Question | Answer |
---|---|
Enzyme produced primarly by the liver, bone, and placenta. it's excreted through the bile ducts | Alkaline Phosphatase |
A protein normally synthesized by the liver, yolk sac, and GI tract of the fetus | Alpha-fetoprotein -AFP |
An enzyme found in HIGH concentration in the LIVER and Lower concentrations in the heart, muscle and kidneys | Alanine Aminotransferase - ALT |
Remains elevated longer than aspartate aminotransferase - AST | Alanine Aminotransferase - ALT |
Enzyme that elevates its value in the presence of cirrhosis, hepatitis, and biliary obstruction - mid elevation with mets | Alanine Aminotransferase - ALT |
An enzyme present in many kinds of tissue; this enzyme is released when cells are injured or damaged - The increased levels is proportional to the damage and time since the injury | Aspartate aminotransferase - AST |
Elevation is associated with cirrhosis, hepatitis and Mononucleosis | Aspartate aminotransferase - AST |
A product of the breakdown of hemoglobins in old red blood cells | bilirubin |
Reflects the balance between production and excretion of bile | Bilirubin |
leakage into the tissue gives the skin a yellow appearance - jaundice | Bilirubin |
what are the 2 types of bilirubin values | direct, indirect and total |
another name for direct bilirubin | conjugated |
another name for indirect bilirubin | nonconjugated |
Bilirubin type that is associated with cirrhosis, hepatitis, OBSTRUCTION and mets | direct - conjugated bilirubin |
Bilirubin type that is associated with NON OBSTRUCTIVE conditions | non conjugated - indirect bilirubin |
enzyme produce by liver, and its production depends on amount of vitamin K | Prothrombin Time - normal: 10 to 15 sec |
T/F elevation or decreased of the Prothrombin Time is a sign of abnormal function | True |
Elevation is associated with cirrhosis, malignancy, malabsorption of Vitamin K, and clotting failure | Prothrombin Time |
Decrease is associated with prolonged EXTRA hepatic obstruction and issues with gallbladder or biliary system, including malignancy | Prothrombin Time |
It is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma, and its DECREASED suggests a decreased in protein sythesis resulting in liver disease or an inflammatory disease | Serum Albumin |
