What are 3 types of methods for blood glucose measurement?
|
1. Copper reduction
2. Ferric reduction 3. Enzymatic |
|
|
What are 4 different copper reduction methods?
|
1. Folin-Wu
2. Somogyi-Nelson 3. Benedict's 4. Neocupoine |
|
|
What are the 2 types of enzymatic glucose methods?
|
1. Glucose oxidase
2. Hexokinase |
|
|
What is the principle of the hexokinase method?
|
-Glucose + ATP is converted to G6P and ADP by hexokinase
-G6P and NAD+ are converted to 6-PG and NADH by G6P-dehydrogenase. |
|
|
What is the principle of the glucose oxidase method?
|
-Glucose + O2 is converted to Gluconic acid and Peroxide by glucose oxidase.
-Peroxide + Red dye produces oxidized dye and water. |
|
|
What types of blood specimens are drawn for glucose tests?
|
1. Fasting
2. 2-hr post prandial 3. Oral glucose tolerance OGTT |
|
|
Is OGTT only for gestational diabetes?
|
no; also done for nonpregnant adults.
|
|
|
Why would a OGTT be done on a nonpregnant adult?
|
-If classic DM symptoms
-Elevated Fasting glucose on >1 occasion -Sustained glucose elevation throughout OGTT |
|
|
What 2 analytes in urine especially suggest DM?
|
-Glucose
-Ketones |
|
|
Which is a more specific method; hexokinase or glucose oxidase? Why?
|
Glu oxidase; it uses a mutarotase to put all the glucose in the B-glucose form.
