Bilirubin

When a person has pancreatic cancer, their alkaline phosphate, glucose, and bilirubin levels may be elevated. For a definite diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, a pancreatic biopsy is necessary. If the cancer causes a secondary pancreatitis, the patient’s lipase and amylase levels are also elevated. They may look at a patient’s blood clotting time because thrombophlebitis is a possible symptom. CEA, carcinoembryonic antigen test, may be done to confirm the presence of cancer as the normal levels…

Drug-induced immune haemolytic anaemia (DIIHA) is considered as a singular blood disorder as it only happens in one in every 1 million people. It is the condition when the body’s immune system is attacked by its own RBC when certain drugs like penicillin, cephalosporin antibiotics, methyldopa and a list of others are being taken. When RBCs are being broken down, it promotes anaemia in which oxygen is depleted in tissues. [8] To be able to understand, drug-induced oxidative haemolytic anaemia is…

descriptive the sentenced are in the book. The book consists many detailed sentences about the fever and how to deal with it. A lucid quote in the book, “The skin and eyeballs turned yellow, as red blood cells were destroyed, causing the bile pigment bilirubin to accumulate in the body; nose, gums, and intestines began bleeding; and the patient vomited stale, black blood.”(Murphy 14). The quote illustrates that the patient is suffering from Yellow Fever, being unconscious. Notwithstanding,…

What is comparative anatomy, and what can we gain from it? Comparative anatomy is Organisms that are closely related to one another share many anatomical similarities. Sometimes the similarities are conspicuous, as between crocodiles and alligators, but in other cases considerable study is needed for a full appreciation of relationships like in cats and humans. Many anatomy students will end dissecting a cat long before they go near a human cadaver, there are many reasons for this such as lack…

disease is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which is known to affect our liver. Liver has many important functions in our body among which some of them are detoxifying and purifying blood, production and secretion of bile, excretion of bilirubin, cholesterol, hormones, and drugs, metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, enzyme activation, storage of glycogen, vitamins, and minerals and synthesis of plasma proteins, such as albumin and clotting factors (Stanford Children Health,…

assessment on a vaginal primipara, I noticed that she started crying. I started to assess the reasons why. She reported that she was exhausted and had not slept in four nights, her nipples hurt and breastfeeding was not going as planned. Her newborns bilirubin levels were a little on the high side and needed formula supplementation to speed up excretion. I explained to her that her feeling were completely valid, that she had planned and pictured a beautiful experience with her newborn and…

newly diagnose severe preeclampsia extremely high blood pressure or excessive protein in urine can development with in a short period of time. Symptom for severe preeclampsia include upper right abdominal pain increase of liver enzymes, elevated bilirubin, kidney damage, abruption of placenta, pancreas disease, pulmonary edema and, small amounts of urine less than 500 ML in a 24 including large amounts of protein. At that point preeclampsia is consider sever in the presence of multi organ…

Introduction Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia is a type of cancer that occurs when bone marrow produces too many leucocytes (white blood cells) . This over production of leucocytes occurs when they grow uncontrollably by overcoming the cell regulation cycle. Cells not undergoing the regulation cycle continue to divide without dying ,causing an overcrowding of cells, hence, forming a tumour in bone marrow. The tumour can become an even more serious issue when the cancer cells from a tumour spreads to…

F214 Communication, Homeostasis and Energy Module 2 Excretion 4.2.1 Excretion a. Define the term excretion Excretion-The removal of metabolic waste from the body which are by products or unwanted substances from cell processes. b. Explain the importance of removing metabolic wastes, including carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste from the body Carbon dioxide Excess carbon dioxide is toxic and has three main effects: The majority of carbon dioxide is carried in the blood as…

albumin, and alkaline phosphatase. [2]. Lipid profile includes testing HDL cholesterol, LDL calculated, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio. [3] Liver profile incudes testing total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl aminotransferase (GGT), aspartamine aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransaminase (ALT). [4] Renal profile is the last profile test done, and it includes testing urea, creatinine, sodium, and…
