Toxicities terms for Investigations

Ejection fraction decreased

The percentage computed when the amount of blood ejected during a ventricular contraction of the heart is compared to the amount that was present prior to the contraction.

Electrocardiogram QT corrected interval prolonged

A finding of a cardiac dysrhythmia characterized by an abnormally long corrected QT interval.

Electrocardiogram T wave abnormal

A disorder characterized by Electrocardiogram T wave amplitude changes.

Fibrinogen decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate a decrease in levels of fibrinogen in a blood specimen.

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an decrease in levels of haptoglobin in a blood specimen.

Hemoglobin increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate increased levels of hemoglobin above normal.

INR increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an increase in the ratio of the patient's prothrombin time to a control sample in the blood.

Creatinine increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate increased levels of creatinine in a biological specimen.

Lipase increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an increase in the level of lipase in a biological specimen.

Lymphocyte count increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an abnormal increase in the number of lymphocytes in the blood, effusions or bone marrow.

Neutrophil count decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate a decrease in number of neutrophils in a blood specimen.

Pancreatic enzymes decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an decrease in levels of pancreatic enzymes in a biological specimen.

Platelet count decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate a decrease in number of platelets in a blood specimen.

Serum amylase increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an increase in the levels of amylase in a serum specimen.

Thyroid stimulating hormone increased

A disorder characterized by an increase in thyroid stimulating hormone.

Urine output decreased

A finding based on test results that indicate urine production is less relative to previous output.

Vital capacity abnormal

A finding based on pulmonary function test results that indicate an abnormal vital capacity (amount of exhaled after a maximum inhalation) when compared to the predicted value.

Weight gain

A finding characterized by an unexpected or abnormal increase in overall body weight; for pediatrics, greater than the baseline growth curve.

Weight loss

A finding characterized by a decrease in overall body weight; for pediatrics, less than the baseline growth curve.

Lymphocyte count decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate a decrease in number of lymphocytes in a blood specimen.

CPK increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an increase in levels of creatine phosphokinase in a blood specimen.

Cholesterol high

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate higher than normal levels of cholesterol in a blood specimen.

CD4 lymphocytes decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an decrease in levels of CD4 lymphocytes in a blood specimen.

Activated partial thromboplastin time prolonged

A finding based on laboratory test results in which the partial thromboplastin time is found to be greater than the control value. As a possible indicator of coagulopathy, a prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT) may occur in a variety of diseases and disorders, both primary and related to treatment.

Alanine aminotransferase increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an increase in the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) in the blood specimen.

Alkaline phosphatase increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an increase in the level of alkaline phosphatase in a blood specimen.

Aspartate aminotransferase increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an increase in the level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) in a blood specimen.

Blood antidiuretic hormone abnormal

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate abnormal levels of antidiuretic hormone in the blood specimen.

Blood bicarbonate decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate a decrease in levels of bicarbonate in a venous blood specimen.

Blood bilirubin increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate an abnormally high level of bilirubin in the blood. Excess bilirubinis associated with jaundice.

Blood corticotrophin decreased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate a decrease in levels of corticotrophin in a blood specimen.

Blood gonadotrophin abnorma

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate abnormal levels of gonadotrophin hormone in a blood specimen.

Blood lactate dehydrogenase increased

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate increased levels of lactate dehydrogenase in the blood specimen.

Blood prolactin abnorma

A finding based on laboratory test results that indicate abnormal levels of prolactin hormone in a blood specimen.

Carbon monoxide diffusing capacity decreased

A finding based on lung function test results that indicate a decrease in the lung capacity to absorb carbon monoxide.
