Increased glucose can indicate conditions like diabetes while decreased levels may signal hypoglycemia or infections.
Liver function tests can detect, distinguish, and monitor various types of liver disease. Tests are grouped based on the liver's excretory, metabolic, detoxification, storage and synthetic functions. Enzyme tests like ALT and AST indicate hepatocyte damage, while elevated ALP and GGT suggest cholestasis. Protein tests such as albumin, PT and AFP evaluate synthetic function. Bilirubin, bile salts and dye excretion tests examine excretory function. Together these tests provide insight into liver health and disease categories.
Automation in clinical biochemistry provides several benefits such as reducing workload, increasing throughput, improving accuracy, and eliminating human error. There are various steps in automated analysis including sample collection, identification, delivery, preparation, and analysis. Automation uses laboratory instruments and equipment to perform assays with minimal human involvement. Common types of automated analyzers are continuous flow analyzers, discrete analyzers, batch analyzers, and random access analyzers. Automation allows for processing of larger sample volumes and multiple tests per sample.

This document summarizes the estimation of serum total cholesterol using the CHOD-PAP method. It describes the principle of the assay which involves hydrolysis of cholesterol esters by cholesterol esterase to free cholesterol, oxidation of free cholesterol by cholesterol oxidase, and reaction of hydrogen peroxide with 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol to form a colored quinoneimine dye. The absorbance of this dye is directly proportional to the total cholesterol concentration in the sample. Causes, clinical significance, and normal ranges of hypercholesterolemia and hypocholesterolemia are also briefly discussed.
Aminoaciduria is a protein metabolism disorder where excess amino acids are present in the urine. It occurs when more than 5% of filtered amino acids are excreted in the urine instead of being reabsorbed by the kidneys. Aminoaciduria can be caused by defects in renal reabsorption, increased amino acid levels in the blood overwhelming reabsorption capacity, or abnormal excretion of amino acid byproducts. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include dietary restrictions, increased fluid intake, or medications to help the kidneys clear excess amino acids.

Hypertension and it's role of physiotherapy in it.Vishal kr Thakur
This particular slides consist of- what is hypertension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

Exploring the Benefits of Binaural Hearing: Why Two Hearing Aids Are Better T...Ear Solutions (ESPL)
Binaural hearing using two hearing aids instead of one offers numerous advantages, including improved sound localization, enhanced sound quality, better speech understanding in noise, reduced listening effort, and greater overall satisfaction. By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.

Can Allopathy and Homeopathy Be Used Together in India.pdfDharma Homoeopathy
This article explores the potential for combining allopathy and homeopathy in India, examining the benefits, challenges, and the emerging field of integrative medicine.
2. • Plasma refers to the fluid portion of anticoagulant added
blood after cells are removed by centrifugation
• Serum is the fluid component of blood after it is allowed to
clot
3.
4. Albumin
Most abundant plasma protein (~50%)
Synthesized by hepatocytes
Single polypeptide - 66 kDa
High no. of charged AA results in ↑ solubility
Plasma half life – 15 to 19 days
Acts as a transporter and major component of
colloid osmotic pressure (oncotic pressure)
5. Globulins
Heterogeneous family of proteins
Mol weight: 12-900 kDa
Less water soluble than albumin
Types
Alpha (α) :
α1 (α1-antitrypsin, α1-acid glycoprotein, HDL)
α2 (Haptoglobin, α2-macroglobulin, Ceruloplasmin)
Beta (β) :
β1 (Transferrin,C4,LDL)
β2 (C3, β2-microglobulin)
Gamma (γ) : Immunoglobulins, C-reactive protein
6. Methods of Protein Estimation
Copper based
– Biuret assay (Biuret reagent)
– Lowry assay (Folin-Ciocaltau reagent)
– BCA assay (Bi-Cinchoninic Acid reagent)
Dye based
– Bradford assay
7. Principle
Compounds with 2 or more peptide bonds,
react with CuSO4 in alkaline conditions to
produce a complex which is violet to blue
colored.
13. Bromo-Cresol Green Method
(Albumin analysis)
• BCG reagent at pH 4.3 is negatively charged
• pI of Albumin is 4.7
• Bromocresol green binds quantitatively with
albumin to from an intense bluegreen
• complex with an absorbance max at 670 nm.

17. A-G Ratio
Direct:
Albumin (A) & Globulins (G) in the serum sample
are separated & determined separately
Indirect:
Serum total protein: Biuret reaction
Serum albumin: Bromocresol Green (BCG)
Serum globulin = Serum total protein - Serum
albumin
18. Hypoproteinemia
Hypoproteinemia is serum protein level < 6.7 g/dL
↓ (A/G)
↑ Loss
• Renal disorders(e.g. nephrotic syndrome)
↓ Synthesis
• Chronic liver disease(cirrhosis)
↑ (A/G)
• Due to decrease in globulin
• Agammaglobulinemia/
• hypogammaglobulinemia
19. Hyperproteinemia
Hyperproteinemia is serum protein level > 8.3 g/dL
Normal (A/G)
• Relative hyperproteinemia
• Dehydration
↓ (A/G)
• Due to increase in globulin
• Chronic infections
• Malignant proliferation of plasma cells -
e.g.myeloma
