ASCP STUDY GUIDE 18-CHEMISTRY Solved 2026/2027 With Answers

Following overnight fasting, hypoglycemia in adults is defined as a glucose of: - ✔✔<45 mg/dL
(<2.5 mmol/L)
Diagnosis of hypoglycemia in adults.
The following results are from a 21-year-old patient with a back injury who appears otherwise
healthy:
whole blood glucose: 77 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L) serum glucose: 88 mg/dL (4.8 mmol/L)
CSF glucose: 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L)
The best interpretation of these results is that: - ✔✔all values are consistent with a normal
healthy individual
The preparation of a patient for standard glucose tolerance testing should include: - ✔✔a high
carbohydrate diet for 3 days
If a fasting glucose was 90 mg/dL, which of the following 2-hr postprandial glucose results
would most closely represent normal glucose metabolism? - ✔✔100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L)
Normal 2-hour postprandial value.
A healthy person with a blood glucose of 80 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L) would have a simultaneously
determined cerebrospinal fluid glucose value of. - ✔✔50 mg/dL (2.3 mmol/L)
