Hepatic Dysfunction
Bile acid test procedure
Fast pt
FSBA
Feed canned diet
PPSBA

Increase
Post bile acid levels __ in pt with Hepatic Dysfunction
^^
3 causes for abnormal bile acid test
Entrohepatic cirulation- portosystimic shunt
HBO- cant get to intstines
Liver dz- no storage
Immunofluorescent antibody test detects
Intracellular antigens
ELISA FelV/FIV test detects
FelV Ag and FIV Ab
ELISA HW antigen test detects
Adult HW
ELISA Parvo antigen test detects
Viral antigens in FECES
IFA test for FeLV detects
antigens inside WBC’s and Plts
AGID test shows a visual line of
Innunoprecipitation when Ag and Ab join
A false neg is when animal test ___, but is really ___
Neg, but is Pos.
A highly ____ test means that if “it” is there, the test will detect it
Sensitive
Immunoprecipitation reactions
RID, AGID, IFA, ELISA
RID
Radial immunodiffusion. Detects Ag, used to determine if passive transfer has occurred (foals)
AGID
Agar gel immunodiffusion. Used for Coggins test to diagnose EIA in horses. Detects EIA Ab.
IFA
Immunofluorescent antibody test. Increased sensitivity and specificity. Can detect intracellular antigens
2 types of IFA tests
Direct fluorescent Ab test, indirect fluorescent Ab test
Direct fluorescent Ab test
Detects Ag
Indirect fluorescent Ab test
Most useful to detect Ab
ELISA
Enzyme linked immunosorbant assay. Detects Ag or Ab
If the FeLV ELISA test is (+), you send out a(n) ______. If that test comes back (-), you wait _______ weeks to see if it has cleared
IFA, 8-12
FNA stands for ____________ and you should use a ___ or ____ga needle and a __-__ cc syringe
Fine needle aspirate, 22 or 25ga, 6-12 cc
Parabasal epi cell indicates which cycle
Anestrus
Intermediate epi cell indicates which cycle
Early proestrus
Superficial intermediate cell indicates which cycle
Late proestrus
Superficial epi cell indicates which cycle
Estrus
The specific gravity of CSF is
1.004-1.008
What will cause protein, specific gravity and call counts to increase in CSF?
Hemorrhage, inflammation, neoplasia
For both a CSF and synovial fluid you should use a __________ for cell counts
Hemacytometer
The instrument to measure CSF TP is a
Spectrophotometer
Which neoplasia cells are spindle-shaped a on cytologies?
Mesenchymal
In fluid analysis, ________ means it is clear and ________ means it looks cloudy
Transudate, exudate
Which -Oma cytology will show brown/black granules on the slide?
Melanoma
Give 5 ways to collect cells
FNA, centesis, impression smear or imprint, scrapings, swabs
Septic eosinophilic inflammation cytology- the likely cause is one of two things:
Parasites or allergies
3 general reasons for an increase in serum bile acids:
Problem with enterohepatic circulation, HBO, liver disease
Ways of timing the bitch
Vaginal cytologies daily, behavior, progesterone testing, luteinizing hormone test
Ovulation occurs ______hours after LH surge, an addition _____hrs is required for the ova to mature
12-48, 48
2 blue dots on progesterone test
Progesterone beginning to rise, begin breeding 3-5 days after initial rise
Which control helps guard against false pos.
Neg Control
A highly sensitive test would have a ____ number of ___
Low
False neg
A highly specific test would have a ___ number of ___
Low
False Pos
