Clinical chemistries (plasma proteins, etc)
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Important in determining an animals state of hydration. | Total Protein= (TP) |
Most important plasma protein. Makes up 35-50% of total plasma protein in most animals. | Albumin= (ALB) |
Alpha, Beta, Gamma Important to antibody production. | Globulin= (GLOB) |
Precursor to fibrin. Involved in clotting. | Fibrinogen= |
Protein Assays: | TP,ALB,GLOB,Fibrinogen |
Hepatobillary assays: | ALT,AST,GLDH,SDH |
Hepatocyte function tests: | TBIL,BA,CHOL |
Enzymes asscoiated with Cholestasis: | ALKp or ALP GGT |
LIVER SPECIFIC! NOT a good test for large animals | Alanine Aminotransferase= (ALT) |
NON SPEFCIFIC LIVER DAMAGE!!!! found in RBC's | Asparate aminotransferase= (AST) |
LIVER SPECIFIC ENZYME for LARGE ANIMALS. Especially in horses. | SDH |
Best tests for liver values on ruminants. | GLDH |
Present in isoenzymes in many tissues. Young animals= active bone formation. Older animals= liver | ALP or ALKP |
Primary sources if the liver in DOGS,HORSES & RUMINANTS. Determines obstructive liver disease. | GGT |
Determines cause of jaundice, elevated liver function, check the patency of bile ducts. | TBIL |
Sent to outside lab. picks up liver disease before jaundice occurs. helps digest lipids. | BA |
Primary production site in animals. used as a screening test for hypothyroidism. | CHOL |
