What is single-level spinal stenosis? What does a high platelet count mean? Define congestive heart failure What does it imply if a patient has elevated total protein levels but low albumin levels? A patient has a high level of bilirubin and urobilinogen. What type of liver disease could he...
Liver function tests, including serum albumin, bilirubin, and coagulation times, are generally within normal ranges [4]. In most cases, PSVD is suspected due to persistent but moderately elevated levels of aminotransferases (AST, ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and/or alkaline phosphatase ...
What do acidosis and alkalosis mean? How many types of acidosis and alkalosis are there? What are the blood types of the ABO blood system? What is the average diastolic pressure in a healthy adult man? The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen changes with pH. What is affecting the pH...
The decrease in LS values correlated significantly with a decline in serum total bilirubin levels (r = 0.691; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Extrahepatic cholestasis due to choledocholithiasis increases LS and should be excluded before assesing liver fibrosis by transient elastography. (C) 2011 Kowsar...
What does high alk mean in a blood test? Highalkaline phosphataselevels may mean there is damage to your liver or that you have a type of bone disorder. Liver damage creates a different type of ALP than bone disorders do. What happens if alkaline phosphatase is high?
Bilirubin.This is a waste product made from old blood cells. The liver gets rid ofbilirubin. Your doctor may order a CMP instead of a BMP to get a better picture of how your organs, including your liver, are working. BMP Test Procedure ...
MELD 3.0 includes variables from the original model (ie, serum bilirubin, serum creatinine, and international normalized ratio) in addition to other inputs (ie, serum sodium, patient sex, and serum albumin) and a lower creatinine ceiling. Goals of using MELD 3.0 include reducing overall wait...
Such direct addition of micronutrients to foods is different from foods fortified in the preparatory processes, has the advantage that it does not require changing dietary practices, and has little effect on the taste of food. However, addition of micronutrient powders to prepared foods has ...
While most CO2 is transported in the blood as , most O2 is transported as a) carbonic anhydrase - bicarbonate ion b) bicarbonate ion - oxyhemaglobin c) ammonia - bilirubin d) oxyhemaglobin - deoxyhemaglobin Fill in the blank: In respiration, gas exch...
Some surface proteins are there which are called agglutinogens which are actually surface antigens present in the blood cells. There are agglutinins present in the blood which are basically antibodies that are present according to the blood type. Therefore it be...
