A 44-year-old male presented to the clinic with the following symptoms: lower extremity edema, blood pressure 180/110, and extreme fatigue.
A serum sample was collected from the patient & the following lab results were obtained:
What is the most likely diagnosis?
Liver failure
Kidney failure
celiac disease
Pancreatitis
From the previous case, What do you expect the Parathyroid hormone level to be?
High
low
Normal
What is the most likely cause of this patient’s anemia?
Decrease in erythropoietin hormone
inactivation of 1, 25 dihydroxycholycalciferol
Decrease in PTH
Low protein diet
This patient is advised to eat:
Ca rich diet
K rich diet
Na rich diet
bananas, tomatoes and peach
-Lower limb edema can be due to
Hyperproteinemia
Hypoproteinemia
The most abundant plasma protein
Albumin
Fibrinogen
Globulin
Fibrin
In protein electrophoresis we expect to see........at the cathode
Albumin
Beta globulin
Alpha globulin
Gamma Globulin
Which of the following acts as a carrier for iron
Transcortin
Hepatoglobin
Transferrin
Albumin
Increase in case of any stressful conditions as (You can choose more than one answer)
Fibrin
alpha-one anti-trypsin
Albumin
c-reactive proteins
In protein electrophoresis, we use:
Serum sample
Plasma sample
A method for separating proteins based on their physical properties (their size, shape, and electrical charge).
DNA electrophoresis
Protein electrophoresis
Agarose gel electrophoresis
Which of the following methods is used for the determination of the plasma proteins:
Caraway method
Biuret method
Berthelot method
In an experiment to determine the concentration of albumin:
Atest = 0.3, Astd = 0.5
Conc of standard = 3.5 gm%
Total plasma proteins = 5 gm%
Calculate albumin concentration
2.1 gm%
5.83 gm%
2.1 mg%
From the previous case, calculate Globulin concentration and A/G ratio
( Albumin concentration= 2.1 mg%, total protein concentration= 5gm%)
Concentration of globulin= 2.9 gm% and A/G ratio=1
Concentration of globulin= 1.5. gm% and A/G ratio=0.7
Concentration of globulin= 2.9 gm% and A/G ratio=0.7
After you calculated albumin concentation and A/G ratio, what's the most likely diagnosis?
Chronic kidney disease
Chronic liver disease
Liver disease
