long liver
Subject: long liver
I posted this on the main board and it disappeared so I'm trying again. Word help is not what I'm looking for though. I'm trying to find information on having a long liver....not an enlarged liver, but a long liver which I have been told can be a normal variant. In searching google for abnormal, long, length, etc., I am not coming up with anything pertaining to a long liver. I know it sounds weird. It is not a common thing to have but some people do and I would like more information. TIA.

TL study?
Subject: TL study?
Could he be talking about TL-201, or Thallous Chloride? It's used for heart studies. See if any of this info sounds like your patient:
Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection may be useful in myocardial perfusion imaging using either planar or SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) techniques for the diagnosis and localization of myocardial infarction. It may also have prognostic value regarding survival, when used in the clinically stable patient following the onset of symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction, to assess the site and size of the perfusion defect.
Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection is indicated also for the localization of sites of parathyroid hyperactivity in patients with elevated serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. It may also be useful in pre-operative screening to localize extrathyroidal and mediastinal sites of parathyroid hyperactivity and for postsurgical reexamination.

This guy stumps me on this one lab value, always in the 220s to 230s. He dictates the patient's SMA-7 sodium 141, potassium 3.7, chloride 103, __________ 230, sounds like total,and then goes on to BUN and creatinine. Anybody got a clue what the blank value might represent? thanks! (again)
