-
Cholesterol
80-110 mg/dL 60-80 mg/dL (fasting)
-
BMI
18.9 - 24.9 25-29.9 overweight 30+ obese
-
Hematocrit
men: 42% - 47% women: 37% - 47%
-
Hemoglobin
12 - 16.5 g/dL abnormal: iron-deficiency anemia
-
Serum Potassium
3.5 - 5.0 mEQ/L
hypokalemia: less than normal; S+S: Anorexia, vomiting, constipation, distention, ileus, muscle weakness,cramps, dysrhythmias, weak pulse, shallow respirations, confusion, (etc.)
Primary intracelluar cation. Affects most body systems. Vital for normalneuromuscular and cardiac functions
-
Albumin
3.5 - 5 g/dL abnormal: protein depletion
-
Transferrin
230 - 400 mg/dL abnormal: protein deficiency
-
Total Lymphocyte Count
1500 - 4000 mm3
-
BUN / Blood Urea Nitrogen
8 - 25 mg/dL abnormal: if high
-
Urine Creatinine
men: 800-2000 mg / 24 hours women: 600 - 1800 mg / 24 hours abnormal: if low
-
Specific Gravity (urine)
1.010 - 1.025
-
-
RBCs / Red Blood Cells
men: 4.7 - 6.1 million/mm3 women: 4.2 - 5.4 million/mm3
-
WBCs / White Blood Cells
5 - 10 k/mm3
-
-
Sodium
136 - 145 mEQ/dL
Primary extracellular cation. Maintains osmotic pressure. Changes affect waterbalance because water follows salt
hyponatremia - less than normal; S+S: Apprehension, lethargy, confusion, abdominal cramps, weak, thready pulse,orthostatic hypotension, dry skin (etc.)
-
Platelets
150 - 400 k/mm3
-
Lactate
0.3 - 2.6 mmol/L
if elevated, anaerobic metabolism due to hypoperfusion
-
Calcium (Ca++)
9.0-11.0 mg/dL
Found in free or ionized state and bound to plasma proteins. Helps in skeletalformation, neuromuscular activity, and blood coagulation
-
Chloride (Cl–)
96-106 mEq/L
Major negative ion in the extracellular fluid. Closely linked with sodiumHelps to maintain osmotic pressure in the serum
-
Phosphate (PO4–)
3.0-4.5 mg/dL
Major intracellular anion. Closely linked with calcium. Promotes neuromuscularactivity, cell division, and metabolism of foods
-
Magnesium (Mg++)
1.8-3.0 mg/dL
Mostly an intracellular ion. Essential for neuromuscular and the enzymefunctions of the cell
