Q

Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase

A

GGT
present in the hepatocytes and bile duct epithelium
elevation indicates HC disease and biliary obstruction
increased in most disease that cause acute damage to liver/bile ducts and in patients with acute/chronic alcohol abuse

20
Q

Increased GGT and ALP =

A

biliary obstruction

21
Q

Increased GGT and ALT =

A

hepatocellular disease

22
Q

lactic dehydrogenase

A

LDH
enzyme widely distributed throughout body
by itself is not as useful as with determination of its five isoenzymes, which can indicate specific organ or tissue damage
can be used to monitor treatment of some cancers

23
Q

Alpha fetoprotein

A

AFP
protein synthesized by fetal liver
levels decrease during the first year of life
elevation with: HCC, germ cell tumors (ovaries and testes), metastaic Plateletliver cancer, childhood hepatoblastoma
moderate levels can be seen with non-cancerous liver diseases
>500 ngmL = hcc, level loosely correlates with degree

24
Q

thrombocytopenia

low platelets due to either decreased production or increased destruction

25
Q

Thrombocytosis

A

increased platelets

is either congenital or reactive or due to unregulated production
