Q

what are the membrane isoformes of ALP (5)

A
  • TN-ALP (tissue nonspecific)
  • L-ALP (liver)
  • C-ALP (corticosteroids)
  • I-ALP (intestinal)
  • B-ALP (bone)
23
Q

L-ALP is a marker of _____ (not specific) and induced by ____, ______, and ______

A
  • cholestasis
  • bile acids
  • glucocorticoids
  • phenobarbital
24
Q

pathogenesis of increase L-ALP due to cholestasis (intra or post hepatic)

A
  • decrease excretion of bile acids via bile -> increase bile acids in hepatocytes and plasma -> increase production (induction) and release of L-ALP
25
in what species is L-ALP have a high diagnostic sensitivity and therefore usually icteric (before or after) increase ALP
- dogs | - usually increase ALP before icterus
26
in what species is L-ALP have very low diagnostic sensitivity and therefore usually icteric (before or after) increase ALP
- cats and horses | - usually icteric before increase in ALP
27
increase in C-ALP is induced by _____ and damage of ____
- glucocorticoids | - hepatocytes
28
increase endogenous or exogenous corticosteroids (glucocorticoids) pathogenesis of increasing C-ALP activity (3 ways)
- increase production (induction) and release of L-ALP - creates steroid hepatopathy with hepatocyte swelling -> impaired bile flow in canaliculi (cholestasis) - increase production and release of unique C-ALP
29
B-ALP is a maker of ____ activity
- osteoblasts
30
pathogenesis of increase B-ALP due to increase stimulus for bone growth (deposition)
- increase production and release B-ALP by osteoblasts
31
what is an inducer of osteoblasts
- PTH and osteoclasts
32
Y-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a marker of _____ and/or ____ hyperplasia and is a ____ enzyme
- cholestasis - biliary - membrane
33
increase urinary GGT excretion is a maker of ____ damage
- tubular
34
T/F: GGT can also increase due to steroids and phenobarbital
- true
35
pathogenesis of increase GGT due to cholestasis (intrahepatic or posthepatic)
- increase production (induction) and release of GGT
36
in what species is GGT diagnostic sensitivity similar to ALP
- cats and dogs
37
increase ALP:GGT ration is more likely _____ than other liver diseases
- lipidosis
38
in what species is GGT diagnostic sensitivity better than ALP
- horses and cattle
39

40
creatine kinase (CK) is a marker of ____ damage and a ____ enzyme
- muscle (cardiac or skeletal) | - cytoplasmic
41
what can cause a false increase in CK levels
- hemolyzed samples
42
pathogenesis of muscle damage causing increase in CK
- muscle damage of myositis, rhabdomyolysis, trauma, IM injections -> release of CK -> CK enters plasma lymph -> increase CK activity in plasma
43
CK is a good indicator of muscle damage in what species
- all
44
what is increased in anorectic cats with nasoesophageal tubes
- CK
45
amylase (AMS) is a marker of ____ damage and a ____ enzyme
- pancreatic acinar cell - mainly in dogs | - cytoplasmic
46
pathogenesis of pancreatic acinar cell damage causing increase in AMS
- pancreatic acinar cell damage (pancreatitis, neoplasm) -> release of AMS -> AMS enters plasma lymph -> increase activity in plasma
47
pathogenesis of decrease GFR due to prerenal, renal or postrenal mechanisms causing increase in AMS
- decrease inactivation and/or excretion of AMS by kidneys -> increase AMS 1/2 life in plasma -> increase AMS in plasma
48
lipase (LPS) is a marker of ____ damge and a ____ enzyme
- pancreatic acinar cell - mainly in dogs | - cytoplasmic
49
pathogenesis causing increase in LPS (2)
- pancreatic acinar cell damage (pancreatitis, neoplasm) | - decrease GFR due to prerenal, renal or postrenal mechanisms
50
1/2 life of serum enzymes that last days
- ATL & ALP - dogs | - AST & GGT - horses
51
1/2 life of serum enzymes that last for hours
- ALP - cats | - AMS, LPS, CK, ID, LD, GMD - cattle
52
common liver enzymes of dogs
- ALT & ALP
53
common liver enzymes of horses
-AST & GGT
