liver
26
when conjugated bilirubin is increased it is highly specific for what disease
of the liver/bile ducts

29
PAP levels are used to determine
diagnosing prostate cancer, and monitoring treatment
30
what is the most sensitive test for Prostate cancer
PSA, higher the number the worse the cancer
31
PAP and PSA both elevated with a elevated alkaline phosphatase indicates
prostate cancer with metastasis to bone
32
True or False | Velocity change of PSA is more important to than the numerical value
TRUE
33
GGTP is sensitive for
liver disease

GTTP is not elevated in bone disease therefore if ALP is elevated but GGTP isnt susupect
skeletal disease
35
Elevated GTTP and ALP implies
hepatobiliary disease
