Anorexic girl shows high levels of acetone in her blood?
When little or no sugar is taken in with the diet, the body switches to fatty acid breakdown to provide energy. One of the consequences of the switch is the buildup of ketone bodies in blood, which are decarboxylated to produce acetone.
Acetone is then partially metabolized, but can also be felt on the breath of the person - a kind of fruity, nail polish remover smell. It is a sign that the body is deprived of carbohydrates (similarly to type I diabetes).
High levels of acetone may damage the kidneys and the liver in the long-run.
That is not a normal side effect of anorexia and can be potentially dangerous as acetone can be a harmful chemical tonthe body.

Does an MRI cause dehydration?
No. A magnetic resonance imaging machine does not cause dehydration. However, the medical reason for having the MRI may indeed be causing dehydration.
Dehydration is not listed as a side effect on the web site:
http://mri-side-effects.net/
Some of the side effects listed are the same symptoms of dehydration, but are not an indication that the patient has lost water.
The contrast dye that is injected for some MRI scans may have its own issues though:

No, librium is a benzodiazepine and not an alcohol, so it will not cross react.

There are a great number of reasons that a baby might be born with high white blood count. One reason is that they may have an infection.

What does it mean when your thyroid TSH is zero?
With TSH the results are opposite of what you'd normally think they mean. High TSH means your thyroid is functioning very slowly. Low TSH means your thyroid is overactive.
A lab result with TSH of zero could mean a couple of things. If you're on thyroid hormone it likely means one of two things:
- You took your thyroid medication before the blood test and the medication is affecting your results. If this is the case your results are meaningless and the test needs to be repeated.
- If you didn't take thyroid medication before the test then you're over-medicated in general and your doctor should adjust your medication levels.
If you have Hashimoto's Disease it means that you're currently in the hyperthyroid stage of the disease.
For a more complete understanding of your thyroid function you should have the following tests done:
- TSH
- Free T3
- Free T4
- TPO Antibodies (if you suspect autoimmune disease)
drink a lot of water (not soda or kool-aid or juice --WATER) it should flush out in about 48 hours
Can pickle do the trick for a drug test?

What does a test result of 12 on monocytes mean?
It means that you could have an infection in your system. When your body isn't healthy, your monocyte count goes up to help fight infection. When it gets too high it is good to get it checked out.
What tube can cause an elevated sodium level on a electrolyte panel?
If you're asking which phlebotomy tube an e-lyte panel is run off of, it's a green top (also called Green-PST). It's the one that is longer that others and takes approx 4.5ml to fill.
The Question is a bit ambiguous, so I will leave it at that. If you have an elevated serum sodium, the results were obtained off the green tube listed above.
An infection common from anal sex, semen weakens the immune system in the rectum. I dispute the above - what organism is causing this? Semen does not weaken the immune system.
Cox could refer to Coxiella or Coxsackie.
Coxiella burnetii - intracellular bacteria causing Q fever.
Coxsacieviruses - enteroviruses spread by contact with faeces (not only by anal sex) or by respiratory secretions. They cause a wide range of conditions.
