Orosomucoid on the surface and inside the leukocytes in myocardial infarction
Keywords:
orosomucoid, leukocyte, myocardial infarction, flow cytometryAbstract
We investigated the concentration and distribution of ORM in blood cells of 12 patients collected at the first day after the heart attack. We showed that the level of ORM was increased 1.27 times in the serum in myocardial infarction. The ORM distribution on the surface and inside the blood cells is a more informative marker and can be successfully used as additional criteria for monitoring patients with acute coronary syndromes.
