Consuming fewer than 20 grams of carbs daily is known as a ketogenic diet, or a very low-carb diet. The brain only uses glucose or ketone bodies for energy. When you restrict your glucose intake due to a low carb intake, your body converts fats into ketone bodies.
The mononucleosis test is used to help determine whether a person with symptoms has infectious mononucleosis (mono). The test is used to detect proteins in the blood called heterophile antibodies that are produced by the immune system in response to an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the most common cause of mono. A mono test is frequently ordered along with a complete blood count (CBC).
The Monos blood test is part of a complete blood count [CBC]. The CBC is the most common blood test that is ordered by doctors today. It examines the components that make up the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The different types of cells are also counted and monos cells are a type of white blood cell.
