Laboratory Tests and Ranges Quiz

Laboratory Tests and Ranges

• Lipase: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 1-60 UI/L. Used for diagnosing pancreatitis.
• GOT (Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase): Tube Yellow, Normal range: Male 10-38 U/L, Female 10-32 U/L. Used to assess liver function, checking for potential liver damage.
• GGT (Gamma-glutamyl transferase): Tube Yellow, Normal range: 7-32 UI/L. Primarily used in diagnosing obstructive jaundice, intrahepatic cholestasis, and pancreatitis.
• Pro Calcitonin: Tube Yellow, Normal range: <0.5 ng/mL (low risk of sepsis/septic shock), >2.0 ng/mL (high risk of sepsis/septic shock). Used for early sepsis detection. Often used with CRP.
• Total Protein: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 6.6-8.7 g/dL. Used to diagnose nutritional problems, kidney, or liver disease.
• Amylase: Tube Red-top, Normal range: 23-100 UI/L. Diagnoses pancreatitis and related conditions.
• Glucose (Post-load): Tube Gray, Normal range: <140 mg/dL (2 hours post-meal). Used to assess how well diabetes patients manage blood sugar after meals.
• Glucose Tolerance Test: Tube Gray, Normal range: <140 mg/dL. Screens for prediabetes and diabetes.
• Vitamin D: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 20 ng/mL. Essential for bone health, muscle function, and the immune system.
• T3: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 85-202 ng/dL. Used to evaluate thyroid function and iodine deficiency.
• T4 Free: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 0.9-2.3 ng/dL. Measures unbound thyroxine, important for thyroid function assessment.
• CK-MB (Creatine Kinase-MB): Tube Yellow, Normal range: 0-5 ng/mL. Used to diagnose heart muscle damage.
• GPT (Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase): Tube Yellow, Normal range: Male 10-41 U/L, Female 10-31 U/L. Helps identify liver damage, especially from hepatitis or cirrhosis.
• CRP (C-Reactive Protein): Tube Yellow, Normal range: 0-5 mg/L. Indicates inflammation, often used with Pro Calcitonin in sepsis diagnosis.
• Lipid Profile (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL, HDL): Tube Yellow. Evaluates cholesterol levels to assess cardiovascular risk.
• Prealbumin: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 0.2-0.4 g/L. Assesses nutritional status and liver function.
• PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen): Tube Yellow, Normal range: 0-4.0 ng/mL. Used for monitoring prostate cancer and after surgeries.
• Magnesium: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 1.7-2.2 mg/dL. Used for assessing neurological and muscle function.
• Vitamin B12: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 160-950 pg/mL. A deficiency can cause neurological problems, confusion, and memory issues.
• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Tube Yellow, Normal range: 0.27-4.2 UI/mL. Evaluates thyroid function and problems with the thyroid gland.
• T4 Total: Tube Yellow, Normal range: 5.1-14.1 ug/dL. Used in thyroid function evaluation, also in conditions where thyroid production may be altered.

Test your knowledge on various laboratory tests and their normal ranges. This quiz covers essential tests like Lipase, GOT, GGT, and Procalcitonin, focusing on their uses in diagnosing conditions such as pancreatitis and liver function. Ideal for students in medical or nursing courses.
