Clinical Chemistry
Across
- 1. blown out type, used for viscous samples, has bulb near tip and has etched mark near mouth.
- 4. maker of this puzzle
- 6. is used to concentrate urine sediment in urinalysis for microscopic viewing.
- 8. is a technique used by particles to trap small Ags, labeled or unlabeled.
- 12. is the main regulator of the expression of ENaC on the luminal membrane through its genomic effect on the activity of serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK-1), and therefore the main determinant of renal excretion of potassium.
- 13. convert revolutions per minute (RPM) to relative force (RCF), or g force, use the following formula: RCF = (RPM)2 × 1.118 × 10-5 × r.
- 14. this automation all samples are carried through the same analysis pathway; one sample, one test,and air bubbles is used.
- 15. the sample has serum bilirubin approaches to 430 mmol/L (25 mg/L), interference may be observed in assays for albumin, cholesterol (using ferric chloride reagents), and total protein (Biuret procedure).
- 16. be encountered when testing for hormones, iron, acid phosphatase, and urinary excretion of most electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and phosphate.
- 17. initially seen as scleral icterus when the patient has total serum bilirubin concentrations above 2 mg/dL.
- 18. affects the K, LDH, ACP, AST, Aldolase, Mg, PO4, ALB, and TP; but K is the most affected intracellular cation.
Down
- 2. is a substance that causes particles to congeal in a group or mass, particularly a typical antibody that occurs in the blood serums of immunized and normal human.
- 3. is Higher in the morning, the best time is at 6:00-8:00 AM. It peaks: 4-6 AM, lowest 8PM-12AM, lower: 8PM than 8AM
- 5. error is the difference between the target/truevalue and the assay value independent of the analyte concentration.
- 7. this automation, the sample is handled in a separate compartment, and performed on a batch basis and it is STAT capable.
- 9. on muscle mass, it can increase by 110% in plasma and by 60% in serum after 48 to 56 hours, secreted but is also reabsorbed.
- 10. the standard or calibrator, near the true and could result in systematic error.
- 11. for 72 hours decreases plasma glucose levels in healthy women to 45 mg/dL (2.5 mmol/L), while men show an increase in plasma triglycerides, glycerol, and free fatty acids, with no significant change in plasma cholesterol.
