Q

decreased AST

A

cirrhosis
amyloidosis

tissue enzume in liver and many other organs

17
Q

— is measure of liver function

A

bile acids

18
Q

Creatine kinase is a measurment of

A

muscle damage: cardiacm smooth or skeletal muscle

  • can tell you if high AST is from liver, if CK low. or if from other organ if CK high
19
Q

increased uric acid can mean

A

carnivore that just ate
renal diease
gout

  • liver converts ammonia to urea and uric acid
  • eliminated by kidneys
20
Q

low albumin causes

A

renal loss
CKD
destruction (sepsis)
malnutrition

21
Q

high globulin

A

chronic inflammation
active folliculogenesis

22
Q

ruptured RBC/hemolysis will increase what lab findings

A

phosphorous
potassium
total protein
AST

23
Q

lipemia will cause what on lab work

A

RBC lysis- decreased PCV
abbormally high- AST, uric acid, calcium
