Module 22: Advanced Blood Chemistry

Pre-Test

1
 Completed the Pre-Test.

 

The purpose of the pretest is to see how much you know about a topic from the start. The results will help you to determine where to focus your energy in studying.

The test is not graded. You will never be “penalized” even if you get nothing correct. If desired (and you want to reveal the correct answers), you can repeat the pre-test as many times as you wish.

I repeat for the perfectionists: This is a learning tool only; no grading!

 

Pre-Test:

#1. High hs-CRP is associated with sudden cardiac death and peripheral arterial disease.
#2. __________ measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube that contains a blood sample.
#3. Low levels of Lp(a) increase risk of heart attack, stroke, blood clots, fatty build-up in veins artery coronary bypass.
#4. High levels of Aminoterminal Pro-bran Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) is linked to a higher risk of heart and blood vessel disease.
#5. There is no test of choice for acute myocardial infarction.
#6. Elevated OxLDL increases risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
#7. Too much fibrinogen protein in the blood increases your risk of a heart attack.
#8. Global Risk Score is a tool to rate risk of developing heart disease or having a heart attack within the next 10 years.
#9. Calcium CT Score images the coronary arteries and detects plaque buildup
#10. _______ is found in 30% of people with lupus and suggests more serious lupus, such as lupus nephritis.
#11. Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo has a ‘5 Part Framework for Reversing Autoimmunity’.
#12. Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is also known as human herpesvirus 4.
#13. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpes-type virus and can cause unexplained jaundice or anemia.
#14. _________ Lyme disease testing is more sensitive and specific for Lyme disease, especially in early or late stage when antibody levels are very low.
#15. Interleukins is a group of cytokines that regulate immune functions and inflammation.
#16. The most commonly used lipid maker of oxidative stress is malondialdehyde (MDA).
#17. There is emerging evidence of a link between lipid imbalances and increased risk of cancer.
#18. There are cancer genetic risk markers for estrogen metabolites.
#19. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genetic markers for breast cancer.
#20. Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) attack the nucleus and a trigger for autoimmune disorders
#21. The most important anemia blood markers are RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, and RDW.
#22. When anemia markers show high iron, low ferritin, suspect low melatonin.
#23. Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Folate are methylation nutrients.
#24. Ceruloplasmin is decreased when copper storage is decreased.
#25. High triglycerides with relation to HDL is usually indicative of insulin resistance.
#26. Cholesterol : HDL, every increase of 1 above 3 is said to increase cardiovascular risk by 63%.
#27. High Free T3: Reverse T3 ratio is not clinically significant.
#28. High Serum iron: Low hemoglobin ratio suggests vitamin B6 deficiency
#29. High triglycerides with relation to HDL is usually indicative of insulin resistance.
#30. High Free T3 : Reverse T3 ratio is not clinically significant.
#31. Low AST : ALT ratio suggests vitamin B6 deficiency.
#32. Low Calcium: Albumin ratio is generally not significant but could be vitamin D or calcium deficiency.
#33. Great Plains Toxin (toxic non-metal chemicals) screens for 172 toxic chemicals in a single urine sample.
#34. Glutathione, NAC, and niacin support the removal of toxic non-metal chemicals.
#35. Great Plains MycoTox panel screens for 11 mycotoxins from 13 mold types and 40 species of mold.
#36. Use antifungals to remove any molds colonizing the GI tract, lungs, or sinuses.
#37. Mold exposures occur in damp areas.
#38. Glyphosate is only dangerous to the microbiome.
#39. Glyphosate weakens bones.
