Flashcards in Clin Chem - Abbrev Discussion 2 Deck (26):
1
when do bursts of GH occur
after lunch during a resting stage
2
hemoglobin with glucose
GHb
3
lifespan of RBC
3-4 months
4
how often is GHb test done
once in 3-4 months
5
used to confirm diabetes
GHb
6
an RBC enzyme in the membrane
G6PD
7
an RBC enzyme which makes RBC reformable/flexible
G6PD
8
if there are low levels of G6PD, what will happen to RBCs when passing through blood vessels
RBCs easily burst
9
screening tests for DM
FBG
2hr Post-prandial test
10
confirmatory test for DM
GTT
11
test which determines if person can tolerate excess glucose
GTT
12
monitoring tests (if DM worsened or not)
GHb
13
when does the fastest rise of glucose level happen
first 30 minutes after a meal
14
when does glucose level reach peak concentration
1 hr after a meal
15
after how many hour/s does the glucose level start to go down
after 1 hr
16

19
abnormal Hb associated with sickle cell anemia
HbS
20
abnormal Hb associated with thalassemia
HbC
21
fetal Hb
HbF
22
marker of pregnancy
HCG
23
best marker to confirm pregnancy
Beta HCG
24
Peak of HCG titer is reached in how many weeks/months
10 weeks or 2 1/2 months
25
why does HCG cross-reacts with LH, FSH, TSH
because all of them have identical subunit
