MindMap Gallery Organ Function Tests
This mind map aims to explore the diverse range of organ function tests, mapping out the key organs that are commonly evaluated and the specific tests used to assess their functionality. By evaluating the levels of specific substances, enzymes, hormones, or other markers in the body, organ function tests help healthcare professionals gain a comprehensive understanding of organ health and identify any potential abnormalities.

A Metabolism of Xenobiotics (Detoxication) mind map is a visual representation that helps to explain and illustrate the process of detoxification. It involves breaking down harmful foreign substances, or xenobiotics, into non-toxic forms so they can be eliminated from the body. The mind map displays relevant information, such as different enzymes and pathways involved in the process. This tool is useful for providing an overall picture of how xenobiotics are processed in the body in order to facilitate a better understanding and management of drug toxicity. As you can see from the attached mind map, the metabolic detoxification of xenobiotics involves a series of biochemical reactions that convert foreign compounds into more easily excreted molecules. This process can be represented in the form of a mind map, where each reaction is represented as an individual node connected by arrows to other related nodes. The interconnected structure of this mindmap allows for easy navigation between related topics and provides a visual representation of the different steps involved in metabolic detoxification. EdrawMind is the best mind-mapping tool for creating similar mind maps.
Prostaglandins are a class of lipids that are derived from fatty acids and function as signaling molecules in the body. Their actions can be categorized into four main categories: regulating inflammatory responses, protecting cells from oxidative damage, participating in wound healing and tissue repair, and controlling vital functions like blood pressure, fertility, and labor. A mind map is an effective visual representation of the role of prostaglandins in these various areas. It typically consists of a central hub with branches radiating outward to organize identifying factors related to prostaglandins. Use EdrawMind to create similar mind maps for your personal and professional requirements.

Organ Function Tests
Renal Function test
Clearance test
Measure of GFR
Clearence of a substance is the volume of plasma required to completely cleared of a substance per minute
C=U x V/P
Creatinine clearance test
Normal vlaue
!20-145ml/min
More sensitive
Urea clearance test
Normal Vlaue-75 ml/min
Not as sensitive as creatinine clearance
Cystatin C
Biomarker of kidney function
Better indicator of kidney function thsn creatinine
Liver function test
Excretory, synthetic, metabolic, detoxication functions Etc.
Icterus index
Normal serum bilirubin conc.- 0.2-1mg/dl
Simple test to measure the yellow color of serum due to bilirubin
Rapid assessment of neonatal jaundice
van den Berg reaction
To identify increased serum bilirubin
Normal serum gives negative reaction
Mechanism
Sulphanilic acid+ sodium nitrite gives diazotised sulphanilic acid
combines with conjugated bilirubin to give purple color
Direct positive -Obstructive jaundice
Addition of methanoldissolves unconjugated bilirubin, and then color develops
Indirect positive
Hemolytic jaundice
Purple color produces immediately and intensified after the addition of methanol
Biphasic
Hepatic jaundice
Bromosulphthalein blue test
Excretory function of liver
Serum enzymes
Transaminases
Alanine transaminase-ALT (SGPT)
Aspartate transaminase-AST (SGOT)
Alkaline phosphatase
Indiacator of obstructive jaundice
Gamma-Glutamyl transpeptidase
Highly elevated in biliary obstruction ans alcoholism
5'-nucleotidase
Elevated in hepatobiliary diseases
Galactose tolerence test
Metabolic function of liver
Serum abumin
Synthetic function of liver
Prothrombin time
Synthetic function of liver
Hippuric acid test
Detoxication function of liver
