CALE- lab values
basic lab test values
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Normal HR, RR, BP levels | 60-100, 10-20, 120-130/80-85 |
| CBC tests for RBC levels and WBC levels: RBC = | Hematocrit & Hemoglobin |
| Hematocrit = | Total % of RBC within CBC, normal= MALE 40-54% FEMALE 38-47% PREG 33-47% (less due to elevated fluid levels) |
| Elevated hematocrit levels = | Dehydration, Polycythemia, Shock. |
| Lowered hematocrit levels = | Over-hydration, Anemia, Leukemia, Cirrhosis, HypErthyroidism. |
| Hemoglobin = | Gas carrier within the blood. O2 from Lungs to body CO2 out of body. MALE 13.5- 18g/dl. FEMALE 12-16g/dl. PREG 11-16 (less due to elevated fluid levels) |
| Elevated Hemoglobin levels = | Dehydration, Heart Disease, Marrow problem, CHF, COPD, High Altitudes. |
| Lowered Hemoglobin levels = | Anemia, HypErthyroidism, Cirrhosis, blood loss, chemotherapy/ Marrow problem. |
| CBC tests for RBC levels and WBC levels: WBC = | 5,000-10,000/mm3 (Neutrophils, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Eosinophil, Basophil) <2500 & >30,000 = :( |
| Neutrophils = | 55-70%. Bacteria killers: increase in acute infections. |
| Lymphocytes = | 20-40%. immune response T & B cells: increase during antigen-antibody reactions. Auto immune disorders. |
| Monocytes = | 2-8%. necrotic tissue and micro organisms: increases in chronic infections |
| Eosinophils = | 1-4%. Allergic responses: increase in allergic reactions. |
| Basophils = | 0.5-1%. Allergic responses: increase in allergic reactions. |
| Platelet count = | measures blood clotting capabilities. 150,000-400,000/mm3 <50,000 & >100,000 = :( |
| Elevated Platelet count = | Cancer, trauma, heart disease, cirrhosis. (results in ^ blood clots) |
| Lowered Platelet count = | Anemia, allergic conditions, chemotherapy. (results in ^bleeding) |
| Cholesterol total levels should = | under 200mg/dl includes HDL, LDL, VLDL (more then 240 = high risk) |
| HDL levels shoud be = | more then 60mg/dl (less then 40 in men & 50 in women= bad) |
| LDL levels should be = | less then 100 (160mg/dl = high risk heart disease) |
| Triglyceride Levels should be = | 10-190mg/dl (150 = optimal) (200-498 = bad) |
| Elevated cholesterol/ lipid levels = | DM, Cardiovascular disease, nephrosis, hypOthyroidism. Hyperlipidemia |
| Lowered cholesterol/lipid levels = | liver disease, hypErthyroidism, fat malabsorption, pernicious anemia, severe infection, terminal stage cancer. |
| Arterial Oxygen content level = | 15-23% vol |
| elevated arterial o2 level = | polycythemia, |
| lowered arterial o2 level = | copd |
| glucose level = | 70-110mg/dl in blood. Should be NEGATIVE in urine. |
| elevated glucose level= | DM, Acute stress, HypErthyroidism, liver disease, nephritis. |
| Lowered glucose level= | Addisons, HypOthyroidism, pancreatic cancer. |
| Liver Function test = HEPATIC PANEL = | ALT, AST, ALP, Billirubin, Albumin, GGT |
| ALT = | 4-36 units/L (high levels detect hepatits, disease progress, drug toxicity, tumor, burns, jaundice, pancreatic disease, mono, trauma) |
| ALP = | 30-120 units/L (bile ducts-- high in gallstones, blockages, injury, bone disease, tumors, low in malnutrition, scurvy) |
| AST = | 0-35 units/L (high levels detect LIV HT skeletal mm injuries-- MI, BURNS, HEAT STROKE, TRAUMA, LOW LEVELS DETECT DIABETIC KET, renal disease. tells you if had MI |
| Billirubin = broken down hemoglobin = | total 0.3-1.0, direct (conj) 0.1-0.3. (high = gall stones, liver metastisism) |
| Albumin = | 3.5-5 (elevated= dehydration, nephritis, fever, trauma, anemia, leukemia. lowered = malnutrition, preg, liver disease, severe burns) |
| Total protein = | 6.4-8.3 (fights infection) |
| GGT = | 8-38units/ L: (femlale under 45 = 5-27 units/L) elevated in alcohol related liver disease, MI, alcoholic pancreatitis, infection of mono or reyes. |
| Iron levels = | 60-150 (increases in liver dis, anemia. decreses in iron def anemia) |
