Liver Markers From CBC Flashcards
(23 cards)
This biomarker looks at the heart, liver, kidney, and pacreas
GGT
This lab marker is used with ALP to identify hepatic dysfunction:
GGT
Alk Phosphate
Total Protein
AST
GGT or GGTP
“gamma glutamyl transferase”
AAs will transport glutathione metabolism and detox. pathways
Primarily in the liver, secondary to kidney and pancrease
Which two lab marker identifies liver, skeleton, kidney, and pancreas functions?
AST and GGT
ALT and GGT
ALT and AST
AST and GGT (10-30U/L and )
aspartame amino transferase tskes aspartic into a-KG to make OAA and glutamic acid
This liver biomarker reverts to a-KG into pyruvic acid and glutamic acid:
AST
ALT
GGT
ALBUMIN
ALT (alanine aminotransferase)
Normal ranges 10-30OU/L
The combination of AST and ALT elevation would indicate
HD, LD CHF, or cirrhosis
Possible acetaminophen use
The combination of AST and ALT decline would indicate:
B6 anemia or renal disease
This marker is in the liver, regulating osmotic pressure and FRs
Globulin
Albumin
AST
ALT
Albumin
Normal ranges 3-4.9
Elevation would indicate dehydration
A decrease in albumin would indicate
Liver dysfunction, biliary dysfunction, neoplasm
This type of albumin from serum protein identified inflammation and infections:
Total bilirubin
Total protein
All Phosphate
Globulin
Globulin
Normal ranges 2-3
If there is elevated globulin this would indicate
Liver dysfunctions like hepatic infections
A decrease in globulin amount would indicate
HCl insufficiency and digestive dysfunction
An increase in GGT would indicate
NAFLD, alcholism, oxidative stress
If this lab marker is elevated it would indicate digestive dysfunction:
Total Bilirubin
Globulin
Total Protein
Alk Phosphate
Total Protein
normal ranges 6-8.3
adds albumin and total globulin
If this lab marker is decrease it would indicate a protein malnutrition, leaky gut, and the need for AAs:
Globulin
Total protein
Alk Phosphate
Albumin
Total protein
This lab marker identifies the end product of HG breakdown:
Albumin
Globulin
Total bilirubin
Total protein
Total bilirubin
a combination of direct and indirect measures
Ranges: 0.2 - 1.3
An elevated amount of total bilirubin would indicate
gallstones, liver metastasis, cirrhosis, hepatitis
This lab biomarker identifies zinc accumulatin:
Alk. Phosphate
Calcium
Phosphorus
Choline
Alk. Phosphate (ALP)
Normal ranges 20-125
Identifies a zinc deficiency, as ALP is primarily make in the liver, kidney, and bone
Low levels would indicate a deficiency or VC deficiency
An elevated all. phosphate would indicate
Liver cancer, cirrhosis
This biomarker produces and clears urea:
Calcium
BUN
Creatinine
Phosphorus
Potassium
BUN
normal ranges 7-25 (optimal 10-15)
An elevated amount of BUN would indicate
diuretic use, cirrhosis, renal dysfunction
A decrease in BUN would indicate
liver failure or celiac disease
This lab biomarker identifies additional renal function:
BUN
Creatinine
A/G ratio
AST
Creatinine
Normal range 0.5-1.3
A decrease in this range would be muscle wasting and less muslce mass
If here is an elevated Creatinine it would indicate
chronic renal dysfunction, prostate hypertrophy
