a)
Low blood glucose levels impair neural function, disrupting homeostasis
b)
Low blood glucose disrupts endothelial function resulting in perfuse vasodilation
c)
Hypoglycemia disrupts the normal rhythm of the SA node, causing tachycardia
d)
Hypoglycemia is perceived as a ‘stressor’ by the hypothalamus

The triathlon consisted of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run. He was so focused on winning the race. With 6 km left in the run, he felt very weak and light-headed and eventuallly collapsed. He was breathing so fast and was profusely sweating.

The consultingphysician recommended testing glucose and electrolytes. The results are attached in the picture below: (a) What is the difference between serum and plasma? (b) Describe the results (c) Plasma glucose levels lower than 20 mg/dl can be fatal. As the patient’s resultsdid not match with her clinical presentation, the consulting biochemist decidedto investigate this test, and found that the glucose analyser was giving theresults in mM, but the lab assistant had assumed the results were in mg/dl. Isthis error pre-analytical, analytical or post-analytical? (d) 1 mM glucose = 18 mg/dL glucose. What is the patient’s fasting plasmaglucose in mg/dL, and is it within the normal range? (e) Describe possible consequences of this error.arrow_forward
