Electrolyte level

This study was aimed at investigating the effect of crude oil contaminated feeds on selected serum enzymes and electrolyte levels in Albino wistar rats. Albino wistar rats weighing between 180g to 200g were obtained from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Ogbomosho, OyoState and used for the study. The animals were grouped into five study groups with six (6) animals in each group. The animals were kept in a wellventilated room comprising control group, crude oil group, garlic treated group, Vitamin C treated group and Vitamin E treated group.

Diagnostic Testing For intractable symptoms or an elusive diagnosis, selected diagnostic tests can direct clinical management. Electrolyte replenishment is indicated for hypokalemia or metabolic alkalosis. Detection of iron-deficiency anemia mandates a search for mucosal injury. Pancreaticobiliary disease is indicated by abnormal pancreatic enzymes or liver biochemistries, whereas endocrinologic, rheumatologic, or paraneoplastic etiologies are suggested by specific hormone or serologic testing.

Diagnostic Tests The choice of diagnostic tests should be guided by the history and the physical examination. Measurements of serum electrolytes, glucose, and the hematocrit are usually indicated. Cardiac enzymes should be evaluated if myocardial ischemia is suspected. Blood and urine toxicology screens may reveal the presence of alcohol or other drugs. In patients with possible adrenocortical insufficiency, plasma aldosterone and mineralocorticoid levels should be obtained.
