magnesium and zinc levels

<< < (2/3) > >>

Zaini:
Emby,

Andy explained it quite well :) actually there are two types of tests for zinc,serum zinc and plasma zinc,the normal ranges i posted were for plasma zinc.

Wishing you a happy and blessed Ramadan too  :hugfriend yes my daughter has tried fasting and does fast a few days in Ramadan,but not whole Ramadan,because as you mentioned its quite hot here and kids have school too,we are fasting for about 14 hours here,a friend of mine who lives in London told me that they are having 17 hours fasting,i have told my daughter that i'll let you keep them all once you are old enough,but right now you can try to get the essence of Ramadan by so many other good deeds.

Much Love,

Zaini.

Does the trasnfused blood affect the reading of certain vitamins or minerals. Usually platlets and WBCs are taken away from the blood before transfusion but plasma is not ( i guess since the red blood cells float in them, am i right???)
Aren't the serum calcium, zinc, magnesium,..... measured in the plasma??? quiet confused :huh

Andy Battaglia:
Most transfusions are packed red cells and have the plasma removed. The main mineral absorbed is iron, since it is in the center of the hemoglobin molecules. Any other traces of minerals would not be significant.

Manal:
Thanks Andy :wink

Emby:
