OverviewAI-generated summary

Hoda A. Hagrass, an Associate Professor in Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, studies the application of laboratory findings to clinical practice. Her research has investigated prognostic scores for severe acute liver injury and acute liver failure, examining the role of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the MELD-LDH score. Hagrass has also explored temporal variations in SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence by race and ethnicity in Arkansas, and has published case studies on the detection of Evusheld in serum protein electrophoresis and discrepancies in lactate measurements due to beta-hydroxybutyrate interference. Additionally, her work includes the investigation of plasma microRNAs as potential biomarkers for Hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma in Egyptian patients, and diagnostic challenges related to immunoglobulin A measurements. Her scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 12 with 29 publications and 497 citations.
