    1. A 28-year-old male has high total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides and low HDL, putting him at risk for cardiovascular disease. 2. A 63-year-old man has low hemoglobin, slightly low albumin, and high total protein. 3. The probable diagnosis is multiple myeloma, which causes protein to accumulate and would explain the abnormal lab results. Plasma cells would be predominant in the bone marrow.

    & Clinical Case #1. A 28-year-old male goes to see his healthcare provider because he noticed
    yellow-orange bumps in his skin. His provider performed a serum lipid panel and the results are

    1. Interpret these results: is the client at risk for cardiovascular disease? yes -

    2. Explain why or why not.


    Yes this client is at risk for cardiovascular disease. Their total cholesterol level is more than double what the normal
    range should be. Also, LDL is responsible for transporting cholesterol throughout the body. Therefore, this patients
    high LDL levels puts them at a high risk CVA due to LDL building up in the arteries. In addition, the HDL cholesterol
    levels being low means that’s cholesterol isn’t being eliminated from the body as efficiently as it needs to be.
    Finally, the triglyceride level being high means that more fat is circulating in the blood posing another high risk for
    cardiovascular disease.

    Clinical Case #2. A 63-year-old man presented to the clinician’s office with bone pain in his hips
    and fatigue. The clinician ordered biochemical tests, with the following results:
    Low Albumin slightlylow

    1. Which of these laboratory results are not considered normal?


    2. What is the probable diagnosis?
    3. What would be a predominant cell in the patient's bone marrow?

    1. Hemoglobin levels are low, albumin levels are slightly low, and total protein count is high.
    2. Multiple myeloma causes protein to accumulate which would explain the high total protein count
    3. Plasma cells
