Q

how is metabolic acidosis compensated

A

hyperventilation

- expel CO2 and bring pH back to normal

22
Q

what hormone is involved in increase & decrease in calcium levels

A

PTH - increases

calcitonin - decreases

23
Q

where is calcitonin produced

A

parathyroid

24
Q

which 2 analytes is collected in grey top tube

A
  1. Lactate ( has to go on ice )

2. alcohol levels for legal reasons ( we measure it on whole blood)

25
Q

what is the confirmatory method for drugs of abuse analysis

A

gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

26
Q

what does pilocarpine iontophoresis measure

A

sweat chloride for cystic fibrosis diagnosis

> 60 mmol/L = cystic fibrosis

27
Q

what solution is used to calibrate a freezing point osmometer

A

sodium chloride

28
Q

what is the best method to measure sodium concentration on a sample thats highly lipemic

A

direct ISE - bc its undiluted

if using indirect we dilute it and that causes a false decrease ( pseudohyponatreia )

29
Q

low blood volume causes synthesis of what hormone by kidneys

A

alosterone - increases Na+ retention & water along with it ( increases blood pressure

30
Q

a serous fluid has to be kept on ice and anareobic for which test

A

pH

31
Q

trinder reaction is used to measure

A

salicyilates

32
Q

if a patient has elevated levels of AFP in fetal serum what kind of condition might fetus have

A

neural tube defects

33
Q

when do we collect peak drug levels

A

shortly after dose

- except digoxin ( 8hrs to travel throughout tissues & reach equilibrium )

34
Q

what % of carboxyhemoglobin is in smokers

A

5-15%

35
Q

what do we use to collect a lead sample

A

royal blue with EDTA

36
Q

how do we treat patients who have overdosed on opiates

A

naloxone

37
Q

if a patient has monhydrate calcium oxalate crystals in urine and sheets of renal epithelial cells what might they have ingested

A

antifreeze ( ethylene glycol)

38
Q

what is the most common method to analyze ethanol in lab

A

enzymatic method ( ADH enzyme - alcohol dehydrogenase )

39
Q

when someone overdoses on acetaminophen what oxidant becomes depleted

A

glutathione

40
Q

how do we know the difference between a hemorrhage or traumatic tap in CSF

A

traumatic tap will fade

hemorrhage will remain blood throughout all tubes

41
Q

if a male had an icreased hcG what does that indicate

A

testicular cancer

42
Q

what tumor marker is for colorectal cancer

A

CEA - carcino embryonic antigen

43
Q

estrogen & progesterone receptors are used for information on what

A

breast cancer

44
Q

CA- 125

A

ovarian cancer

45
Q

what is the reference method for calcium

A

ASS atomic absorption spec

46
Q

what is the specimen of choice for ionized calcium

A

heparinized calcium

47
Q

exposure to air for ionied calcium

A

measured on a blood gas analyzer

decreases CO2 & Calcium - increase pH

48
Q

what is the most important factor in phosphate regulation

A

PTH

49
Q

when is lactate a by product

A

by product of the emergency mechanism that produces ATP when O2 delivery is severely decreased

pyruvate is the normal end product of glucose metabolism

when O2 is deficient
- pyruvate is converted to lacttae & only 2 mol of ATP is produced opposed to 38 ATP regularly

50
Q

early indicator of hypoxia

A

lactatein blood accumulates

51
Q

pre hepatic vs post hepatic

A

pre- urine bilirubin neg

post- urobilinogen neg

52
Q

What is the main reason for respiratory acidosis

A

COPD ( chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

53
Q

What kind of electrode does a blood gas analyzer use

A

Clarke electrode
