Blood Chemistry
Serum testing tests and results (reference ranges may vary slightly per source)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ALT (Alanine aminotransferase) to detect liver disease | <45U/L |
| Albumin (protein) to assess kidney function | 3.5-5 g/dL |
| ALP (Alkaline phosphatase to detect liver and bone disease | 20-70 U/L |
| AST (Aspartate aminotransferase to detect tissue damage | <40 U/L |
| BUN (Blood urea nitrogen) to detect renal disease | 7-18 mg/dL; 205-6.4 mmol/L |
| CA (Calcium) to assess parathyroid function and calcium metabolism | 8.4-10.2 mg/dL; 2.1-6.4 mmol/L |
| Cl (Chloride to determine acid-base and water balance (electrolyte) | 98-106 mmol/L |
| Cholesterol (lipid)screening for atherosclerosis related to heart disease | Total: < 200 mg/dL LDL (bad cholesterol): < 130 mg/dL HDL (good cholesterol): > 35 mg/dL |
| CPK (creatinine phosphokinase) to assess source of muscle damage such as myocardial infarct | Specific to testing method used |
| Creatinine to screen for renal function | 0.2-0.8 mg/dL |
| Ferritin to detect amount of iron stored in the body | 20-50 mg/mL |
| GGT (Gamma glutamuyltransferase)to detect liver disease | 0-45 U/L |
| Globulin to detect abnormalities in protein synthesis and removal | Varies according to type |
| FBS (Glucose, fasting) to detect disorders of glucose metabolism as in diabetes mellitus | 70-100 mg/dl |
| Glucose random non fasting | Depends upon what the patient has eaten and how long it has been since ingestion but generally determined that it should not exceed 135-140 mg/dL |
| Fe (Iron) to assis in diagnosis of anemia | 35-140 mcg/dL |
| LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) to assist in confirmation of mycardial or pulmonary infarct | <240 U/L |
| pH to assess acidity or alkalinity of blood | 7.34-7.45 (recall that this is slightly alkaline on the pH scale of 7-14 with 7 being neutral, below 7 acidic and above 7 alkaline or basic) |
| Phosphorus to assist in evaluation of calcium levels and to detect endocrine system disorders | 3-4.5 mg/dL |
| K (Potassium)to assist in diagnosis of acid base and water balance (electrolyte) | 3.5-5.1 mmol/L |
| Na (Sodium) to assist in diagnosis of acid-base and water balance (electrolyte) | 135-146 mmol/L |
| Total bilirubin to evalutate liver function and to aid in Dx of anemia | 0.2-1 mg/dL |
| TIBC (Total iron-binding capacity) to measure the potential to transport iron | 6-8 g/dL |
| Troponin I and T to aid in Dx of myocardial infarct | <0.4 |
| TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) to assess thyroid and pituitary gland function | 5-6 mU/L |
| T4 (Thyroxine) to assess thyroid function | 5-12 mcg/dL |
| Triglycerides to screen for atherosclerosis related to heart disease | 30-190 mg/dL |
| T3 (Triiodothyronine) to assess thyroid function | 27-47% |
| Uric Acid to evaluate renal failure, gout and leukemia | Male: 3.4-7 mg/dL Female: 2.4-6 mg/dL |
