2nd Sem B.Sc. Nursing || Applied Biochemistry Unit 7 Organ Function Tests| INC Syllabus

Welcome to this detailed class on Organ Function Tests: Thyroid Function Tests (TFT), Liver Function Tests (LFT), and Renal Function Tests (RFT) from Applied Biochemistry Unit 7, specially prepared for 2nd Semester B.Sc. Nursing students based on the INC syllabus. In this lecture, we explain the important biochemical investigations used to assess thyroid, liver, and kidney function. The concepts are presented in simple, student-friendly language, with commonly used reference values, clinical significance, and interpretation of abnormal results to help you understand the topic and prepare for nursing examinations. Topics Covered in This Video 1. Thyroid Function Tests (TFT) Introduction and importance of thyroid function tests Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Total and free T3 and T4 Common biochemical patterns in hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism Clinical significance and interpretation of thyroid test results 2. Liver Function Tests (LFT) Introduction and functions of the liver Serum bilirubin: total, direct, and indirect Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) Serum albumin and total protein Prothrombin time (PT/INR) Interpretation of biochemical findings in liver diseases, jaundice, and bile duct obstruction 3. Renal Function Tests (RFT) Introduction and functions of the kidneys Blood urea and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) Serum creatinine Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) Serum uric acid Electrolytes: sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate Urinalysis and urine albumin/protein Interpretation of results in renal impairment Importance for B.Sc. Nursing Students This class helps you understand the commonly used biochemical parameters, their usual reference ranges, and the clinical significance of increased or decreased values. It is useful for short notes, 2-mark questions, 5-mark answers, long-answer questions, and university examination preparation. By the end of this lecture, you should be able to explain the purpose of TFT, LFT, and RFT, identify important biochemical parameters, and describe the basic interpretation of abnormal findings. Note: Reference ranges can vary between laboratories, methods, age groups, and clinical circumstances. Always refer to the laboratory's stated reference interval when interpreting patient reports. Watch the complete class, make notes of the important values, and revise the interpretation patterns for examination preparation. Subscribe for more B.Sc.
