- What is increased plasma sodium (always indicates a relative total body water deficit, regardless of the extracellular volume status)?
- Which elevated hormones are seen in acute kidney failure, kidney disease, Diabetes, dehydration?
- What is the major intracellular cation that helps maintain the body's balance of fluids; also important in muscle & nerve function?
- •General Chemistry•Specific proteins•Drugs of Abuse/Toxicology•Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM)•Hematology testing:...are all examples of which type of testing?
- Which lab tests include those that require clinical laboratory expertise beyond normal automation to perform?
- •Dipstick or tablet reagent urinalysis•Fecal occult blood•Ovulation tests•Urine pregnancy tests•Erythrocyte sedimentation rate•Hemoglobin•Most "bed side" testing:...are all examples of which type of tests?
- What is decreased plasma sodium (always indicates a relative total body water excess, from excess water ingestion or inability of the kidney to excrete a sufficiently dilute urine, regardless of the extracellular volume status)?
- Which tests revert back to their moderate complexity categorization when performed by personnel other than a physician, midlevel practitioner, or dentist?
