SIGNIFICANCE:
This test to screen for liver damage or to help diagnose liver disease. ALT test measures the level
of alanine aminotransference, also called ALT or SGPT. ALT is one of the enzymes that help the
liver convert food into energy. High levels of these enzymes can be a sign that the liver is injured
or irritated, and the enzymes are leaking out of the liver cells.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Glomerulo disease also interferes with the clearance of waste product by the kidney, so they
begin to build up in the blood. Loss of Albumin in the urine can result in a fall in their level in
the bloodstream. In normal blood, albumin acts like a sponge, drawing extra fluid from the body
into the bloodstream, where it remains until the kidney’s remove it. But when the albumin leaks
extra fluid from the body . fluid can accumulate outside the circulatory system in the face, hands,
feet, ankles and cause swelling.

Blood Test
- these can provide information about kidney damage and impairment of the glomeruli by
measuring levels of waste products, such as creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Low
lymphocytes means that the patient is susceptible to infection. It is beyond the normal range thus,
it may indicate a high level of stress that is placed on the body. the stress can due to many factors
such as nervousness, exercise, or seizures (involuntary muscle movements due to overexcitement
of nerve cells in the brain). Another cause is a sudden infection from bacteria. Damage or
inflammation of tissue can also lead to high neutrophil count.
C. Specific Test

The 24 hour urine protein excretion and creatinine clearance is helpful to document the degree
of renal dysfunction and proteinuria.

SIGNIFICANCE:
The 24 hour urine protein test checks how much protein is being spilled into the urine, which can
help detect disease it is given to a patient who have symptoms of glomerulonephritis.
Patients with glomerular disease have significant amounts of protein in the urine, which may be
referred to as “nephrotic range” if levels are very high. Red blood cells in the urine are a frequent
finding as well, particularly in some forms of glomerular disease.
URINALYSIS
MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION
Color Straw
Transparency Hazy
A urinalysis might show red blood cells and red blood cells casts in your urine, an indicator
of possible damage to the glomeruli. Urinalysis result might show white bood cells a common
indicator of infection or inflammation and in increased protein, which can indicate nephron
damage.

SIGNIFICANCE:
A blood gas test measures the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. It may also be
used to determine the pH of the blood, or how acidic it is. The test is commonly known as a
blood gas analysis or arterial blood gas (ABG) test. Your red blood cells transport oxygen and
carbon dioxide throughout your body. These are known as blood gases. As blood passes through
your lungs, oxygen flows into the blood while carbon dioxide flows out of the blood into the
lungs. The blood gas test can determine how well your lungs are able to move oxygen into the
blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The antistreptolysin O (ASO) test is a blood test that checks for a strep infection. When you
come into contact with harmful bacteria, your body produces antibodies to defend itself against
these bacteria. Your body produces antibodies specific to the bacteria they fight. The ASO titer
test measures antibodies produced by your body in response to a toxin known as streptolysin O.
Streptolysin O is a toxin produced by group A Streptococcus (GAS) bacteria. Your body makes
the antistreptolysin O antibodies when you have a strep infection caused by GAS bacteria.

ANTI- NUCLEAR ANTIBODY TEST
SPECIMEN: SERUM
TEST METHOD: IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE
RESULT:
NEGATIVE FOR ANTI-NUCLER ANTIBODY
POSITIVE FOR ANTI-NUCLEAR ANTIBODY
TITER DETECTION THRESHOLD:
1:160
REMARKS:
Please correlate clinically for appropriate interpretation of result.
The above ANA Pattern is observed in the following disease/s.
Systemic Lupus Erythemathosus Dermatomyositis
Sjogren’s Syndrome Rheumatoid Arthritis
Autoimmune Hepatitis Scleroderma
CRESTSyndrome Limited Scleroderma
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease Non- specific
Polymyositis
Juvenile Idiopathic Hepatitis
SIGNIFICANCE:
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) refer to the unusual antibodies that are detectable in the blood.
ANA are gamma-globulins type of antibodies that are found in patients with certain autoimmune
diseases. ANA are directed against certain components found in the nucleus of a cell in the body.
These antibodies have the capacity of binding certain structures within the nucleus of the cells.
Positive ANA test result is suggestive of autoimmune disease. It can also mean that the patient
has drug induced lupus. Some drugs and infections can also induce false positive ANA test
results. Steroids can cause a false-negative result.
D. Imaging Dx
SIGNIFICANCE:
A pelvic ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to make pictures of the organs inside your
pelvis. Your doctor might order this test to diagnose a condition. Find problems with the
structure of your uterus or ovaries. Look for cancer in your ovaries, uterus, or bladder.
Find an intrauterine device (IUD). Look for growths like noncancerous tumors, fibroids, or cysts.
Discover the cause of abnormal bleeding or pain

Borderline ECG
Unconfirmed Report
SIGNIFICANCE:
Electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, shows
abnormal heart rhythms, and detects heart muscle damage.
An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a test that records the electrical impulses of the heart. It assesses
heart rhythm, chamber size, and muscle thickness.
CHEST PA
RESULTS:
Crowding of Pulmonary vascular marking due to poor inspiratory effort.
A linear opacity is seen in the right middle lung zone.
Trachea is at the midline.
Heart is not enlarged.
Hemidiaphragms are smooth.
Indistinct right costophrenic angle.
Other chest structures are unremarkable.
REMARKS:
SUBSEGMENTAL ATELECTASIS VS. FIBROSIS, RIGHT.
RIGHT MINIMAL PLEURAL EFFUSION.
SIGNIFICANCE:
To diagnose a wide range of injuries and conditions affecting the organs and bones in the chest.
It also to determine the underlying causes of symptoms such as chest pain of shortness of breath
or to monitor a condition that may be worsening such as fluid in the fluids.
Assess for a pulmonary- renal syndrome or a pulmonary complication of the glomerular disease
that would influence management. A routine chest X-ray is warranted for any patient presenting
with glomerular disease to search for a pulmonary- renal syndrome, and especially if the patient
has pulmonary symptoms, abnormal lung findings on physical exam or has a low oxygen
saturation by pulse oximeter.
