數據的利用
臨床數據的用途有二:
幫助醫師確定疾病的種類
-- 可作為臨床診斷的依據。
幫忙醫師了解疾病的進行情況
-- 可作為判定治療效果或預後的指標。
數據能否發揮其用途,端賴醫師能否正確地判斷。
2
數據的正常值
一般說來,實驗室檢查所得到的結果大致遵循著「常態
分佈」(Normal distribution),因此可用多次測定所得
到的「平均值」及「標準偏差」(Standard deviation)
來表達「數值的正常值」。
在常態分布區線上,屬於「平均值 1 標準偏差」之間
的面積為68%,屬於「平均值 2 標準偏差」之間的面
積為95.4%。
如果某一數值落於「 2 標準偏差」之區域外,它可能
不屬於「正常」,須加以注意。
影響正常值的因素:年齡、性別、生活環境、飲食習慣、
檢驗方法。
3
正常值的分佈
正常值是根據多數健康者為對象施行測定所得到的數值
而求得的,並非都呈示均等的分佈,可呈現兩種型式:
左右對稱,「一般的常態分佈」 例如 albumin、Na。
左右不對稱,「對數的常態分佈」
亦即將橫軸上的數值換為對數之後,就變為左右對稱型
的常態分佈了。 例如 GOT、amylase。
4
檢驗數據的判讀
對於檢驗數據本身的判讀,必須根據:
(1)該項目之正常生化學性質、新陳代謝狀況及生理機能
(2)該項目在病態情況下可能發生的性質、代謝、機能之
變化情形及其與病變或病徵之關係
第一個原則:時時將實驗室檢驗結果與病人呈現的臨床
病徵綜合在一齊考慮。
第二個原則:儘可能將數種檢驗數值綜合一齊考慮。

用於評估可能罹患全身性紅斑性狼瘡症病人的
檢驗項目中:
ANA的靈敏度是 99% 而特定度為 80%,
狼瘡細胞檢查的靈敏度是 76% 而特定度為 80%,
Anti-nDNA抗體的靈敏度是 73% 而特定度為 99%,
Anti-Sm抗體的靈敏度是 30% 而特定度是 99%。
12
全身性紅斑性狼瘡症
Systemic lupus erythematosus
由上述的各項檢驗的性質來看
最初用以評估病人的檢驗最好是
抗核抗體 ANA (靈敏度是 99% 特定度為 80%)
此項檢查的目的是刪除可能性較低的疾病,
它的高靈敏度可以幫助醫師達到這個目的。
13
全身性紅斑性狼瘡症
Systemic lupus erythematosus
如果抗核抗體ANA呈現陽性
進一步應該施行的檢驗是
Anti- nDNA (靈敏度是 73% 特定度為 99%)
因為此時所需的檢查是能夠用以確定疾病
存在的高特定度檢查。
14
全身性紅斑性狼瘡症
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Anti-Sm 的特定度雖然很高,但靈敏度
太低 (靈敏度是 30% 特定度是 99% ),一部分
病人可能無法用此項檢驗偵查出來,所以
不是十分理想的檢查。
可用來輔助確認紅斑性狼瘡的診斷。

數據的單位
The standardized system that has been adopted by many
countries throughout the world is the System International
(SI) units of measure.
The SI is an outgrowth of the metric system.
The basic underlying reasons for a change to SI units is that
biological substances react in vivo on a molar basis.

40
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
The BUN measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood.
Urea is formed in the liver as the end product of protein
metabolism and digestion.
During ingestion, protein is broken down into amino acids.
In the liver these amino acids are catabolized and free ammonia is
formed. The ammonia molecules are combined to form urea,
which is then deposited in the blood and transported to the
kidneys for excretion.
BUN is directly related to the metabolic function of the liver and
the excretory function of the kidney.
Normal range of BUN: 7-21 mg/dl.

Creatinine
Creatinine is a catabolic product of creatine phosphate, which
is used in skeletal muscle contraction.
The daily production creatine, and subsequently creatinine,
depends on muscle mass, which fluctuates very little.
Creatinine, as BUN, is excreted entirely by the kidneys and
therefore is directly proportional to renal excretory function.
There are slight increases in creatinine levels after meals,
especially after ingestion of large quantities of meat.
Normal range of creatinine:
Male: 0.7-1.5 (1.2) mg/dl
Female: 0.5-1.2 (0.9) mg/dl.

ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT)
AST and ALT activities are the most useful indicators of hepato-
cellular damage.
The absolute levels of aminotransferases correlate poorly with
severity of liver injury or prognosis, and serial determinations are
usually most helpful.
ALT is found predominantly in the liver; lesser quantities are found
in the kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle.
Injury or disease affecting the liver parenchyma will cause a release
of this hepatocellular enzyme into the blood stream.
In the hepatocyte, ALT is found exclusively in the cytosol.
54
ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT)
AST is present in many tissues including heart, skeletal
muscle, kidney, and brain and is thus somewhat less
specific as an indicator of live function.
Serum AST levels become elevated 8 hours after cell
injury, peak at 24 to 36 hours, and return to normal in 3 to
7 days. If the cellular injury is chronic, levels will be
persistently elevated.
AST exists in mitochondria and the cytosol.
Uremia may lead to spuriously low aminotransferase values.
55
AST (SGOT)
Normal range of AST (SGOT): 5.0-40.0 U/L.
Increased in
Heart diseases (e.g., myocardial infarction, myocarditis)
Liver diseases (e.g., hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, drug-
induced liver injury, hepatic tumor, hepatic necrosis)
Skeletal muscle diseases (e.g., skeletal muscle trauma,
severe burns, recent convulsion, myopathy, myositis)
Other diseases
Acute hemolytic anemia
Acute pancreatitis
56
ALT (SGPT)
Normal range of ALT (SGPT): ~ 55.0 U/L.
Increased in
Hepatitis, hepatic necrosis, hepatic ischemia
Hepatic tumor
Liver cirrhosis
Hepatotoxic drugs
Cholestasis, obstructive jaundice, cholangitis
Severe burns
Trauma to striated muscle, myositis
Myocardial infarction
Pancreatitis
57
Bilirubin
Bilirubin metabolism begins with the breakdown of RBCs in the
reticuloendothelial system (mostly the spleen).
Hemoglobin is released from RBCs and broken down to heme
and globin molecules.
Heme is then catabolized to form biliverdin, which is transformed
to bilirubin. This form of bilirubin is called unconjugated (indirect)
bilirubin.
In the liver, indirect bilirubin is conjugated with a glucuronide
molecule, resulting in conjugated (direct) bilirubin. The
conjugated bilirubin is then excreted from the liver cells and into
the bowel through biliary system
58
59
Bilirubin
Total bilirubin = Direct bilirubin + Indirect bilirubin
Normally the indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin makes up 70% to
85% of the total bilirubin.
In patients with jaundice, when more than 50% of the bilirubin is
direct (conjugated), it is considered a direct hyperbilirubinemia.
Indirect hyperbilirubinemia is diagnosed when less than 15% to
20% of the total bilirubin is direct bilirubin.
Direct bilirubin is water soluble and can be excreted into the urine.
Therefore bilirubin in urine suggests disease affecting bilirubin
metabolism after conjugation or defects in excretion (e.g., gall
stones).

Direct (Bil-D): - 0.4 mg/dl; Total (Bil-T): 0.2-1.4 mg/dl.

Interpretation of ABG (1)
•先評估 O2 saturation
•再用Henderson-Hasselbalch equation 驗算
1. Evaluate the pH
If the pH is < 7.35, acidosis is present
If the pH is > 7.45, alkalosis is present
2. Next look at the PCO2
A. If the PCO2 is high in a patient who has been said to have acidosis, the
patient has respiratory acidosis
B. If the PCO2 is low in a patient who has been said to have acidosis, the
patient has metabolic acidosis and is compensating for that situation
by blowing off CO2
C. If the PCO2 is low in a patient who has been said to have alkalosis, the
patient has respiratory alkalosis
D. If the PCO2 is high in a patient who has been said to have alkalosis, the
patient has metabolic alkalosis and is compensating for that situation
by retaining CO2 82
