Exam Materials

Course Introduction

Pathology is the study of the mechanisms, causes, and effects of diseases, providing a critical foundation for understanding how normal physiological processes are altered in illness. This course covers major topics such as cellular injury, inflammation, neoplasia, hemodynamic disorders, genetic and immune factors in disease, and the pathology of key organ systems. Through lectures, case studies, and laboratory experience, students gain insight into the structural and functional changes associated with various diseases, preparing them for clinical decision-making and research in medical and allied health professions.

C) porphobilinogens.

D) heme precursors.

Q2) An individual with jaundice reports to the emergency department with symptoms of an acute porphyric attack,including severe abdominal pain,pain in her thighs,vomiting,and muscle weakness.A hepatitis screen is negative and unconjugated bilirubin and urobilinogen are increased.Your laboratory receives a dark orange-colored urine sample for qualitative PBG analysis,results of which are difficult to interpret.When you contact the physician with this information,the physician informs you that this patient is an alcohol abuser and asks you to run a quantitative urine porphyrin analysis.Results of this analysis show an increased uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin III.Why was the PBG difficult to interpret?

A) In individuals with congenital erythrocytic porphyria,PBG is negative.

B) There was interference from elevated urobilinogen in the urine sample.

C) PBG only demonstrates an increase in fecal samples,not in urine.

D) Alcohol in the urine sample produced a false-negative value for PBG.

Q1) A 55-year-old man is taken to a hospital emergency department by helicopter following a rural automobile accident that occurred approximately 3 hours ago.The man,who is having difficulty speaking to the EMTs,is clutching his chest.Upon the man's arrival,the emergency room physician orders a cardiac marker panel that includes serum CK,CK-2 (CK-MB),troponin,and myoglobin.The CK-2 value was less than 2% of total CK,which was slightly increased; troponin was normal; and the myoglobin was increased 3 times the upper limit of normal.The physician has asked the laboratory to explain the findings.Which of the following represents the lab's explanation?

A) The assays used to determine these results were nonspecific and not sensitive enough to detect the troponin.

B) Trauma caused by the accident with possible crush injury to the chest caused elevated myoglobin with normal troponin and CK-MB.

C) The use of serum as a specimen interfered with troponin and CK-MB immunoassays giving falsely low results.
