Enzymes

Front 1

What is the function of plasma cholinesterase?
What do decreased levels indicate?
increased levels?

Back 1

Degrades drugs
Hepatic disease. They are syntheized in the liver so a decrease would indicate a problem with synthesis.
Kidney trouble. Increased levels=decreased clearance

Front 2

How does Atropine function?

Back 2

Blocks the Ach receptors to counteact the fact that we cannot break the drug down.

Front 3

Name four places AST can be found.

Back 3

Muscle (cardiac & skeletal)
Liver
Kidney
Erythrocytes

Front 4

Name three causes for extremely high levels of of AST.

Back 4

MI
Circulatory failure
Acute viral hep

Front 5

Where is ALT found?

Back 5

Liver

Front 6

Serious increases in ALT indicate what?

Back 6

Circulatory failure
Acute viral hep

Front 7

Alkaline phosphatase is mainly found where?

Back 7

Liver and bone

Front 8

When is normal to see high levels of ALP?

Back 8

Growing children and pregnant women

Front 9

A biliary tract disease would present with what?

Back 9

Increased ALP

Front 10

What is the prostate tumor marker?

Back 10

PSA (prostate specific antigen)

Front 11

Name two things that indicate prostate cancer?

Back 11

PSA and AP (acid phosphatase)

Front 12

Name two major tests done using LDH.

Back 12

MI & hepatitis

Front 13

What alleles of LDH indicate an MI?
What about hep?

Back 13

MI= LDH 1&2
Hep= LDH 5

Front 14

Name three places Gamma GT is found?

Back 14

Liver
Kidney
Pancreas

Front 15

Gamma GT can be used to test for what?

Back 15

alcoholism

Front 16

Cholestatic liver disease is measured with what enzyme?

Back 16

ALP

Front 17

How do we differentiate the origin of ALP?

Back 17

Via Gamma GT, which is not associated with bone

Front 18

Acute pancreatitis is measured how?

Back 18

Amylase

Front 19

First enzyme seen following an MI?

Back 19

CK-MB

Front 20

Name three enzymes seen following an MI.
