How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary.
If your child is having this test, it may help to explain how the test will feel and even demonstrate on a doll. Explain the reason for the test. Knowing the how and why may reduce your child's anxiety.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is done to detect an abnormally low level of pyruvate kinase. Without enough of this 酶, red blood cells break down faster than normal. 这叫做
This test helps diagnose
正常的结果
Results vary depending on the testing method used. In general, a normal value is 5.5 to 12.4u /g Hb.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A low level of pyruvate kinase confirms PKD.
风险
There is little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
晕倒 or feeling lightheaded- Multiple punctures to locate veins
血肿 (blood buildup under the skin)- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
