Clinical chemistries (plasma proteins, etc)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Important in determining an animals state of hydration. | Total Protein= (TP) |
| Most important plasma protein. Makes up 35-50% of total plasma protein in most animals. | Albumin= (ALB) |
| Alpha, Beta, Gamma Important to antibody production. | Globulin= (GLOB) |
| Precursor to fibrin. Involved in clotting. | Fibrinogen= |
| Protein Assays: | TP,ALB,GLOB,Fibrinogen |
| Hepatobillary assays: | ALT,AST,GLDH,SDH |
| Hepatocyte function tests: | TBIL,BA,CHOL |
| Enzymes asscoiated with Cholestasis: | ALKp or ALP GGT |
| LIVER SPECIFIC! NOT a good test for large animals | Alanine Aminotransferase= (ALT) |
| NON SPEFCIFIC LIVER DAMAGE!!!! found in RBC's | Asparate aminotransferase= (AST) |
| LIVER SPECIFIC ENZYME for LARGE ANIMALS. Especially in horses. | SDH |
| Best tests for liver values on ruminants. | GLDH |
| Present in isoenzymes in many tissues. Young animals= active bone formation. Older animals= liver | ALP or ALKP |
| Primary sources if the liver in DOGS,HORSES & RUMINANTS. Determines obstructive liver disease. | GGT |
| Determines cause of jaundice, elevated liver function, check the patency of bile ducts. | TBIL |
| Sent to outside lab. picks up liver disease before jaundice occurs. helps digest lipids. | BA |
| Primary production site in animals. used as a screening test for hypothyroidism. | CHOL |
