Chemistry 2 (Hepatic) Flashcards
AST is present in
Cardiac>liver>sk. musc>kidney>brain>lung>panc
which is more specific for liver (AST or ALT)
ALT (in liver and kindey)
which is 80% mitochondrial and 20% cytoplasmic
AST
which has marked diurnal variation
ALT
Fast LDH isoenzymes are, and are seen in
LD1>2
heart, RBC, kidney
In adults, ___ tends to be slightly higher than ___
ALT>AST
Slow LDH isoenzymes are, and are found in
LD4&5
liver and skeletal muscle
LDH isoenzymes that is “dire finding”
LD6
hepatic vascular insufficiency
order of normal [LDH] by isotype
2>1>3>4>5
what is “flipped LD ratio” and when is it seen
LD1>LD2
acute MI, hemolysis, renal infarct
[LDH] order in normal CSF
1>2>3>4>5
where is acid phosphatase found
prostate
RBCs
bone
What separates RBC acid phosphatase from others
susceptible to inhibition by 2% formaldehyde
resistant to inhibition by tartrate (TRAP of hairy cell)
Sources of Alkaline phosphatase
bone, bile ducts, intestine, placenta
Alk phos decreased in
hypophosphatemia
malnutrition
alk phos isoenzyme that is inactivated by hear or urea
bone (100%)
biliary (50%)
most sensitive marker of hepatic metastases
biliary alk phos
bone alk phos produced by osto___
osteoblasts (during bone formation)
