Q

Patient with low serum cholinesterase level, what is the next step?

A

Test if the cholinesterase can be inhibited by dibucaine.
-Patients w/ hereditary hyporcholinesterasemia (homozygotes) have low levels of cholinesterase that is not inhibited by dibucaine, whereas normal cholinesterase is inhibited

Q

What instrumentation measures the amount of light deflected at an angle?

A

Nephelometry
-Measures amount of light that is deflected at NON-90 degree angle by particles in solution

*Flourometry uses 90 degree to capture only emitted light and not transmitted light

Q

An elevated BUN to Creatinine ratio is seen in what conditions?

A

Volume depletion/Decreased renal blood flow
-CHF, Shock, Urinary obstruction, etc

Q

Patient has creatinine measured via 2 methods. One methods gives a normal result, whereas the sample with alkaline picrate (Jaffe reaction) resulted in Elevated Creatinine. What is the reason?

A

Patient has elevated Acetoacetate

-Ketone bodies cause positive interference in Jaffe reaction

Q

Patient has Increased Osmolar Gap but Normal Anion Gap. What was ingested?

A

Isopropanol

17
Q

Calculation for Osmolar Gap.

A
  1. CO = 2 x NA + 1.15 * GLU/18 + BUN/2.8

2. OG = MO - CO

18
Q

Calculation for Anion Gap.

A

AG = NA - CL - HCO3

19
Q

Patient with increased osmolar gap and increased anion gap. Testing for methanol was negative. What did they ingest?

A

Ethylene glycol

20
Q

Calculate LDL cholesterol:

  • Total cholesterol = 260
  • HDL = 40
  • Triglycerides = 200
A

Friedwald Equation:
LDL = Total - HDL - (triglycerides*/5)
LDL = 260 - 40 - (40)
LDL = 180

*Not valid if triglycerides >400

21
Q

Test tube with creamy layer on top and opaque plasma below.

A

Increase in Exogenous and Endogenous lipids

  • Exogenous (chylomicrons-creamy layer)
  • Endogenous (VLDL-opaque layer)

*Increased cholesterol does NOT make plasma cloudy

22
Q

What is the initial screen for someone suspected of having Acromegaly?

A

Serum IGF-1

23
Q

What inhibits prolactin secretion?

A

Dopamine

24
Q

A

Vit. B12 deficiency

25
Q

AST vs. ALT:

-Which is found in mitochondria?

A

AST

26
Q

Diagnosis: Elevated Alk Phos, slightly elevated Bilirubin and recent onset painless jaundice.

A

Pancreatic Cancer

27
Q

What is CA 19-9 a marker for?

A

Pancreatic cancer

28
