What disorders contribute to decreased serum magnesium levels?
diarrhea, hypoparathyroidism, pancreatitis, Cushing's disease, and with excessive diuretic use
Two endocrine glands responsible for the maintenance of serum calcuim?
The thyroid releases calcitonin which is responsible for decreasing serum calcium levels and the parathyroid glands release PTH and are responsible for increasing serum calcium
My vitamin B12 level is high . I don't take any supplements.?
Elevated levels of serum cobalamin may be sign of a serious disease like leukemia, polycythemia vera, and several liver diseases like acute hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver disease. You should consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Blood plasma minus fibrinogen is?

Why serum amylase levels return to normal in acute pancreatitis?
a small crack in my butt
Raised serum amylase levels?
Serum amylase raised in pancreatitis, DKA
With chronic pancreatitis does amylase and lipase lab values become normal?
"Amylase serum levels will rise with chronic pancreatitis." I am currently researching the effects on serum amylase and lipase in relation pancreatitis as part of a college course I am taking. What I have learned is that the amylase level will be elevated in ACUTE pancreatitis, but will be below the "normal" range in CHRONIC pancreatitis. In addition the lipase levels "parallel" the amylase levels, but lipase is a bit slower to rise and fall. They both elevate with acute pancreatitis, and both fall below "normal" range with chronic pancreatitis. One of my best references in researching these lab values inrelation to pancreatitis is the National Institute of Health (NIH) website.

What causes serum lipase to increase in pancreatitis?
Acute pancreatitis: Destruction of pancreatic acinar tissue results in the escape of pancreatic enzymes into the pancreas and peritoneal cavity. The enzymes enter the blood by way of lymphatics or capillaries with subsequent elevation of serum levels. Increases of at least 2 x normal are seen in pancreatitis. In dogs, lipase increases within 24 hours and peaks (at a higher level than amylase) at 2-5 days. Increases of 3 times normal support a diagnosis of pancreatitis more strongly than more moderate increases, which may be accounted for by non-pancreatic causes. Lipase may be normal in up to 28% of dogs with pancreatitis. In the cat, lipase is not consistently elevated in pancreatitis. It was hoped that measurement of trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI) would be better for diagnosis in cats, as high values are seen in dogs with pancreatitis and are very useful for diagnosis in dogs with normal lipase values. However, recent data suggests that TLI values are not consistently increased in cats with confirmed pancreatitis, limiting the usefulness of this test to cats with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. I got this from this page: http://diaglab.vet.cornell.edu/clinpath/modules/chem/lipase.htm
What are the uses of starch in amylase determination?
The uses of starch in amylase determination is to find hmuan serum in the human body.
What is acute renal insufficiency?
Acute kidney injury has any one of these traits: -The serum creatinine level increases by more than or equal to 0.3mg/dl within 48 hours -The serum creatinine level increases by more than or equal to 1.5 times of its baseline within 7 days -The urine volume is less than 0.5mL/kg/hour for 6 hours
What test assess the electrolyte levels?
serum sodium, serum potassium and s. chloride.
Why is your serum glucose levels high?
The most common cause of elevated serum glucose levels is recent food intake. The next possibility is diabetes mellitus.
What happens in hypernatremia?
High serum sodium levels
What are acute and convalescent sera?
Acute sera is when they run a test, usually an antibody level, while the person is ill. Convalescent sera is the serum of a patient that has recovered from an infection usually done about 4 weeks after treatment. Falling levels of the antibodies usually is taken to confirm the diagnosis and that the treatment worked.
What color blood tube for serum ferritin blood levels?
Red (Serum) Tube or a Gold (SST) Tube
