The CH50 complement assay measures the activation of the complement system, which involves a immune response that is activated when the body encounters a foreign particle or substance; and is to test and monitor patients for diseases.
Increased complement activation levels can mean a possibility of cancer, or infections.
Decreased complement activity levels can mean a possiblity of immune/genetic deficiencies or diseases, such as kidney transplant rejections or improper functioning of the kidney or liver.
The following are normal levels:
* Total blood complement level: 41 to 90 hemolytic units
* C1 level: 16 to 33 mg/dL
* C3 levels:
o Males: 88 to 252 mg/dL
o Females: 88 to 206 mg/dL
* C4 levels:
o Males: 12 to 72 mg/dL
o Females: 13 to 75 mg/dL
Note: mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter.
Please note that the above information, including normal levels, is from personal knowledge and sources available on the internet. This is by no means a professional response; and the above is not sufficient to make a self-diagnosis. For exact levels and diagnosis, you should consult your doctor.
Assuming the popular 2's complement is used, the range is from -24 to +24 - 1.
A signed 16 bit number can represent the decimal numbers -32768 to 32767.
Using 4 bits the signed range of numbers is -8 to 7. When working with signed numbers one bit is the sign bit, thus with 4 bits this leaves 3 bits for the value. With 3 bits there are 8 possible values, which when using 2s complement have ranges: for non-negative numbers these are 0 to 7; for negative numbers these are -1 to -8. Thus the range for signed 4 bit numbers is -8 to 7.
If the numbers in the specified range are specified from lower to higher, then, to be in the range, your number must be greater than or equal to the first, and it must also be less than or equal to the second.
In any large range of numbers, more so the higher and larger the range is, there will be more composites than primes. It is far more likely that a given number will be divisible by some number less than the number itself, the higher you go.
a result of less than means that the result was less than the linear range of the assay performed. if you had a result that low you probably have an inherited deficiency of complement
I'm going to assume 'assay of opiates' means one has tested positive for opiates in their system. Opiate's can range from the prescription hydrocodone to heroin.
