Biochemistry lab 2nd year Flashcards
Reference Range Cholinesterase
4 - 10 U/ml
Serum Cholinesterase decreases in…
- hepatic failure: hepatic cirrhosis, liver insuficiency
- intoxication
CAVE: Serum Cholinesterase is an important marker of liver function.
Reverence range Serum GOT.
< 50 U/L
Reverence range Serum GPT.
< 45 U/L
Explain Rittis coefficient.
GOT/ GPT = 1.33
medical diagnosis for liver damage and hepatotoxicity.
The activity of serum GOT increases in..
myocardial infarction, acute hepatits, toxic necrosis of the liver, acute pancreatitis, renal failure.
CAVE: In case of MI, GOT increases significantly.
The activity of serum GPT increases in..
acute hepatitis, toxic necrosis, alcoholic liver.
Serum amylase reference range.
60 - 300 U/l
Serum amylase is increases in..
- acute pancreatitis
- parotitis.
Acid phosphatase (ACP) has its optimum pH at..
4.5
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has its optimum pH at..
10.5
ACP found in..
- liver
- prostate
- Erys
ALP found in..
- liver
- bone
- gut
- kidney
Reference range ACP:
< 11 U/l
Reference range ALP:
20 - 48 U/l
(children: 38 - 138 U/l)
Reference range GGT:
male: 8-50 U/L
female: 8 - 40 U/L
GGT increases in..
- hepatobiliary disorders
- alcoholism
- drug administration
- acute pancreatitis, Diabetes mellitus
Reverence range of serum glucose..
70-110 mg/dl
Hyperglycemia
- Diabetes mellitus
- Cushing diseases
- Hyperthyrodism
- Peochromocytoma
Hypoglycemia
- Islet cell carcinoma
- Addison disease
- Hypothyrodism
- Overdose with insulin
Reference range of Urea..
15-40 mg/dl
Hyperuremia
1. Prerenal: decreases of blood flow in kidney
- hemorrhage
- dehydration
- shock
2. Renal causes: decreased renal function
- glomerulonephritis
- tubular necrosis
- nephrosclerosis
3. Postrenal causes: urinary tract obstruction
- renal stones
- tumor of bladder/ prostate
- urethral strictures
Hypouremia
1, Malnutrion of proteins
- severe liver disorder
Reference range of Uric acid..
2,5 - 7 mg/dl
Hyperuricemia
1. Increasd dietary intake
2. Increases uric acid production:
- gout: inflammantory arthritis of joints, very painful
- Teatment with chemotherapry: increaed breakdown of cell nuclei
3. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome: decreased excretion
Hypouricemia
- Severe liver disease
- Defective kidney tubular reabsorption
Reverence range Creatinine..
0,5 - 1,2 mg/dl
(less in female -> reduces muscle mass.
Hypercreatininemia
similar to urea!
1. Prärenal: decreases blood flow in kideny
- hemorrhage
- dehydration
- shock
2. Renal causes: decreased renal function
- Glomerulonephritis
- acute tubular necrosis
- nephrosclerosis
3. Postrenal causes: urinary tract obstruction
- renal stones
- tumors of bladder or prostate
- urehtal strictures
