Liver injury labs are as follows ammonia levels, INR, fibrinogen, glucose, and lactate. Other abs include Alanine transaminase (ALT): 0 to 55 units per liter (U/L) Aspartate transaminase (AST): 0 to 48 U/L. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): 30 to 129 U/L. Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT): 8 to 61 U/L. Bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Prothrombin

Appropriate Blood Tests for Suspected Acute Liver Injury      The liver plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis, and when acute injury occurs, a thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the extent of damage and underlying cause. Blood tests are essential in assessing liver function, hepatocellular integrity, and potential viral infections. The primary tests ordered for

Recent milestones in the understanding of gastric acid secretion and treatment of acid-peptic disorders include the discovery of histamine H2-receptors and development of histamine H2-receptor antagonists, identification of H+K+-ATPase as the parietal cell proton pump and development of proton pump inhibitors, and identification of Helicobacter pylori as the major cause of duodenal ulcer and development

 Gastric Acid Secretion and Its Regulation       Gastric acid secretion is regulated by a complex interplay of neural, hormonal, and paracrine pathways. The primary stimuli include acetylcholine (ACh), gastrin, and histamine. Acetylcholine, released by the vagus nerve, directly stimulates parietal cells to secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl). Gastrin, produced by G cells in the antrum of the
