QUESTION: (1) Comment on your calculated result. (2) Discuss 5 factors that can cause an elevated serum albumin level. (3) State 5 functions of Albumin. (4) In performing a liver function test (LFT) albumin is one of the parameters that is estimated, discuss its limitation as a liver function test (5) State 4 parameters apart from Albumin that is estimated as a liver function test. (6) Why is a sample for bilirubin determination put into a dark cupboard (not more than 5 lines). (7) Draw and label a protein electrophoresis pattern and indicate the position of albumin. (8) Draw and label only an electrophoretic pattern of multiple myeloma (paraproteinaemia).

A newborn girl appeared normal at birth, but within 24 hours she developed lethargy, hypothermia, and apnea. The attending physician suspects a metabolic disorder and orders a panel of labs. Which diagnostic would be the best to distinguish between a urea cycle disorder and a disorder in β-oxidation? Blood glucose Urinary acids Serum fatty acids Plasma glutamine A full blood work up was ordered for this female and the data is presented below. The initial blood ammonia level was elevated at 314 ug/dl (normal range = 17–80) and rapidly rose to 600 ug/dl. The urine orotic acid level was markedly elevated at 473 umol/L creatinine (nl = 0–3). The plasma citrulline level was normal at 10 uM/L (nl = 12–55).

A newborn girl appeared normal at birth, but within 24 hours she developed lethargy, hypothermia, and apnea. The attending physician suspects a metabolic disorder and orders a panel of labs. Which diagnostic would be the best to distinguish between a urea cycle disorder and a disorder in β-oxidation? a. Blood glucose b. Urinary acids c. Serum fatty acids d. Plasma glutamine A full blood workup was ordered for this female, and the data is presented below. - The initial blood ammonia level was elevated at 314 ug/dL (normal range = 17–80) and rapidly rose to 600 ug/dL. - The urine orotic acid level was markedly elevated at 473 umol/L creatinine (normal range = 0–3). - The plasma citrulline level was normal at 10 uM/L (normal range = 12–55). In this patient where orotic acid levels are elevated, list one urea cycle enzyme that is most likely deficient and one urea cycle enzyme that is least likely to be impaired.
