- A 35-year old woman became severely depressed after the sudden death of her husband. Two months later, she was brought to the emergency room by her friend because of extreme weakness and lethargy. She appeared thin and pale. Upon history taking, the doctor found that she had not eaten for several weeks. Analysis of the plasma sample indicated elevated levels of alanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). However, her plasma glucose concentration was low (55mg/dL). She was hospitalized, given intravenous feeding, antidepressant medications and subsequently shifted to a 1800kCal (7500kJ) diet. Her recovery was uneventful. Why did the patient have elevated levels of alanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)? How could the patient maintain her plasma glucose levels within normal limits even though she was not eating?Suggest, why the patient’s recovery was smooth after being shifted to a 1800kCal diet.arrow_forwardPernicious anemia is not alleviated by dietary vitamin B12 True Falsearrow_forwardMedia used for the demonstration of blood reactions should be low in fermentable carbohydrates.

- A 3-month old baby named Christian has never been discharged from the hospital since he was born. He is in an incubator since then and suffers from shortness of breathing and a fast heartbeat. His spleen was enlarged, and his urine is dark tea-colored. Apart from these symptoms, clinical laboratory tests resulted in the diagnosis of hemolytic anemia.

Per the paramedics bring him into the ER, family members state that he's a diabetic and a chronic alcoholic. Additionally, he'd been having bouts of fairly severe diarrhea for about 3 days prior to admission. On presentation to the ER, the gentlemen is nonresponsive and slightly blue. The paramedics tried to intubate but were unsuccessful, so they have been "bagging" him as best as they could en route. Labs taken upon entrance to the ER: ABG: 7.1/49/120/14 135 | 100 | 54 / 265 6 | 14 | 2.4 \ What do you think, by history and by labs and presentation, do you think is happening, at least in reference to his ACID/BASE STATUS; additionally, you may want to think about what underlying processes may be contributing to his overall condition.arrow_forward
