A 53-year-old male with past medical history of obesity (BMI of 38 kg/m​2​) and borderline diabetes presents to you with abnorma

l liver enzymes (ALT/AST) discovered 6 months ago. His family history is significant for liver cirrhosis. On physical examination you notice mild hepatomegaly (enlarged liver). A panel of lab tests revealed the following: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 106 (normal range 10 – 40 U/L), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 118 (normal range 7 – 56 U/L), with normal bilirubin (generated from the breakdown of hemoglobin). He had a liver ultrasonography that showed diffuse increase in echogenicity and vascular blurring consistent with fatty infiltration. You suspect ​nonalcoholic fatty liver disease​​ (NAFLD). Under normal conditions, describe the metabolism and maturation of VLDL particles. Describe how NAFLD could manifest and what potential processes could be impaired in order for this disease process to occur (consider both enzymatic and hormonal impairments).

Liula [17]

The nurse would refer the client for a thyroid function test. The thyroid function test is a blood test that measures how well your thyroid is working. The test measures the levels of thyroid hormones in your blood.

The thyroid is a small gland located in the lower front of the neck. The gland produces thyroid hormones, which are secreted into the blood and then carried to every tissue in the body. Thyroid hormones help the body use energy, stay warm and keep the brain, heart, muscles, and other organs working as they should. The most common thyroid disorder is hypothyroidism, which occurs when the gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, and feeling cold.
