Which of the following laboratory values should the nurse monitor while the client is receiving this medication? a. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) b. Fibrin split products c. BUN d. Glucose Glucose Methylprednisolone therapy increases the synthesis of glucose and decreases the uptake of glucose by the muscles and adipose tissues, resulting in increased circulating glucose. Therefore, it is important for the nurse to monitor blood glucose levels regul arly while clients are receiving corticosteroid therapy. Aspartate aminotransferase is an enzyme that is present in the heart, liver, skeletal muscles, and other highly metabolic tissues. AST levels are increased in conditions that cause cellular injury, such as liver disease; however, methylprednisolone therapy does not affect AST levels. Fibrin split products are present in the serum when thromboses are present. Increased levels of fibrin split products can increase disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC); however, methylprednisolone therapy does not affect blood clotting. BUN levels reflect kidney function and glomerular filtration. Hydration status and nephrotoxic medications can alter BUN levels; however, methylprednisolone therapy does not affect renal function.
