True False A patient who has a low bicarbonate level will also have a low potassium level. Causes of low albumin include low protein intake, infection, proteinuria and severe liver disease. Inaccurate handling of the blood specimen can result in a falsely low PTH. In a patient on hemodialysis, a potassium level of 6.0 is acceptable. An excessive intake of meat will result in higher levels of BUN, phosphorus and potassium. In a patient without kidney function, hyperglycemia will be accompanied by hypokalemia. A patient with access problems is likely to have increased levels of potassium, BUN, creatinine…arrow_forwardTools Window Help zm Module 4 - Interpreting Labs.pd X CB CastleBranch Login x Merged-TDL-Files--2024103012280X pl Dietetic Prac Halk6uo8tbjf.cloudfront.net/68f85c32-16e5-11ef-925e-aaa4f1cd8999?response-content-disposition=inlin - + 90% CASE STUDIES-DISCUSSION Case 1 His lower BUN, K+ and phosphorus are consistent with his reported decrease in intake due to the flu. His high calcium level is a consequence of taking his prescribed amount of PhosLo while eating less food. Thus, he absorbed more calcium from his phosphate binder. In this patient, with adynamic bone disease (low PTH without IV vitamin D therapy), he is unable to deposit calcium in his bones, so serum level rose quickly. PhosLo was held and the next week his calcium was 11.0 and phosphorus 5.8. Other possibilities for a rise in calcium might be that patient took Tums (or another calcium-containing antacid) because of the flu or heartburn; took phosphate binders between meals rather than with meals; was consuming…arrow_forward
