Q: i thought achr modulating antibodies are not supposed to be in the blood at all. im trying to ask why would i have achr modulating antibodies in my blood, even if its in the normal range? why would i have detectable levels of them?

: We all have low levels of antibodies that are reactive with our tissues and cells. These antibodies are useful in removing old and dying cells. Wish you good health!

Q: which antibiotic(s) do not cause coagulation of the blood and plasma?

: No antibiotics significantly increase the risk of blood clots.

Q: ive done two achr antibody tests that only show i have achr modulating antibodies present but its within the normal range. why would i have achr modulating antibodies present in my blood but its not positive?

: Diagnostic testing results show a range of normal levels. If results are above the normal numbers, there might be confirmation of a clinical diagnosis which correlates with symptoms, and signs.

Q: i developed antibodies in my blood. why?

Auto-antibodies: Our immune system makes new antibodies all the time in order to fight infections. Autoantibodies are proteins made by the immune system that target the body’s tissues. Normally autoantibodies are routinely eliminated by the immune system’s self-regulatory process. Through a process we don't really understand, sometimes these autoantibodies aren't properly eliminated, leading to disease.

Q: why doesn't ab+ blood produce antibodies?

Genetics: You're talking about blood group antigens; sugars on the outside of the red blood cells unique to those with certain blood types. Those who have sugars "A" and "B" should not develop antibodies to these sugars, or else such antibodies would "attack" their own red blood cells (triggering lysis).

Q: what does it mean to have type b blood with antibodies u?

See belo: Blood types can be O, A, B, and AB. Antibodies can be to those "type" pr0teins or due to other blood proteins- e.g. Rh, Kell, etc. You need to know what they are against to make more sense out of the results

Q: what is the term used it refers to your level of antibodies in the blood?

Titer: The antobodies are not measured themselves. Instead, the titer is a measure of how much the sample can be diluted with the antibody activity still being detectable.

Question 1

what are the rare antibodies in the blood?

Accepted Answer

None: Not sure what you mean by "rare. "  everyone should have antibody response. Are you wondering about a specific type of antibody?

Question 2

when giving blood, i was told i have rare antibodies that make my blood in high demand. i'm o+, which i understand to be common but not rare. what do they mean by rare antibodies?

Accepted Answer

Special blood: In addition to the "basics" (A/B/O and rH factor) we all learned in school, there are about two dozen "lesser" blood antigens (/"groups"), and the presence or absence of some of these can be very important, usually to a patient that has had transfusions in the past. Examples of these are "Kell" and "Duffy," see table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_blood_group_systems

Question 3

ua shows neg. leukocytes. only 1 white blood cell and bacteria is rare. positive for nitrites. would cranberry juice cure this or do i need antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

Ua: Without symptoms a culture would have to be done to determine if there was bacteria. Cystitis is a clinical diagnosis with typical symptoms that is better treated with a culture and sensitivity. Nitrites are less important without symptoms, red or white cells in the urine and < 3 cells per hpf is normal range. Often times a catheterised urine specimen is needed.
