  2. NHANES Laboratory Component • Specimen collection • Specimen processing • Specimen storage • Specimen shipping • Specimen testing • Quality control • Specimen tracking • Laboratory QC

  3. Blood whole blood serum plasma blood clots Urine Home tap water Lead dust wipes Swabs nasal vaginal Specimens Collected

  4. Venipuncture Protocol

  5. Administering a questionnaire exclusions for hemophilia exclusion for chemotherapy (within 4 weeks) fasting questions (all 1+) fasting (all SPs age 12 or more years) morning - 9 hrs afternoon or evening -6 hrs. Performing venipuncture Collecting specimens for special studies collecting nasal swab Blood Collection Procedure

  6. OP96010

  7. MEC Laboratory • CBC and differential • Pregnancy test • Blood and urine processing • 290 laboratory assays • 44 vials of blood • 14 vials of urine • 13 other containers (water, swabs, wipes) • 28 laboratories

  8. Laboratory Protocol • Trends • assays the same or comparable across surveys • Complement the physical exam • bone markers • Bio-measurements (different measurements by age) • nutrition • environmental • infectious disease • chronic diseases

  9. Nutrition Laboratory Tests • Iron Status • Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin • Iron/TIBC • Ferritin • Vitamin Status • RBC Folate • Serum Folate/Vitamin B12 • Vitamin A/E/Carotenoids • Vitamin D • Homocysteine/methylmalonic acid

  10. Environmental Laboratory Tests • Lead • Cadmium • Blood and urine Mercury • Pesticides, persistent/non-persistent • Cotinine • Urinary Iodine • Lead Dust • Volatile organic compounds

  11. Infectious Disease Laboratory Tests • Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E • Sexually Transmitted Diseases • HIV • HSV-1 and 2 • Chlamydia / Gonorrhea • Syphilis • Bacterial vaginosis /Trichomonas • HPV antigen and antibody • Measles/Varicella/Rubella • MRSA • Toxoplasmosis

  12. Chronic Disease Laboratory Tests • Diabetes • Hemoglobin A1c • Glucose, Insulin and C-peptide • Heart Disease • Lipids, Fibrinogen, CRP • Thyroid Disease • TSH and Thyroxine • Kidney Disease • Urinary microalbumin • Clinical biochemistry profile- serum creatinine

  13. Other Laboratory Tests • Bone makers • Bone Alkaline Phosphatase • Urinary N-telopeptides • FSH/LH (females 35-60 yrs.) • Prostate Disease • Prostate Specific Antigen (males 40+)

  14. Future Research • Separate consent and storage • Serum- Age 6+ years • Plasma- Age 6+ years • Urine- Age 6+ years • DNA- Age 20+ years

  15. Additions to the Laboratory Component-2001 Vaginal Swab Collection (females age 14-49 years) • Bacterial vaginosis (BV) • Most common cause of vaginal discharge • Not an infection but a change in vaginal bacteria • Associated with premature labor and delivery • Infections after OB/GYN procedures • Trichomoniasis • Most common curable STD • No population based data • Causes reproductive health problems in women • Males rarely have symptoms

  16. NHANES 2001 Additional Blood Tests • Syphilis (age 18-49 years) • Two tests will be done (RPR and EIA) • Measure of recent infection (both tests positive) • Measure of remote infection (EIA positive) • Toxoplasma gondii (age 6-49 years) • Foodborne infection • Can cause congenital infections if pregnant women are infected

  17. NHANES 2001 Additional Tests • Prostate Specific Antigen (males age 40+) • Detects prostate disease/cancer • Nasal swab collection (ages 1+) • Methicillin-resistant Staph aureus • Assessment of community acquired bacterial resistance to antibiotics

  18. Additions to the Laboratory Component-2002 Vaginal Swab Collection (females age 14-59 years) • Human papillomavirus (HPV) • One of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the U.S. • Cervical infection with certain types of HPV is the strongest risk for cervical cancer. • No national surveillance systemto measure the burden of HPV infections in the U.S. Blood collection • HPV-16 antibody, males and females ages 14-59 years • To determine the prevalence of infection in the population

  19. NHANES 2002 Follow-up Addition to Exam • Follow-up of HCV positive individuals • Phone survey 6 months after ROF sent • Questions on knowledge and health care received
