Does false positive carbohydrate-deficient transferrin result in chronic hemodialysis patients related to the analytical methodology?
A high rate of positive CDT results was observed in HD patients with the particle-enhanced immunonephelometry and seems to be related to the low transferrin concentration.
Lidocaine injection into the DRG may produce hyperalgesia, possibly due to activation of resident satellite glial cells. In a clinical setting, local anesthetic injection into the DRG should be avoided during selective spinal nerve blocks.
