other similar studies, including those that show serum riba levels (via HPLC testing) help deterimine both RVR and SVR. Unfortunately HPLC testing for serum riba levels is not available except in trial situations, but if it were, then one could reasonably pre-dose and keep increasing the riba dose until a set serum riba level was met.
Avatar f tn These 35 patients had urinary free cortisol determined by both HPLC and competitive binding methods. The efficacy of the HPLC assay using cortisol alone was equivalent to that of the competitive binding assay; 22 of 29 (76%) patients had increased cortisol. Cortisone also aided in the diagnosis; 25 of 29 (86%) had increased cortisone. Twenty-seven of the 29 (93%) patients had either both cortisone and cortisol (n = 19) or at least 1 of the 2 (n = 8) increased.
Avatar f tn Hi Swish, Welcome to MedHelp's Pain Management Forum. I'm glad you found us and posted your question here. As usual our Remar has offered some good information. UDT (urinary Drug Test) is a chemical science - either well or poorly understood by PMP. Chemistry was never my strong suit - and that's what UDTs are all about. It depends on the type of UDT your PMP utilized.
Avatar m tn Lindahl mesured riba absorption through HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) testing which is not available in this country, unless perhaps in some research labs. Unfortuantely, very little work here in this area which could potentially have salvaged many, many SVRs, but resources (money and white coats) are elsewhere, mostly with the PI's. I expect we will see some pre-dosing studies soon and maybe some enlightened clinicians will start demanding HPLC testing for their patients.
26471 tn?1211936521 s different now, but two years ago when treating I found it impossible to test for serum riba levels (HPLC technology) in this country. I was about to hop a plane to Sweden to test when I hit the riba wall (ended up in the ER) and decided I probably was at my maximum dose :) HPLC testing would have been a bit more elegant!
Avatar n tn You have a high urine - (and the doctor used a test that is less sensitive, there is a more sensitive test that has a lower range using a method called HPLC). The high calcium shows that you may have a parathyroid issue - and that should be addressed as well - in fact, if you have that, with a pituitary and adrenal tumor, the doc should be evaluating you for MEN - multiple endocrine neoplasia. Just my thoughts out there.
144210 tn?1273088782 re comparing a 12-year old study that would be easy to implement (tapering) with a recent finding that would be very difficult to implement (if not impossible) in this country because HPLC testing for serum ribavirin is not available in clinical settings. Also, my guess is that Shiffman is quite flexible on riba dosing (other than weight) if he's in sync with some his collegues that I've consulted with.
158241 tn?1237719523 Eleven patients (35%) achieved SVR, whereas 20 (65%) were non-responders. The median ribavirin plasma concentration at W4 (1.90 mg/l) varied from 1.62 mg/l in patients with subsequent non-response to 2.28 mg/l in sustained responders (P=0.007). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the 2.01 mg/l threshold gave the best sensitivity and specificity (73% and 80%, respectively, area under the curve =0.80; P=0.007).
Avatar m tn BTW , if you are checking out Vit B12 you might as well take a look at your Vit A. VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY NEGATIVELY AFFECTS THE RESPONSE TO ANTIVIRAL TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C Background and aim: Vitamin A deficiency has been associated with enhanced susceptibility to virtually all types of infections, through a modulating action on innate and adaptive immunity.
Avatar m tn Now there are a few papers that have actually measured, in a reliable well documented HPLC fashion, the achieved RSV concentration in the blood of human subjects after exposure to 250 and 500mg of 99% transResveratrol.
Avatar m tn The concentration of total phenols may also be indicated on the labels of echinacea products. The total phenolic content (determined by HPLC) should be at least 1% for quality whole herb or root products and proportionally higher for extracts and tinctures depending on their concentration. Almost all the clinical studies showing benefit have been conducted with products extracted from the aerial (i.e., stems, leaves, flowers) portions of E.
Avatar f tn Urine was collected for 24 h after consumption of each treatment for analysis of CGA and metabolites by HPLC/LC-MS. The amount of CGA and metabolites recovered after consumption of combined coffee-milk (40% ± 27%) was consistently lower in all subjects compared to that of coffee alone (68% ± 20%). Concluding, the simultaneous consumption of milk and coffee may impair the bioavailability of coffee CGA in humans.
1225178 tn?1318980604 I don’t think this requires novel technology; I believe HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) testing was used by the Swedish team Lindahl to assay plasma ribavirin in that high dose riba study we referenced earlier. My guess is that the issue at hand is FDA approval and the limited need for this test; would a lab be able to recover approval costs for limited need?
Avatar f tn Patients and methods Serum ribavirin concentration of 183 chronic hepatitis C patients (genotype 1) treated with pegylated interferon-α2b plus ribavirin for 48 weeks was prospectively measured by HPLC at weeks 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48. Patients with undetectable serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA 24 weeks after the end of treatment were designated as having sustained virological response (SVR).
Avatar m tn A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was used to analyse serum drug concentrations. Caffeine caused a highly significant (p < 0.01) increase in AUC and AUMC, a significant (p < 0.05) increase in Cmax, and a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in clearance (C1/F) of acetaminophen. We conclude that caffeine taken in doses commonly available commercially or in a cup of coffee can significantly potentiate the therapeutic potential of acetaminophen in man. http://www.
Avatar m tn I spend most of my time synthesizing and HPLC purifying peptides with a bit of N-terminal sequencing thrown in (dying service). I oversee the rest of the services, DNA sequencing, next gen sequencing, DNA synthesis & purification. Come June I will have been here 25 years so my micro knowledge has really gone right out the window sadly. As for the culture....I found at the time that my pediatrician did not routinely send away for culture. They did it at the doc-in-a-box places though.
Avatar f tn If the same ingredient is tested with a more specific and accurate test method, e.g., the HPLC method the actual silymarin content may be revealed as being significantly lower than 80%, Suppliers charge a higher price for extract that is "80% silymarin -- HPLC." The FDA does not set standards for the composition of herbal products or how manufacturers are supposed to test them.
Avatar m tn A Metabolomic study was performed by the University of Dublin in conjunction with Metabolome Inc. on HCV infection. The study involved running HPLC analysis on around 40,000 metabolites of healthy human liver cells (hepatocytes) in the lab, then infecting the cells with HCV and re-running the analysis at 24, 48 and 72 hours after infection. The changes were reflective of the changes to the DNA that HCV core protein and other viral proteins cause to the Genome.
144210 tn?1273088782 The possibility exists that you may not be metabolizing ribavirin very well, as studies suggest that serum concentrations and hemoglobin response are more important than a patient's weight. Bottom line I would think is what's happening with your viral response? Are you UND yet and at what week? If you're already UND by a very sensitive test, then you might think twice about upping the riba.
Avatar m tn Dose escalation to the subsequent higher dose was performed after positive safety evaluation of comprehensive clinical and laboratory data by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board. Plasma concentrations were determined by HPLC-MS from repeated samples collected up to 72h after dosing and PK parameters were calculated using a two-compartment model. Immunogenicity was studied by RIA. Results: 24 participants were exposed and 53 adverse events were recorded (none was serious).
