Sub Answers Marking No. No. Scheme 5. Tests based on detoxification- Hippuric acid test, Blood ammonia and bilirubin Determination of Hippuric acid test Determination of Blood ammonia and bilirubin BILIRUBIN Bilirubin is a bile pigment, & is the excretory end product of heme degradation. It is conjugated in the liver to form bilirubin diglucuronide, & excreted in bile. 1. Serum bilirubin The normal concentration of serum bilirubin is in the range of 0.2- 1.0 mg/dl. Of this, the conjugated bilirubin is about 0.2-0.4 mg/dl, while the unconjugated bilirubin is 0.2 - 0.6 mg/dl. Jaundice symptoms include yellow coloration of conjunctiva, mucous membrane & skin due to increased level of bilirubin. Jaundice is visible when serum bilirubin level exceeds 2.5 mg/dl. Van den bergh reaction This is a specific reaction to identify the increase in serum bilirubin(above reference level). Normal serum gives a negative van den Bergh reaction. This reaction is very useful to understand the nature of jaundice. The response of van dan Bergh reaction can differentiate the jaundice as follows- Indirect positive —Hemolytic jaundice Direct positive —Obstructive jaundice Biphasic—Hepatic jaundice 2. Bilirubin in Urine The conjugated bilirubin, being water soluble, is excreted in urine. The bilirubin in urine can be detected by Fouchet’s test or Gmelin’s test. bilirubin in urine tests measures the levels of bilirubin in your urine. Normally, urine doesn't have any bilirubin. If there is bilirubin in your urine, it may be an early sign of a liver condition. A positive (+) result of bilirubin in urine (bilirubinuria) is indicative of a liver problem or a bile obstruction. Bilirubin in urine can be detected by Fouchet’s test or Gmelin test Page No: 10 of 31  MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION (Autonomous) (ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2005 Certified) WINTER– 2023 EXAMINATION Model Answer – Only for the Use of RAC Assessors Subject Name: HOSPITAL AND CLINICAL PHARMACY Subject Code: 20225 Q. Sub Answers Marking No. No. Scheme A)Fouchet’s test : Principle : Bilirubin is precipitated by Barium Chloride. This bilirubin is oxidized to green biliverdin by Fouchet’s reagent. TEST : i)Acidity 10ml of urine with a few drops of dilute acetic acid and add 5ml of 10% solution. ii)If there is not much ppt add 2 drops of saturated solution of magnesium sulphate , mix and allow to stand for a few minutes. iii)Filter and unfold the filter paper. iv) Add one drop of Fouchet’s reagent to ppt. v)The development of green coloration indicates the presence of bile pigments. B) Modified Gmelin’s test: To 10 ml of urine, add 2-3 drops of dil.HCL.filter it through paper, allow it to dry and put a drop of conc HNO3 at the apex of paper.Different coloration can be seen in the order of green , blue, violet , red and yellowish red, showing the presence of bile pigments. 3. Measurement of Urine bile salts The amount of urobilinogen present in urine depends on the amount of bilirubin entering the intestine. It is estimated semi-quantitatively by Ehrlich’s aldehyde reagent. Clinical interpretation: In increase in urobilinogen in urine, is found in hemolytic jaundice due to excess production of bilirubin In hepatitis urobilinogen in urine may be normal or decreased In post hepatic obstructive jaundice, due to the complete or almost complete biliary obstruction, no urobilinogen is found in urine because bilirubin is unable to enter the intestine 4.Measurement of Bromosulphophthalein (BSP) dye test In addition to excreting bilirubin, the liver is capable of eliminating various dyes or Page No: 11 of 31  MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION (Autonomous) (ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2005 Certified) WINTER– 2023 EXAMINATION Model Answer – Only for the Use of RAC Assessors Subject Name: HOSPITAL AND CLINICAL PHARMACY Subject Code: 20225 Q. Sub Answers Marking No. No. Scheme drugs by the same excretory pathway as bilirubin. Bromosulfophthalein excretion test: A 5% solution of BSP is injected intravenously (the dose is 5 mg/kg body wt) and a sample of blood is tested 45 minutes later for percentage of injected dye remaining in the blood. Clinical interpretation: In normals, the retention of BSP at 45 minutes is less than 5 %. Impairment of liver cell function causes an increase in BSP retention. TESTS BASED ON SERUM ENZYMES FROM LIVER ➔ Liver cells contain several enzymes which may be released into the circulation in liver damage. ➔ Measurement of selected enzymes in serum is often used to assess the liver function. 1.Transaminases or aminotransferases The activities of 2 enzymes-serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase(SGPT; recently known as alanine transaminase-ALT) & serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase( SGOT; recently known as aspartate transaminase-AST)--are widely used to assess liver function. The activity of these enzymes is low in normal serum(SGPT-5-40 IU/litre; SGOT-5-45 IU/Iitre). Serum SGPT & SGOT are increased in liver damage.However, SGPT is more sensitive & reliable for the assessment of LFT. Clinical Significance of SGPT & SGOT TESTS In liver diseases, the concentration of these enzymes increase in the serum. Both enzymes increase in obstructive jaundice. Very high concentrations of these enzymes indicate toxic hepatitis.

Sub Answers Marking No. No. Scheme 2. ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE (ALP) Alkaline phosphatase(ALP) is mainly derived from bone & liver. A rise in serum ALP( normal 3-13 KAunits/dl KING ARMSTRONG), usually associated with elevated serum bilirubin is an indicator of biliary obstruction(obstructive jaundice). ALP is also elevated in liver cirrhosis & hepatic tumors. Measurement of other serum enzymes like γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT), 5’-Nucleotidase, isocitrate dehydrogenase & isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase are also useful in LFT. 3.Gamma – Glutamyl transpeptidase: (GGT) Measurement of (GGT )activity provides a sensitive index to assess liver abnormality Serum GGT is highly elevated ( Normal 10 – 15U/L) in biliary obstruction and alcoholism LFT BASED ON SERUM PROTEINS (Albumin) Albumin is only synthesized by the liver. It is a good marker to assess chronic liver damage. Low serum albumin is commonly observed in patients with severe liver damage. It must however, be noted that the serum albumin concentration is also decreased due to malnutrition. LFT BASED ON SERUM PROTEINS(Globulin) Increased synthesis of Globulins indicates impairment of liver. Cirrhosis of the liver is indicated by the reversal of albumin/globulin(A/G) ratio. GALACTOSE TOLERANCE TEST Galactose is a monosaccharide, almost exclusively metabolized by the liver. The liver function can be assessed by measuring the utilization of galactose. This is referred to as the Galactose Tolerance Test. In normal individuals, the half-life of galactose is about 10-15 minutes. This is markedly elevated in infective hepatitis & cirrhosis.

Sub Answers Marking No. No. Scheme PROTHROMBIN TIME The liver synthesizes all the blood clotting factors. A decrease in the concentration of plasma clotting factors is found in the impairment of liver function. This can be checked by measuring prothrombin time which is prolonged in patients with liver damage compared to normal. The half-lives of clotting factors are relatively short(5-72 hrs.), therefore, changes in prothrombin time occur quickly. Hence this test is useful to assess acute as well as chronic liver damage. HIPPURIC ACID SYNTHESIS The liver is the major site for the metabolism of xenobiotics(detoxification). Measurement of hippuric acid synthesis is an ideal test for assessing the detoxification function of the liver. 1 f Define medication errors.

It may be attributed to 1) Dilution of the drug 2) Adsorption or complexation of drug 3) The alteration of gastric emptying 1.The interaction of drug and Tyramine containing drug ex. Cheese. MAO is an enzyme abundantly present in liver and other tissues. It causes metabolism of Serotonin (5- hydroxytyramine), Tyramine and noradrenaline. When the action of MAO is inhibited , the concentration of serotonin, tyramine and noradrenaline increases in CNS. This causes sudden hypertension and severe headache. Hence tyramine containing food like cheese, banana, some beers,yeast products and caffeine-containing drinks are restricted in patients on MAO inhibitor therapy. 2.milk reduces absorption of tetracycline by forming an insoluble complex. 3.Fatty food delays gastric emptying time and alters rate of absorption. 4.Absorption of some drugs reduces in presence of food e.g. Ampicillin, Rifampicin, Isoniazid. Iron absorption is reduced if food has been taken within the previous two hours. If Iron is taken on an empty stomach it can cause nausea. Therefore, Iron tablets are often given with food. 5.Absorption of drugs like- riboflavin, spironolactone, lithium, citrate, Carbamazepine increases in the presence of food. 6.Nitrofurantoin is given with food to avoid GIT irritation this also increases drug absorption.
