Question | Answer |
Reducing Sugar Test | If reducing sugar test is positive, then sugar is present in the urine. Reducing sugar test does not specify which sugar. There are specific tests for Glucose and Galactose using glucose oxidase and galactose oxidase. |
Amyloidosis | characterized by the formation of amyloid fibers. These fibers come from proteins that have become insoluble, often due to a conformational change such as partial folding, misfolding, or cleavage. |
HbA | Normal hemoglobin, 2 alpha and 2 beta chains |
HbA2 | Acts as normal hemoglobin, 2 alpha and 2 delta chains |
HbS | Glu to Val substitution, poor oxygen binding, where 2,3 BPG worsens Sickle Cell. |
HbF | Higher affinity for Oxygen, 2 alpha and 2 gamma chains. 2,3 BPG binding is reduced. |
HbM | A mutation that makes Hb resistant to reduction by NADH, which is involved in the conversion of Hb-Fe3+ back to Hb-Fe2+. The prior cannot carry oxygen and results in methemoglobinemia (blue people of Kentucky). |
Deficiency in Methemoglobin Reductase | Causes HbM |
Carboxyhemoglobin Test | High levels of carboxyhemoglobin indicate carbon monoxide poisoning |
HbA1c Test | Tests for non-specific glycosylatoin |

Creatine Kinase Test Result of MB | Cardiac Muscle Injury |
HbC | Glu to Lys substitution, pushes water out of the cell, Oxygen won't bind. |
Sickle Cell Disease | Polymerization is due to the presence of a hydrophobic protrusion and a complimentary hydrophobic pocket. Low oxygen concentration causes more Hb to go into the deoxy form and results in more sickling. |
Carcinoma | Tumor derived from epithelial tissue |
Jaundice | Increased bilirubin levels |
Serum Bilirubin Test | Levels of indirect or direct bilirubin are measured |
Cholestasis | A possible reason for jaundice due to a blockage in the bile |
TIBC | Total Iron Binding Capacity, determines the amount of transferrin unbound to iron. This can show defficiency in iron. |

Acidosis | Caused by carbonic acid or lactic acid; low oxygen or high carbon dioxide in tissues |
Alanine and Asparate Aminotransferase Test (ALT and ASP) | Used to test for liver function, as they are present at high levels in the liver and can leak out of damaged liver cells. This means ALT and AST would be high if a liver is damaged. |
Alkaline Phosphotase (ALP) | Found at high concentrations in the cells that line the biliary tract. Disorders affecting the bile duct can result in elevated serum levels of ALP. |
Serum Albumin test | d. As albumin is synthesized by the liver, patients with suboptimal liver function would show low serum albumin. |
Prothrombin Time (PTT or PTT) | Prolonged in patients where one of the following liver products is in a reduced amount: Factor I, II, V, X, VII. Extrinsic and Common Pathways |

Ischemia | Decreased blood flow to specific cells only, increased lactate build up. |
Hypoxia | Decreased oxygen supply body wide, leads to acidosis. |
Acidosis | Lower pH in cells, can be caused by lowered oxygen levels or elevated carbon dioxide levels. Caused by build up of lactic acid or carbonic acid. |
Scurvy | Caused by a vitamin C deficiency, which is required as a cofactor in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine, which contributes to the non-covalent bonding of collagen. |
Vitamin K Inhibition | Aspirin is a Vitamin K inhibitor. Vitamin K serves as a cofactor for Factors II, VII, X, IX, and protein C/S. Vitamin K deficiency can be found in diet, Tb infection, antibiotic use, and klling of bacteria in gut. |
Marfan Syndrome | Occurs due to lack of fibrillin, which helps maintain structure of elastin fibers. |
Anaphylaxis | Causes vessels to dilate and become more permeable due to release of histamine from mast cells. |
Scars and Keloids | Results when too much connective tissue builds up after wound healing. |
Cirrhosis | Results due to damaged reticular fibers in liver, collagen fibers replace reticular fibers. Collagen fibers are thicker, liver organization is messed up so filter and blood flow gets impeded. |
Basal Cell Carcinoma | Tumor of epithelial tissue, where there is an overgrowth of cells from the stratum basale. Keratinocytes are growing out of control. |

Bernard-Soulier Syndrome | Caused by a deficiency in the GPIIb protein which disrupts platelet adhesion to subendothelial collagen. |
Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia | Bleeding disorder caused by a decrease in the functional platelet membrane protein GPIIb. If you recall, GPIIb is responsible for platelet aggregation. |
Lactose intolerance | A condition of pain, nausea, and flatulence following ingestion of foods containing lactose. This can be caused by low levels of lactase, or intestinal (injury of intestinal villi that absorb) injury (caused by gastroenteritis, colitis, etc.). |
Fructose Malabsorption (intolerance) | Adolase B deficiency, which blocks fructose 1-Phosphate conversion to glyceraldehyde or DHAP. Symptoms include vomiting, intestinal discomfort, hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, fructose detected in urine, and can lead to hepatic and renal failure. |

Osteoporosis | Bone is broken down by osteoclasts faster than osteoblasts are able to build. |
Paget's Disease | Bone becomes thicker, as it is being built/repaired quicker than it is being broken down. |
Auricular Hematomas | Caused by repeated trauma. Hematomas between the perichondrium and the cartilage, which prevents nutrition. Underlying cartilage dies and is replaced by dense irregular connective tissue. |
Meniscal Tears | Menisci stabilize and cushion the knee, stressed often so tears are common; Tears on the outside are not as bad because blood vessels are available to help repair;Inner meniscus is often removed if damaged because it is avascular and doesn't repair. |
Place these in order of largest to smallest: Myofiber, Myofibril, Cell, and Muscle | Cell > Myofibril > Myofiber > Muscle |
Achondroplasia | Problems with the zone of proliferation; Skulls continue to grow because it is intramembranous ossification; Long bones however quit lengthening |
