What is a myelogram?
|
an examination involving injection of a radiopaque dye into the subarachnoid space at the lumbar spine to determine the presence of herniated disk syndrome or tumors
|
|
|
Process of removal of dye after myelogram
|
oil-based dye: removed through spinal needle to prevent meningeal irritation. Pt rest in flat position for at least 12 hrs
Water-soluble dye: wil be absorbed by the body and excreted in the urine. Encourage plenty of fluids and have lie quietly in a semi-Fowlers position for approx 8 hrs |

|
One of the most objective measurements of rheumatoid arthritis severity
|

normal values: male up to 15 mm/hr female up to 20 mm/hr |
|
|
An elevation of this titer indicates abnormal serum protein concentration
|
Rheumatoid Factor (RF)
normal: <60 units/mL |
