major crossmatching:
a test used to assess if there are antibodies in the recipient’s plasma (naturally occurring or induced) against the donor’s RBCs.
minor crossmatching:

packed RBCs
fresh frozen plasma
platelet-rich plasma
what does PCR stand for?
polymerase chain reaction
what is a PCR
A technique where a suspected target segment(s) or sequence of DNA, is searched for in a sample, and, if present, is cloned (amplified) into thousands or millions of copies.
what does ELISA stand for
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
T/F: ELISA have extremely few false positives
true
specificity:
a measure of a test’s ability to correctly test negative when the patient is truly negative
sensitivity:
a measure of a test’s ability to correctly identify all the positive animals as positive
liver analyte-hepatic disease
alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
Abnormal elevations in ALT are more specific for liver disease, especially in dogs and cats.
is more “liver” specific than other enzymes like AST and can also be interpreted in conjunction with CPK levels to differentiate between liver and muscle sources that are “leaking” this enzyme.
liver analyte-hepatic disease
aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
a “leakage” enzyme present in highest concentrations in liver and muscle (cardiac and skeletal) which can become elevated from trauma to hepatocytes or muscle. It is less specific than ALT for liver disease.
liver analytes-Hepatobiliary Disease:
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT)
a serum enzyme that becomes elevated with cholestasis (impaired bile flow) and other hepatobiliary disease. GGT is present in several tissues, including bile duct and gall bladder cells.
liver analytes-Hepatobiliary Disease:
alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
Increases in ALP can also occur from hyperadrenocorticism, active bone growth in young pets, bone remodeling after bone injury, induction by drugs, and numerous non-specific conditions.
liver analyte- hepatic functions
albumin
making up about 40% of the serum plasma proteins, this protein is produced by the liver and will measure above normal when the patient is dehydrated
