This document discusses organ function tests, focusing on tests of thyroid, liver, and kidney function. It provides details on the purpose of these tests, what substances are measured, and what normal and abnormal results may indicate. Thyroid function tests measure TSH, T3, and T4 to diagnose hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Liver function tests measure enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin to assess liver health. Kidney function tests check how well the kidneys clear waste from the blood by measuring substances such as creatinine and urea.
The liver is the largest organ in the body
It is located below the diaphragm in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity and extended approximately from the right 5th rib to the lower border of the rib cage.

Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.
Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of living things. This includes organic molecules and their chemical reactions.
Biochemistry deals with body substance like enzymes, carbohydrates, amino acids, fats, proteins, hormones, DNA, RNA, pigments etc.
The major objective of biochemistry is the complete understanding of all chemical processes associated with living cells at the molecular level. Some of the objectives can be listed as follows:
1. Isolation, structural elucidation and the determination of mode of action of biomolecules.
2. Identification of disease mechanisms.
3. Study of in born errors of metabolism.
4. Study of oncogenes in cancer cells.
5. The relationship of biochemistry with the genetics, physiology, immunology, pharmacology, toxicology etc.
Biochemistry is related to almost all the life sciences and without biochemistry background and knowledge, a through understanding of health and well-being is not possible.
Liver function tests are recommended in the following situations
To check dage from liver infections (hepatitis)
To monitor the side effects of certain medications that affect liver
In alcohol consumers
If already have a liver disease , to monitor the disease
For gall bladder disease
Person experiencing symptoms of liver disorder
What is liver:-
The liver is located in the right upper portion of the abdominal cavity just beneath the rib cage.If the liver is swollen, through inflammation or disease, it can swell out from under the ribs and make your tummy swollen.
The liver has many functions that are vital to life. Briefly, some of the important functions of the human liver are:-
Functions of liver :-
Detoxification of blood
•Production of important clotting factors , albumin, and many other important proteins
•Metabolizing (processing) medications and nutrients
•Processing of waste products of haemoglobin and other cells
•Storing of Vitamin K, Vitamin A , Vitamin D Iron ,copper, fat, cholesterol, and bile
•Glycogen (a carbohydrate energy store), which it makes from glucose.
•Glucose, made and released into the blood from glycogen, proteins and fats.
•Many essential proteins and amino acids .
Many of the clotting factors that help your blood to clot normally.
•Plays a part in red blood cell production.
•Albumin, the main protein in your blood, which bulks out your serum and enables it to carry essential substances around the body.
• Angiotensinogen, which plays a role in blood pressure control
Role of liver:-
The role of the liver is to keep the body’s complex internal chemistry in balance. It takes raw nutrients from our digestive system (in the form of carbohydrates, protein, amino acids, etc.) and processes them so they can be stored and sent to different parts of our body in the right form and quantity.
The liver regulates the level of sugars in our blood and manufactures bile (which breaks down fats in our stomach). It also helps remove toxins, drugs and hormones from our bloodstream.
What are liver function tests :
Liver function tests (also known as a liver panel) are blood tests that measure different enzymes, proteins, and other substances made by the liver and monitor liver disease or damage. An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the level of certain liver enzymes (proteins) in the blood.
A liver function test (LFT) is a blood test that gives an indication of whether the liver is functioning properly. The test is also very useful to see if there is active damage in the liver (hepatitis) or sluggish bile flow (cholestasis).
Liver function tests measure the amount of particular chemicals in the blood. This gives a gauge of possible damage to liver cells - damage that can be caused by many things including HCV. So a more correct term for a liver test would actually be a liver dysfunction test
Your liver does all kinds of work that’s crucial for your health. It helps break down food, clean your blood, make proteins, and store energy.
Why perform LFT:-
A variety of diseases and infections can cause acute or chronic damage to the liver, causing inflammation, scarring, bile duct obstructions, clotting abnormalities, and liver dysfunction. Alcohol, drugs, some herbal supplements, and toxins can also pose a threat.
Liver function tests (LFTs) are a group of blood tests that detect inflammation and damage to the liver.
They can also check how well the liver is working.
Many tests can be performed to check liver abnormalities are :
Serum bilirubin
Urine bilirubin
Serum alanine transaminase (ALT)
Serum aspartate transaminase (AST)
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
Serum total protein and albumin
Blood test normal values and it's importanceGOPAL KHODVE
Laboratory tests check a sample of your blood, urine, or body tissues. A technician or your doctor analyzes the test samples to see if your results fall within the normal range. The tests use a range because what is normal differs from person to person. Many factors affect test results. These include
Your sex, age and race
What you eat and drink
Medicines you take
How well you followed pre-test instructions
Your doctor may also compare your results to results from previous tests. Laboratory tests are often part of a routine checkup to look for changes in your health. They also help doctors diagnose medical conditions, plan or evaluate treatments, and monitor diseases.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
3. INTRODUCTION
Organ function tests are the test of the major
organs, which help in maintaining the normal
functioning of the body.
Various biochemical tests are carried out to assess
whether particular organ is functioning normally or
not.
These include liver function tests (LFTs), renal
function tests (RFTs) and thyroid function tests.
4. Thyroid function tests
(TFTs)
Thyroid hormones play a key role in metabolism
and general functioning of the body.
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) regulates the
thyroid hormones production.
Hyperthyroidism and hypo can be diagnosed by
TFTs in which TSH is important
5. Thyroid ……
Thyroid hormone secreted by thyroid are T3 and T4,
thyroxine
Necessary for proper functioning of all cells and for all
biological processes.
Thyroid hormones are derived from tyrosine by iodination.
Thyroid hormone secretion is stimulated by pituitary
thyrotropic hormone.
TSH binds to receptors on thyroid cells and stimulates all
steps in production and secretion of hormone.
13. LIVER FUNCTION TESTS
(also known as a liver panel) are blood tests
that measure different enzymes, proteins,
and other substances made by the liver.
These tests check the overall health of your
14. WHEN IT IS DONE ………
A liver function test is often given in the following
situations: to screen for liver infections, such as hepatitis C
To monitor the side effects of certain medications known
to affect the liver
If you already have a liver disease, to monitor the disease
and how well a particular treatment is working
To measure the degree of scarring (cirrhosis) on the liver
If you’re experiencing the symptoms of a liver disorder
15. Commonly
used tests
to check
liver
function are
the alanine
transaminas
e (ALT),
aspartate
aminotransf
erase (AST),
alkaline
phosphatas
e (ALP),
albumin,
and bilirubin
tests
18. MEASUREMENT OF BILIRUBIN
is a yellowish pigment that is made during the
breakdown of red blood cells.
Bilirubin passes through the liver and is eventually
excreted out of the body.
19. What causes high bilirubin levels
(hyperbilirubinemia)?
Bilirubin might build up in your blood if:
Your body breaks down too many red blood cells too
fast. You might be overproducing bilirubin if you have a
blood disorder, such as hemolytic anemia, that destroys
red blood cells.
Your liver is struggling to process its normal load of
bilirubin. Your liver might struggle with occasional toxic
overload, or it might have a chronic liver disease that
affects its functioning.
Your biliary system isn’t clearing bile efficiently. There
might be a blockage in your bile ducts or your gallbladder
that’s causing bile to back up and leak into your
bloodstream.
20. What causes low bilirubin levels
(hypobilirubinemia)?
Certain medications can lower your bilirubin levels,
including antibiotics, birth control pills, sleeping pills and
seizure medications. Low levels aren’t generally a cause
for concern.
23. RENAL OR KIDNEY
FUNCTION TEST
Kidney function tests measure how efficiently your kidneys are
working.
Most of these tests check how well your kidneys clear waste
from your system.
24. What do your kidneys do?
Your kidneys are part of your urinary system.
They help your body filter waste materials and expel
them as urine.
Your kidneys are also vital for producing:
Hormones that maintain blood pressure.
Red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your
body.
Vitamin D, which maintains bone and muscle health.
25. Why might I need a kidney function test?
Some conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure
(hypertension), affect how well the kidneys work. If you have one of
these conditions, your healthcare provider may use kidney function
tests to help monitor these conditions.
You may also need a kidney function test if you have symptoms that
indicate possible kidney problems. These symptoms might include:
Blood in your urine (hematuria).
Painful urination (dysuria).
Frequent urge to urinate.
Problems with starting to pee.
27. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Volume: The average output of urine is about 1.5 liters per day.
Appearance: Clear: Normal urine is straw colored.

28. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Odor: Normal urine has a faintly aromaticsmell due to presence of
volatile organicacids.
Urine in diabetic Keto acidosis may have fruity odor due to
acetone.
Color: Normal urine is straw-colored (amber yellow) due to the
pigment, urochrome.
Presence of bilirubin makes urine yellow in jaundiced patients.
Specific gravity: Normal specific gravity ofurine is 1.015-1.025.
