Wow,
Mr. Weiser's labs really suck. Things definitely point to a problem
with his liver. (Review his Labs?)
-
Which labs tell us about the
state of health of his biliary tree?
-
Liver parenchyma?
-
What's the scoop with his PT?
-
If his total bilrubin is so
high, why's his direct bilirubin only minimally elevated?
-
Given the elevation of his total
bilirubin, why's there no urobilinogen in the urine?
-
What happened to his electrolytes?
-
Is the elevated cholesterol
part of his liver problem?
-
What's with his hemoglobin,
HCT and MCV?
-
Positive occult blood in the
stool.
-
And if that's not enough, this
guy actually presents with a measurable blood alcohol. What does this tell
us?
How can we take a peak
at his liver?
