Acne occurs when the pores on your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. Each pore on your skin is the opening to a follicle. The follicle is made up of a hair and a sebaceous (oil) gland. The oil gland releases sebum (oil), which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin. The sebum keeps your skin lubricated and soft. Acne can be caused by one or more problems in this lubrication process.
In between exposures, a person's IgE level may drop. Sometimes an individual has a condition that affects the immune system and will not produce normal amounts of immunoglobulins. In this case, a person could have an allergy that is not reflected by the total IgE test result.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) indicates how well the kidneys are working. The higher GFR, the better kidneys function. However, once you are tested out low GFR, for example your GFR level is 5ml/min, you must wonder âwhat does low GFR meanâ. Generally, our GFR level ranges between 90 and 120ml/min, but these values may change with age.
