BILIRUBIN, DIRECT, SERUM
BILIRUBIN, DIRECT 0.14 0.0 - 0.2 mg/dL
METHOD : DIAZOTIZATION
Interpretation(s)
BILIRUBIN, DIRECT, SERUM-Conjugated (direct) bilirubin is elevated more than unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin in Viral hepatitis, Drug reactions, Alcoholic liver disease
Conjugated (direct) bilirubin is also elevated more than unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin when there is some kind of blockage of the bile ducts like in Gallstones getting into
the bile ducts, tumors & Scarring of the bile ducts.

BILIRUBIN, TOTAL, SERUM-Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment found in bile and is a breakdown product of normal heme catabolism. Bilirubin is excreted in bile and urine, and
elevated levels may give yellow discoloration in jaundice.Elevated levels results from increased bilirubin production (eg, hemolysis and ineffective erythropoiesis), decreased
bilirubin excretion (eg, obstruction and hepatitis), and abnormal bilirubin metabolism (eg, hereditary and neonatal jaundice).
An elevated bilirubin level in a newborn may be temporary and resolve itself within a few days to two weeks. However, if the bilirubin level is above a critical threshold or
rapidly increases, an investigation of the cause is needed so appropriate treatment can be initiated.

ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE, SERUM-Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood. ALT is found mainly in the liver, but also in
smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas. It is commonly measured as a part of a diagnostic evaluation of hepatocellular injury, to determine liver
health. . AST levels increase during acute hepatitis, sometimes due to a viral infection, ischemia to the liver, chronic hepatitis, obstruction of bile ducts, cirrhosis.
ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE, SERUM-Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in various parts of the body .AST is found in the liver, heart, skeletal muscle, kidneys,
brain, and red blood cells, and it is commonly measured clinically as a marker for liver health. AST levels increase during chronic viral hepatitis, blockage of the bile duct,
cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, kidney failure, hemolytic anemia, pancreatitis, hemochromatosis. AST levels may also increase after a heart attack or strenuous activity.
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE, SERUM-Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a protein found in almost all body tissues. Tissues with higher amounts of ALP include the liver, bile ducts,
and bone. Elevated Alkaline Phosphaqtase levels are seen in Biliary obstruction,Osteoblastic bone tumors, osteomalacia, hepatitis, Hyperparathyroidism,Leukemia,
Lymphoma,Paget''''''''s disease,Rickets,Sarcoidosis etc. Lower-than-normal ALP levels seen in Hypophosphatasia, Malnutrition, Protein deficiency,Wilson''''''''s disease .

Page 2 Of 6
DIAGNOSTIC REPORT
Interpretation(s)
BLOOD COUNTS-The cell morphology is well preserved for 24hrs. However after 24-48 hrs a progressive increase in MCV and HCT is observed leading to a decrease in MCHC.
A direct smear is recommended for an accurate differential count and for examination of RBC morphology.
RBC AND PLATELET INDICES-The cell morphology is well preserved for 24hrs. However after 24-48 hrs a progressive increase in MCV and HCT is observed leading to a
decrease in MCHC. A direct smear is recommended for an accurate differential count and for examination of RBC morphology.
ERYTHRO SEDIMENTATION RATE, BLOOD-Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a non - specific phenomena and is clinically useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of
disorders associated with an increased production of acute phase reactants. The ESR is increased in pregnancy from about the 3rd month and returns to normal by the 4th
week post partum. ESR is influenced by age, sex, menstrual cycle and drugs (eg. corticosteroids, contraceptives). It is especially low (0 -1mm) in polycythaemia,
hypofibrinogenemia or congestive cardiac failure and when there are abnormalities of the red cells such as poikilocytosis, spherocytosis or sickle cells.

COAGULATION
Interpretation(s)
PROTHROMBIN TIME, PLASMA-Prothrombin Time measures the integrity of the extrinsic pathway and the adequacy of critical coagulation factors involved in it, namely, Factor
VII. This test is therefore, used for monitoring oral anticoagulation therapy which lowers the levels of multiple vitamin K dependent coagulation factors in blood (Factors II,
VII, IX and X) including Factor VII. The result of PT is expressed as International Normalized Ratio (INR) to neutralize the influence of variable sensitivity of the reagents
(thromboplastin) used in the assay by different laboratories.
Prolonged PT/INR is observed in hereditary or acquired deficiency of the relevant coagulation factors, vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, specific coagulation factor inhibitors
and nonspecific inhibitors of PT (eg, monoclonal immunoglobulins, elevated fibrin degradation products).
The following INR ranges are recommended for achieving optimal anticoagulation in different clinical conditions:

Interpretation(s)
CREATININE, SERUM-Higher than normal level may be due to:
• Blockage in the urinary tract
• Kidney problems, such as kidney damage or failure, infection, or reduced blood flow
• Loss of body fluid (dehydration)
• Muscle problems, such as breakdown of muscle fibers
• Problems during pregnancy, such as seizures (eclampsia)), or high blood pressure caused by pregnancy (preeclampsia)

Sodium levels are Increased in dehydration, cushing''''''''s syndrome, aldosteronism & decreased in Addison''''''''s disease, hypopituitarism,liver disease. Hypokalemia (low K)
is common in vomiting, diarrhea, alcoholism, folic acid deficiency and primary aldosteronism. Hyperkalemia may be seen in end-stage renal failure, hemolysis, trauma,
Addison''''''''s disease, metabolic acidosis, acute starvation, dehydration, and with rapid K infusion.Chloride is increased in dehydration, renal tubular acidosis (hyperchloremia
metabolic acidosis), acute renal failure, metabolic acidosis associated with prolonged diarrhea and loss of sodium bicarbonate, diabetes insipidus, adrenocortical hyperfuction,
salicylate intoxication and with excessive infusion of isotonic saline or extremely high dietary intake of salt.Chloride is decreased in overhydration, chronic respiratory acidosis,
salt-losing nephritis, metabolic alkalosis, congestive heart failure, Addisonian crisis, certain types of metabolic acidosis, persistent gastric secretion and prolonged vomiting,
TOTAL PROTEIN,ALBUMIN,GLOBULIN, SERUM-TOTAL PROTEIN,ALBUMIN,GLOBULIN RATIO
Serum total protein,also known as total protein, is a biochemical test for measuring the total amount of protein in serum..Protein in the plasma is made up of albumin and
globulin.
Higher-than-normal levels may be due to: Chronic inflammation or infection, including HIV and hepatitis B or C, Multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom''s disease
Lower-than-normal levels may be due to: Agammaglobulinemia, Bleeding (hemorrhage), Burns, Glomerulonephritis, Liver disease, Malabsorption, Malnutrition, Nephrotic
syndrome, Protein-losing enteropathy etc.Human serum albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma. It is produced in the liver. Albumin constitutes about
half of the blood serum protein. Low blood albumin levels (hypoalbuminemia) can be caused by:Liver disease like cirrhosis of the liver, nephrotic syndrome, protein-losing
enteropathy, Burns, hemodilution, increased vascular permeability or decreased lymphatic clearance,malnutrition and wasting etc.
CALCIUM, SERUM-Commom causes of decreased value of calcium (hypocalcemia) are chronic renal failure, hypomagnesemia and hypoalbuminemia.
Hypercalcemia (increased value of calcium) can be caused by increased intestinal absorbtion (vitamin d intoxication), increased skeletal reasorption (immobilization),
or a combination of mechanisms (primary hyperparathyroidism). Primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy accounts for 90-95% of all cases of hypercalcemia.
Values of total calcium is affected by serum proteins, particularly albumin thus, latter’s value should be taken into account when interpreting serum calcium
levels. The following regression equation may be helpful.
Corrected total calcium (mg/dl)= total calcium (mg/dl) + 0.8 (4- albumin [g/dl])*
because regression equations vary among group of patients in different physiological and pathological conditions, mathematical corrections are only
approximations. The possible mathematical corrections should be replaced by direct determination of free calcium by ISE (available with srl) a common and
important source of preanalytical error in the measurement of calcium is prolonged torniquet application during sampling. Thus, this along with fist clenching
should be avoided before phlebotomy.
