An 82-year-old woman living in a nursing home feels unsteady on her feet and doesn't go outside much anymore. Lactose intolerant, she has never been able to drink milk. She does not take any dietary supplements. She says, "I feel my age, doc," but otherwise has no specific complaints. On her annual lab assessment, calcium is found to be slightly low at 3.5 mg/dL (normal 8.5-10.2 mg/dL), with albumin at 3.5 g/dL (normal 3.5-4.8 g/dL); BUN at 28 mg/dL (normal 7-18 mg/dL); and creatinine at 1.1 mg/dL (normal 0.5-1.1 mg/dL). This prompts further evaluation, which reveals intact PTH elevated at 181 pg/mL (normal 11-54 pg/mL) and 25(OH) vitamin D low at 6 ng/mL (normal 20-50 ng/mL). Discussion Questions: 1. What diagnostic possibility is suggested from the initial lab results of her annual assessment? 2. This patient's differential diagnosis includes two diseases. What are they? 3. Is her renal function related to either of these two diseases? 4. How should this patient be treated?

The results of a 40-year-old patient's blood work are presented below. Determine whether each reading is either stable or unstable based on the normal ranges provided in the table below: Test Normal range Units Sodium 135-145 mmol/L Calcium 8.5-10.6 mg/dL Potassium 3.5-5.2 mmol/L Glucose 65-99 mg/dL Iron 35-155 μg/dL *The unit mol corresponds to a mole, a counting unit, and 1 mol = 1000 mmol. Drag the appropriate items to their appropriate bins. calcium reading of 9.06 x 10^-8 kg/mL glucose reading of 9.49 x 10^-6 kg/L sodium reading of 1.37 x 10^-2 mol/dL potassium reading of 3.91 x 10^2 mmol/kL iron reading of 8.30 x 10^-7 mg/mL Stable Unstable

The patient is a 22-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital for a spiral fracture of his right fibula. Patient history revealed a sedentary lifestyle with poor nutritional habits. He is a focused university student who studies 18 hours a day and eats very little when stressed. For the last three weeks, he reported general weakness and body pains. The trauma occurred when he jumped down three stairs while running to his final exam before Christmas. The physician was concerned about potential physiological factors weakening the bone and ordered blood tests and a hormone panel. The results of the blood report are shown below: Calcium -- LOW Bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP-2) -- ELEVATED Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) -- NORMAL Aldosterone (Normal Sodium Diet Adult) -- NORMAL Cortisol -- NORMAL Calcitonin -- NORMAL Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) -- ELEVATED Thyroxine (T4 free serum) -- NORMAL Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) -- NORMAL Vitamin D - Cholecalciferol -- LOW Insulin -- NORMAL Glucagon -- NORMAL QUESTIONS 1. How are the blood results different from normal? 2. Which hormones are related to this system? What does each one do? 3. Which glands could be responsible for this dysregulation? Explain. 4. How does alkaline phosphatase relate to this system? 5. What is the significance of the calcium blood test results? 6. What is the significance of the ALP-2 test results? 7. What is your final diagnosis? Explain exactly what you think is happening in this patient.
