Final answer:
Laboratory data in an SBO, or small bowel obstruction, may show various changes such as increased serum electrolytes or serum creatinine, reflecting dehydration. However, the correct answer typically indicating SBO is not provided in the options.
Step-by-step explanation:
An SBO, or small bowel obstruction, can lead to various changes in laboratory data. When considering the options provided:
- a) Decrease in Serum Amylase: This enzyme may be elevated in acute pancreatitis but is not typically used as a marker for SBO.
- b) Decrease in Serum Lipase: Similarly to amylase, this may indicate pancreatic injury but is not specific for SBO.
- c) Increase in Serum Electrolytes: This could occur due to dehydration associated with SBO.
- d) Increase in Serum Creatinine: This could be indicative of renal impairment, possibly due to dehydration resulting from SBO.
However, the correct answer is not explicitly listed here. SBO typically leads to increased blood pressure if it results in dehydration or sepsis, increased Na+ levels due to fluid loss in the vomitus or bowel, increased blood glucose levels, which might occur secondary to stress, or it might be associated with increased serum creatinine levels due to dehydration.
