Serum ferritin is a good indicator of iron deficiency. However, it acts like an acute phase reactant, being elevated in a large number of conditions. Patients who have iron deficiency as well as another condition that elevates serum ferritin levels may therefore have normal or even elevated serum ferritin levels.

Which one of the following statements about serum ferritin are true:

Molarity x Molecular Weight x Volume = Grams

Molecular Weight (aka Formula Weight) =

2(1) + 32 + 4(16) = 98

So, 4 x 98 x 0.2L = 78.4g

Vitamin K dependent factors are those that require Vitamin K for their synthesis in the liver. Vitamin K is an important factor to gamma-glutamyl carboxylase which adds a carboxyl group to glutamic acid residues on factors II, VII, IX and X, as well as Protein S, Protein C. In adding the gamma-carboxyl group to glutamate residues on the immature clotting factors Vitamin K is itself oxidized. Deficiency of Vitamin K due to malabsorption, liver disease, etc. may contribute to bleeding disorders because clotting factor maturation depends on Vitamin K.

Which of these coagulation factors are referred to as "vitamin-K dependent?"

Which of these advancements in the clinical laboratory has led to concerns about patient privacy
