There are many causes of a positive direct antiglobulin test. Depending on the technique and the reagents used, a positive direct antiglobulin test has been reported in 1:1000 to 1:14,000 blood donors and 1%-15% of hospital patients. Most blood donors with positive direct antiglobulin test results appear healthy, and most show no overt signs of hemolytic anemia.
Overview. The inguinal region of the body, also known as the groin, is located on the lower portion of the anterior abdominal wall, with the thigh inferiorly, the pubic tubercle medially, and the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) superolaterally.ymph nodes in the inguinal region receive drainage from the penis, scrotum, and vulva. Patients with cancer or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) may acquire lymphadenopathy in this region. Penile cancer. Penile cancer is a rare but serious disease found in certain parts of Africa and South America.
As a result, the contents of the abdomen, such as intestine, may protrude through the opening, creating pain and/or a bulge. Location of Inguinal Hernia.
