Alanine transaminase (ALT), also called Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) or Alanine aminotransferrase (ALAT) is an enzyme present in hepatocytes (liver cells). When a cell is damaged, it leaks this enzyme into the blood, where it is measured. ALT rises dramatically in acute liver damage, such as viral hepatitis or paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. Elevations are often measured in multiples of the upper limit of normal (ULN). The reference range is 15-45 U/L in most laboratories.\n\n\n\nAspartate transaminase (AST) also called Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) is similar to ALT in that it is another enzyme associated with liver parenchymal cells. It is raised in acute liver damage. It is also present in red cells, and cardiac and skeletal muscle. The ratio of AST:ALT is useful in differentiating between causes of acute hepatitis.

it depends on the test results

It is not exactly clear what you need, but maybe you can use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (KS-test) for your problem. The KS-test tries to determine if two datasets differ significantly. The KS-test has the advantage of making no assumption about the distribution of data.  Note however, that this generality comes at some cost: other tests (for example Student's t-test) may be more sensitive if the data meet the requirements of the test.

An immediate test is an ABG...arterial blood gas.  This is a test done on arterial blood, not venous blood.  It measures oxygenation of the blood and carbon dioxide levels. The degree of abnormality determines the degree of respiratory failure at any given time.  The PFT (pulmonary function test) mentioned above is also an important test to determine the ability level of the lungs to do their work.  Usually the PFT is used in known long term lung patients....asthma, copd etc to monitor the degree of pulmonary degeneration or the progression of lung disease.  The ABG is used on long termers OR on people who present themselves with an acute episode of a breathing problem.\n\nAlso, a chest xray is an important test.  The shape of the lungs in an xray can show COPD. An xray will also show, CHF (fluid) pneumonia etc. The xray of the lungs is usually the first test done....the ABG may be done sooner in an acute emergency situation.

If you can provide more details then I can help you. p-value has to be compared with the level of significance. z-table and t-tables are different and u'll requir specific table for that. are you solving a question of hypothesis testing??\n\nCritical value for 't' requires the degree of freedom.

the tests are reliable.  As for validity, that is another matter open for interpretation.  More info is needed to determine the "purpose" of the testing, who is doing it, who is being tested and what are the consequences.

When carrying out a test - we cannot actually "prove" results (science can only observe data) - we can just give the probability that our result was due to variability (the p-value).  The lower the p-value, the more likely our result is due to a significant difference rather than variability.\n\nFor example suppose we were testing the population heights of males.\n\nSuppose our hypothesis is that they have a height of 5 foot 10 inches on average.\n\nWe then take our sample, suppose this gives a mean height of 6 foot.\n\nThere is two inches difference - is this because we just happened to pick a group of taller people (say basketball players) from the population or is it that our results indicate that the population mean is not 5 foot 10?\n\nThe p-value is the probability of getting a "more extreme" result than our sample result.\n\nSuppose we have a p-value of 2% - this means that there is a probability that 2% of the population is greater than 6 foot - wow that's small - and pretty unlikely - so it seems reasonable (though it's not conclusive - there's still a 2% chance we've messed it up due to the inherent variability of random samples) that our result is different from our assumption of 5 foot 10.\n\nP-values less than 5% are considered to be "significantly different" but obviously there is a 5% chance our sample result is simply due to the variability of picking a random sample (we might have just happened to pick basketball players - as mentioned above).\n\nHence, when people repeat clinical tests they may get different results depending on the sample.  Hence, the need for larger samples and repeated independent tests to be "sure" - but hey we never can be completely sure!! (for example I could pick a couple of million people who have never won the lottery and conclude that no-one ever does win...)\n\nHope this helps.

For some values of difficult to test.\n\nTypically, inorganic compounds are ionic in nature, so you're more likely to get chlori*d*e than chlorine (you do appreciate the difference, right?) so you can do things like addition of silver nitrate to get a ppt.\n\nHowever, you can also run mass specs and things - chlorine has a typical splitting pattern here based on isotopic ratios and so in this instance it's probably just as easy to detect it in organic (if not more so) than in inorganic compounds

This is a test for vertebrobasilar insufficiency - a condition in which there is not enough blood coming through the vertebral arteries, and it could be dangerous to forcibly manipulate the neck.\n\n"In George's test, we first measure the bilateral blood pressure, pulse rates, and auscultate the subclavian and carotid arteries. The patient is next asked to rotate the head right and left, and then rotate, laterally bend and extend in the seated position (Maigne's test) and in the supine position (DeKleijn's test). Signs of nausea, tinnitus, vertigo, light headaches, slurring of speech, dizziness or nystagmus may indicate vascular compromise or stenosis of the carotid or vertebral arteries."
