Question 1

what if my a/g ratio is high?

Accepted Answer

Could mean nothing : A/g ratio could be related to your liver , or some medical disease.

Question 2

rapid change in bp what could it be?

Accepted Answer

BP Flucctuates norma: It is normal for BP to go up and down by 10-20 mm related to physical activity and emotional states. So you have to be calm and rested for 10-15 minutes before your BP would stabilize and that is the correct value. Get a baseline value by checking on 3 different days and then use the average value as your real BP for future reference.

Question 3

what's a pain rating scale used for?

Accepted Answer

Pain scale: This is a numerical scale from zero to ten. Based on the rating it allows us to develop a treatment plan and then use the scale to assess efficacy of treatment. It is quite accurate in acute pain but in chronic pain i find it quite useless.

Question 4

a/g ratio  1.0  should  be worried .

Accepted Answer

A/G ratio: Normal range is 1.5 for adults. If this ratio is less than 1.0 then there&#x27;s a concern for cirrhosis, Ulcerative colitis, Kidney disease, multiple myeloma, and burns. There&#x27;s a lot of factors that can affect this test. For example dehydration may cause your albumin levels to be lower than normal and that can affect this ratio. I would follow up with your PCP regarding this result.

Question 5

what do diet ratios like 40/30/30 mean?

Accepted Answer

Diet composition: "40:30:30" is the ratio of calories obtained daily from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, respectively popularized by the “zone diet” which is advertised widely. Most people who eat a balanced diet and burn more calories than they consume will lose weight.

Question 6

a/g ratio is 1.1, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Not especially: This question almost always arises when NO OTHER LAB VALUE IS OFF. So, questions of liver failure, blood cancer, loss of protein are just not issues. Other serious things would have many other signs/symptoms etc.

Question 7

what is appropriate weight for height ratio?

Accepted Answer

No longer used: Weight for height ratios are no longer the standard for assessing adiposity.  Bmi and waist circumference are. Please see this website: http://win.Niddk.Nih.Gov/publications/tools.Htm.

Question 9

what is the normal ivs to lvpw ratio? 1.3 and under for normal?

Accepted Answer

IVS/LVPW ratio: The normal value for  ivs/lvpw ratio should be between 1.0 and 1.2. A ratio of 1.3 is considered ash (asymmetric septal hypertrophy). The ratio that is seen with a significant shunt is 1.5.

Question 10

which route of drug administration has the most rapid onset of action ?

Accepted Answer

Depends on where...: The answer depends on where one wants the drug to go to. If one wants the drug to go all over the inside of the body, then IV is most rapid because the drug goes into the bloodstream directly, and the blood carries the drug everywhere.
