Explain serum iron analysis
Acidification using HCl to convert ferrous ion to ferric ion. Addition of glycolic acid or ascorbic acid to reduce ferric ion to shit (d ko mbsa HO). Change in solution’s color as the color indicator, tripyridyltriazine (TPTZ) or bathophenanthroline
Into plus Fe
It is involved in the transport of oxygen like phosphate

Electrolytes
Into plus Fe
2 types of ions based on their electrical charge
Cations (+)Anions (-)
Into plus Fe
Explain ions migrating capabilities.
Cations migrate towards the cathode.
Anions migrate towards the anode.

Into plus Fe
Women have lower average water content than males bec?
Higher fat content
Into plus Fe
Average water content of the human body
40-75% but also depends on body weight
Into plus Fe
Fluid inside the cells
Intracellular fluid
Into plus Fe
Water that Surrounds the cells in the tissue
Interstitial cell fluid
Into plus Fe
With energy; acts against concentration gradient
Active transport
Into plus Fe
Accounts for about 1/3 of total body water
Extracellular fluid
Into plus Fe
The passive movement of ions across a membrane
Diffusion
Into plus Fe
Percentage of water in normal plasma
93%
Into plus Fe
Water in plasma
Intravascular extracellular fluid
Into plus Fe
Normal plasma osmolality
Approx. 275-295m Osm/kg of plasma H2
Into plus Fe
A physical property of a solution that is based on the concentration of solutes per kilogram of solvent expressed as millimoles per kg of solvent (w/w)
Osmolality
Into plus Fe
Measured in millimoles per liter (w/v)
Osmolarity
Into plus Fe
Osmolarity is inaccurate in cases of:
Hyperlipidemia and hyperproteinemia
For urine specimens
In presence of osmotically active substances (ex. alcohol and mannitol)
Into plus Fe
Enumerate the transport processes
Active transportPassive transport
Into plus Fe
High osmolality means that there is less water than solute
Water deficit
Into plus Fe
Low osmolality means that there is more water than solute
Water excess
Into plus Fe
Hypernatremia means that there is less water than sodium
Water deficit
Into plus Fe
Hyponatremia means that there is more water than sodium
Water excess
Into plus Fe
ADH effect on water
ADH prevents water loss
Into plus Fe
ADH is produced where?
Hypothalamus but stored and released by the posterior pituitary gland
Into plus Fe
Explain osmolality regulation/correlation
If High osmolality is sensed, hypothalamus is stimulated to produce ADH and the sensation of thirst. Being thirsty, one is compelled to consume more fluids not unless one if of old age, an infant, with mental impairment or just lazy. Consuming more fluids will increase water content in ECF that will dilute elevated solute and will eventually lower osmolality.
Into plus Fe
It is the parameter to which the hypothalamus responds
Osmolality
Into plus Fe
Sodium concentration in plasma is affected by:
OsmolalityBlood volume
Into plus Fe
Clinical significance of osmolality
-the parameter to which hypothalamus responds-affects the sodium concentration in plasma
Into plus Fe
Shits that have Normally high osmolality
Sodium, urea, glucose
Into plus Fe
How: Calculation of osmolality
D ko rin maintindihan, pakibasa na lang tapos explain niyo sakin. Thanks.
Into plus Fe
An estimate of the true osmolality or to determine the osmolal gap -the difference bet the measurement and calculated osmolality -indirectly indicates the presence of the osmotically active substances other than sodium, urea or glucose
Calculation of osmolality????
Into plus Fe
Reference ranges of water
Serum: 275-295 mOsm/kg Urine (24hr): 300-900 mOsm/kg Urine/serum ratio: 1.0-3.0 Random urine: 50-1200 mOsm/kg Osmolal gap: 5-10 mOsm/kg
