Liver studies
AST & ALT
AST aka SGOT (think so/go)
ALT aka SGPT
- CARA says that both should be below 40.
- If they are between 40 to 50, there could be a problem with the liver.
- If above 50, definite hit to the liver.
-
Potassium levels
- 3.5 - 5.0Too low - tachycardias
- Too high - bradycardias

Phosphorus
- 2.5 - 4.5Inverse to Calcium
-
Serum Creatine level
- male: 0.6 - 1.2 female: 0.5 - 0.1
- Good predictor for kidney function, a ratio of 20:1, BUN to creatine indicates adequate kidney functioning
-
Creatine clearance
- male: 107 - 139 ml
- female: 87 - 107 ml
- Best predictor for kidney function
-
Platelets
150,000 - 400,000
-
WBC
- 4,500 - 11,000
- stress,anesthetics,exercise and convulsion can increased values

- pregnant female: >33
-
RBC
- male: 4.7 - 6.1
- female: 4.2 - 5.4
-
INR (International normalized ratio)
- 0.8 - 1.1
- (used w/prothrombin to monitor Coumadin therapy,for pt on anticoagulant therapy the values should be 1.5 - 2.00 x higher)
-
PTT (partial phrothrombin time)
- 60-70 seconds
- (Used in regulating heparin therapy. Therapeutic range is 1.5-2.5 x higher then normal.)
-
APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time)
- 30-40
- (Used in regulating heparin therapy,should be 1.5-2.5 higer for pt receiving anticoagulant medication.)
