Match the following laboratory terms with their definitions:
Alkaline phosphatase = Specific laboratory tests that look at liver function ALT = Alanine aminotransferase—enzyme of the liver AST = Aspartate aminotransferase—enzyme of the liver Bilirubin = Yellow pigment in bile formed by the breakdown of red blood cells; excreted by liver and stored in the gallbladder
Match the following physiology terms with their definitions:
Hepatocellular disease = Classification of liver disease where hepatocytes are the primary problem Hepatocyte = Parenchymal liver cell that performs all functions ascribed to the liver Hepatofugal = Flow away from the liver Hepatopetal = Flow toward the liver
Match the following physiology terms with their definitions:
Hyperglycemia = Uncontrolled increase in blood glucose levels Hypoglycemia = Deficiency in blood glucose levels Liver function tests = Specific laboratory tests that look at liver function Obstructive disease = Classification of liver disease where the main problem is blocked bile excretion within the liver or biliary system
Identify the liver disease based on the descriptions:
Mild form of fatty infiltration = A Moderate fatty infiltration = B Severe form of fatty infiltration = C
Describe the abnormality in the image and determine if acute cholecystitis is present:
Late-stage cirrhosis with thick gallbladder wall, ascites, and shrunken liver. = No, the patient does not show signs of acute cholecystitis. Early-stage cirrhosis with normal gallbladder wall, no ascites, and enlarged liver. = No, the patient does not show signs of acute cholecystitis.
