Hilosis of blood - what is it? Causes, symptoms, treatment methods
Often when carrying out laboratory blood tests in custody, one can find the definition of "blood heel". What it is? This pathological condition is characterized by the presence in the serum of neutral fats (triglycerides), which do not give a full analysis.
What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides represent the main body energy reserve. They circulate in the blood in the form of lipoproteins of atherogenic nature. The content increases after taking fatty foods, which in most cases causes blood clotting. What it is? After eating fatty foods, the fats that enter it enter the bloodstream and interfere with a full analysis.
What does the blood test show? They most often cause the appearance of fatty deposits. Evidence of the presence of atherosclerotic processes in the body.
How is the analysis done?
Blood sampling for general analysis is performed by puncturing an anonymous finger. Blood is collected using special tubes and cones. Separation of cells from the plasma is carried out by centrifugation.
If the amount of triglycerides in the blood is exceeded, then it is impossible to separate the cells from the plasma, in this case it becomes viscous and white, and the diagnosis of "blood chile" is made. What is it and how to fix it, the doctor will tell in detail.
Causes of the appearance of the disease
During the day, the blood levels of triglycerides may vary considerably. This indicator depends mainly on the quality and quantity of food taken by a person. That is why the research is performed on an empty stomach, otherwise a bad blood test can be obtained.
The main causes of the appearance of the disease are:
- Lack of preparation - when before the analysis a person used alcohol and fatty foods, as a result of which the blood was saturated with neutral fats and became thick;
- Khilez cause various metabolic disorders of the body, such as obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism;
- Liver and kidney disease - viral hepatitis, renal failure, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, alcoholism;
- In rare cases may be a consequence of hereditary pathologies, in particular, a violation of lipid metabolism, in this case, the content of triglycerides in the blood exceeds the norm several times.
Pathological processes in the lymphatic system can also cause blood clots. What it is? In lymph appears a large number of impurities that lead to the thickening of the blood. In this case, the clinical picture is manifested by increased loads on the liver, metabolic disorders and obesity.
Consequences of the disease
Like any pathological process that takes place in the body, the disease can cause consequences of varying severity. The most common violations include:
- Deterioration of blood clotting;
- Impaired cholesterol metabolism;
- Pathology of cardiovascular (hypertension, angina pectoris, atherosclerosis) and lymphatic system;
- Pathologies of the thyroid gland;
- Disorders of the musculoskeletal system (polyarthritis, arthritis, gout).
Serum chylosis contributes not only to problems in the laboratory examination of blood, but also affects the vital activity and metabolic processes of the whole organism.
Treatment of the disease
To conduct the examination and prescribe the treatment should directly the attending physician, who will select the appropriate drugs in accordance with the individual characteristics of the patient's body.
The first thing is important to correctly identify what causes are the consequence of the development of the disease. With the help of pharmacological drugs it is necessary to determine the causes of the pathological state of the blood and neutralize them.
A poor blood test requires proper preparation (nocturnal fasting for about 10 hours and fasting blood on an empty stomach). If a triglyceride is found in the blood, it is necessary to observe a diet in which it is important to exclude any fatty, sweet, salty, flour products, milk, and also hot and fried. Also need to drink large amounts of water with the addition of lemon juice.
If necessary, the doctor should prescribe medications that help restore the metabolic processes of the body and the work of the liver.
Blood test: transcript, norm, table for women
To decipher the laboratory analysis it is necessary to know the approved norms of each of the indicators. They can vary depending on gender, age and other individual characteristics.
| Index | Characteristic | Norm |
| RBC - the number of red blood cells | With an insufficient number of red blood cells, anemia develops and the body loses micronutrients; With excessive amounts of red blood cells, gluing cells and blockage of blood vessels is possible. | 3.8-5.5x 10 12 / l |
| HGB, Hb - hemoglobin | It is a special protein responsible for the transfer of oxygen, a decrease in hemoglobin leads to oxygen starvation of organs; An increase in the amount of Hb indicates dehydration of the body and an increase in the content of erythrocytes. | 120-140 g / l |
| HCT - hematocrit | Indicated in percent, characterizes the percentage of erythrocytes in the blood. | 35-45% |
| RDWc - distribution of erythrocytes | Evidence of the presence in the blood of different-sized red blood cells. This condition is called anisocytosis - it is a manifestation of different anemias (in particular, iron deficiency anemia). | 11.5-14.5% |
| MCV - mean erythrocyte size | It allows to determine the type of anemia, for each of them the cell size varies | 80-100 Fl |
| MCH - hemoglobin content in erythrocyte (mean) | Shows the amount of hemoglobin in one erythrocyte, the deviation from the norm indicates the presence of anemia of different etiologies. | 26-34 pg |
| ICSU - hemoglobin concentration in erythrocyte | Indicates the degree of saturation of the erythrocyte with hemoglobin. | 30-370 g / l |
| PLT - number of platelets | Affect the formation of platelets and help prevent severe blood loss in damage to blood vessels. | 180-320х 10 9 / L |
| WBC - number of leukocytes | Leukocytes help protect the body from infections. With an increase in the white blood cell count, a bacterial infection or inflammatory process is often found in the body. | 4-9х 10 9 / L |
| LYM - the number of lymphocytes | Leukocyte subtype. Its functions include the development of immunity and antibodies to various viral infections. | 1,2-3x10 9 / l |
| MID - mixtures of different cells | Immature blood cells that circulate in it. | 0.2-0.8x10 9 / l |
| GRA - the content of granulocytes | Granular granulocytes indicate the presence of inflammatory processes in the body, fight infections. | 1,2-6,8х10 9 / l |
| MON - monocyte content | A subspecies of leukocytes, which, coming from the blood in the surrounding tissues, are able to absorb dead cells. | 0,1-0,7x10 9 / l |
The rate of erythrocyte sedimentation for women should be within 15 mm / h.
For men
In men, some indicators for laboratory blood tests may differ.
| Index | Norm |
| Number of red blood cells | 4.3-6.2 x 10 12 / l |
| HCT | 39-49% |
| ESR | Up to 10 mm / h |
It is important to note that in some laboratories there may be a slightly different table for deciphering the analysis, and accordingly, completely different norms. Therefore, one should not try to independently diagnose the results of such a study as a blood test (decoding, norm, table - the concepts are ambiguous), but the results should be provided to the doctor in order to get a full explanation and, if necessary, the prescription of medications.
A more complete picture will show a biochemical blood test. Decoding, the norm of indicators and treatment should be considered taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism.
