Question

Accounting While results like $1.2 million in revenue sound like a compelling reason to adopt social media marketing, one of the hurdles small business owners quickly encounter is the issue of time. While many social media and blogging tools are free or low cost for small business owners, they still require a major time commitment to work properly. Triumvirate has two marketing staff members and also relies on interns to help manage the work involved with an active social media marketing strategy. They have also found success by leveraging employees outside of the marketing department to participate in social media. For example, account managers use LinkedIn for personal branding and also blog on a monthly basis.

Question 1 Please could you tell me the normal range of values for the liver function test serum alkaline phosphatase. The only mention of the parameters is that a reading of 1000 serious liver condition.

Question 2 What is the best single test of liver function to exclude liver cell failure in the routine work-up of a patient with early dementia?

Question 3 How valuable is the measurement of the liver span in a physical examination?

Question 4 Why has the term 'chronic liver disease' replaced terms such as 'chronic hepatitis'? What exactly does this new term mean and what conditions does it cover?

Question 5 Can jaundice occur early in schistosomal hepatic fibrosis and, if so, how?

Question 6 My patient has been found to have a serum bilirubin of 34 μmol/L (2 mg/dL) on three occasions. The other liver tests are normal. He tells me he has Gilbert's disease; how can I prove this?

Question 7 Why is urinary urobilinogen increased in haemolytic jaundice? If the bilirubin in this condition is unconjugated, how does it reach the terminal ileum to be converted into urobilinogen?

Question 8 How does cholestatic jaundice affect the kidney?

Question 9 What is the mechanism by which cholestatic jaundice causes bradycardia?

Question 10 Are 'jaundice' and 'icterus' one and the same? I was taught that icterus is yellowing of the sclera, while jaundice is yellowing of the skin and the mucous membranes. As a result, carotenaemia can produce jaundice but not icterus: is this so? I would be grateful if you would clarify this for me.
