Q

Reducing agent in fecal urobilinogen? in urine urobilinogen?

A

Urine - Ascorbic acid

Fecal - Alkaline ferrous hydroxide

17
Q

Why is urine urobilinogen high in pre-hepatic?

A

Due to overproduction of bilirubin; madami nacoconvert to urobilinogen

18
Q

Other name for AST

A

Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase

19
Q

How can you determine if the ALP elevations is due to the liver and not from any other condition?

A

Order 5’-NT test

If normal, it means bone disease. if both ALP and 5’NT is increased, it is a liver disease.

20
Q

A sensitive test for liver disease which can also differentiate biliary obstruction and bone disease

A

y - Glutamyltransferase

21
Q

Disorders in which liver phosphatases are elevated

A

A - lcoholism
B - iliary obstruction
C - irrhosis

22
Q

LDH isoenzyme found in skeletal muscle

23
Q

The only LDH isoenzyme that is important in liver diseases

24
Q

2 purposes of PT

A

Test for liver synthetic ability

Biliary obstruction

25
Q

Bile is essential for the absorption of Vitamin K, which is important for what clotting factors?

A

Clotting factors: II, VII, IX, X

26
Q

Also called microdiffusion method and the reference method

A

Conway method

27
Q

Uses bromophenol blue

A

Colorimetric method

28
Q

Only marker that can be detected through liver biopsy

A

HBcAg (Hepa B Core Antigen)

29
Q

Marker for non-infectious state of disease

A
