ASCP-MLT Exam Dumps : MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNICIAN - MLT(ASCP)

The creatinine clearance for this patient is 100 mL/min.

Creatinine clearance values are calculated using the following equation:

Creatinine Clearance (mL / min) = (Urine Creatinine / Serum Creatinine) x Urine Volume (mL) / [ time (hr) x 60 ]

For this patient Creatinine clearance (mL/min)= (120/1.5) x (1800 / [24 x 60])

80 x 1800/1440, which is 80 x 1.25, or 100 mL/min

A 45-year-old male of average height and weight had a serum creatinine of 1.5 mg/dL and urine creatinine was 120 mg/dL; the total volume of urine collected over a 24-hour period was 1,800 mL. Calculate the creatinine clearance for this patient in mL/min.

High triglycerides may be caused by disorders such as type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, Cushing's sydnrome, liver disease, uremia, dysglobulinemia, nephrotic syndrome, and alcoholism can cause hypertriglyceridemia.

A 46-year old known alcoholic with liver damage is brought in the ER unconscious. One would expect his lipid values to be affected in what way?

The intended response is "transfusion dimorphism". The microcytic, hypochromic erythrocytes suggests iron deficiency anemia. Interspersed among these cells are normocytic, normochromic erythrocytes suggesting two populations of red cells following transfusion. This was a case of severe iron deficiency treated with red cell transfusions and iron supplement.

The condition most likely associated with the peripheral blood picture in the photograph is:
