Clinical Chemistry 1 Enzymes

[@double_d_dumbo]

Would it be possible to also include answers to your quiz questions so that KZbin students learning from your lectures can also test ourselves and see if we are understanding the lectures correctly?

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

I will try to add these soon

Thanks a bunch ma'am. This is the first video I seeing on chemical pathology.

[@r.c.bukowski140]

I really appreciate how simple your explanations are. I am a first year MLS student - beginning fall 21. I am somewhat concerned because the mathematics presented in general chemistry is not my strong point. Should I be concerned?

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

for clinical chemistry, the most important math concepts are an understanding of dilutions; basic statistics such as mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation; some programs may have you calculate concentrations. You will likely spend more time learning body physiology and how all the tests and results relate to disease.

well elaborated, i like your work

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

Thanks a lot!

I like this videos as a medical labworker are you a clinical chemist?

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

I am a medical lab worker turned clinical lab professor! I was a generalist but spent many, many hours in clinical chemistry

[@ED-mj4cu]

@@DrAsClinicalLabVideos that's amazing im just a simple medical labworker but hou have a PhD would love to teach clinical chemistry and hematology i dont understand how these clinal chemists know all of this and way more than i learned. Did you studied biochemistry or something.

I tried answering the polls, where can I find the answers? I want to know if my answers are right

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

First poll: If you have an abundance of substrate and all enzymatic active sites are saturated, you are in zero order kinetics (first order is substrate dependent, the more substrate you have the faster it goes; zero order is enzyme-dependent, the more enzymes you have the faster it goes, as long as you have enough substrate)

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

second poll: If the AST is sightly elevated and the ALT is normal, what do you suspect? NOT liver (it would elevate ALT too). With slight elevation of AST, it can be RBC hemolysis or a small muscle injury (both RBC and muscles contain AST)

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

third poll: If a pregnant patient has signs and symptoms of gallstones, which test would you order to confirm the source (liver or placenta) of the elevated ALP? GGT would be high in gallstones and normal if the ALP is from placental origin.

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

fourth poll: If your patient has a biliary obstruction (gallstones), what do you expect? high ALP and high GGT because they are both of liver origin and increased in bile duct obstructions

[@DrAsClinicalLabVideos]

fifth poll: If your patient is a child with growing pains, what do you expect? high ALP (it would be from the bones) and normal GGT (because the liver is fine)

Thank you so much!
