| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Glucose level | measure of the sugar level in the blood at the time of the sample collection |
| Normal glucose range (fasting) | 70-99 milagrams/deciliters |
| High BP symptoms | increased thirst, increased urination, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing infections |
| Low BP symptoms | sweating, hunger, trembling, anxiety, confusion, blurred vision |
| A1c-hemoglobin A1c | test used to monitor glucose control of diabetes over time. Gives a picture of the average amount of glucose in the blood over the past few months. (avg:7) |
| Electrolyte Panel | test used to screen for an electrolyte or acid-base imbalance and to monitor the effect of treatment on a known imbalance that is affecting bodily organ function |
| Potassium | controlled by kidneys; used for nerve function and muscles particularly in the heart |
| Normal range for Potassium | 3.5-5.0 mEq/L |
| Sodium | regulated by kidneys and adrenals low sodium: caused by excessive water intake, diuretic use, and diabetic drugs Normal Range: 135-145 mEq/L |
| CO2 | reflects acid status of bl low CO2 may be b/c of increased acidity from uncontrolled diabetes, kidney disease, metabolic disorders, or chronic hyperventilation |
| Chloride | helps regulate the amount of fluid in the body and maintain the acid-base balance Norm Range: 98-106 mEq/L |
| Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) | waste product produced in the liver and excreted by the kidneys High: may mean that the kidneys are not working correctly Norm: 7-18 mg/dL |
| Creatinine | waste product largely from muscle breakdown High: may indicate kidney problems Norm: 0.6-1.2 mg/dl |
| Uric Acid | excreted in urine High: associated with gout(crystalized uric acid that builds up in foot joints), arthritis, kidney problems, and diuretic use Norm: 2.0-7.0 mg/dl women, 2.1-8.5 mg/dl men |
| Alkaline Phosphate | enzyme found in bones and liver High: bone, liver damage or w/ gallstones Norm: 50-160 units |
| AST/SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) | liver and muscle enzymes High: liver problems, hepatitis, excess alcohol ingestion, muscle injury and recent heart attack |
| ALT/SGPT (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) | detects liver injury (ex: hepatitis, alcoholism) |
| LDH | a general indicator of the existence and severity of acute or chronic tissue damage |
| Bilirubin | pigment removed by bl to liver High: too much production due to increased destruction of red bl cells, or liver is incapable of adequately removing it in a timely manner, due to a blockage of bile ducts or liver disease |
| CPK | seen in great amounts when muscle or heart cells are injured. in first 4-6 hours after a heart attack this level begins to rise. |
| Albumin | a protein in the bl that shows general health and nutrition Low: kidney disease, shock malnutrition, absorption and digestion of protein problems(Crohn's, ciliac sprue) High: reflect dehydration |
| Crohn's Disease | inflammation of intestines- rough bowels-bleeding |
| Ciliac Sprue | someone who is highly allergic to wheat/gluten products: nausea, vomitting, diareha |
| Total Protein | gen health and nutrition. Low: liver disorder, kidney disorder, disorder in which protein is not digested or absorbed properly |
| Calcium | related to bones, heart, nerves, kidneys, and teeth: Blood calcium levels tell us how much calcium is circulating in the blood Norm: 8.5-10.5 mg/dl |
| Phosphorus | stored in the bones and regulated by kidneys Norm: 3.0-4.5 mg/dl |
| Basic Metabolic Panel(BMP) | group of 8 lab tests which will give info about kidney status, electrolytes, bl sugar, and calcium levels (glucose, sodium, potassium, CO2, chloride, bun and creatinine |
| Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) | group of 14 labs that will give info about kidneys, liver, electrolytes, glucose, calcium, and proteins |
| Total Cholesterol | used to estimate risk of developing heart disease Normal: 200 mg/dl Borderline: 200-240 mg/dl High: 240 mg/dl Tests: HDL, LDL, Triglycerides |
| HDL | (High density lipoprotein)"good cholesterol" Normal >40 mg/dl Borderline: 60 mg/dl > or< than 40 mg//dl raises risk |
| LDL | (low-density lipoprotein) "bad cholesterol" Should be: < 100 mg/dl if have heart disease < 70 mg/dl if have diabetes or high risk for heart disease |
| Heart disease risk factors | smoking, low HDL, high LDL, HTN, family history of heart disease, diabetes |
| Triglycerides | form of fat in the blood Normal: <150 mg/dl Borderline: 105-199 mg/dl High: 200-499 mg/dl |
| CBC (complete blood count) | used as a broad screening test to check for disorders, panel of tests that examines different parts of the blood |
| WBC (white blood count) | count of white blood cells Normal: 4,300-10,800 |
| 5 types of WBC | Neutrophils lymphocytes monocytes eosinophils basophils |
| RBC (red blood count) | count of red blood cells Normal: 4.2-609 million/uL/cu mm |
| Hemoglobin | oxygen carrying protein in the blood Normal: males: 13-18 gm/dl females: 12-16 gm/dl |
| Hematocrit | measures the amount of space red blood cells take up in the blood Normal: males:13-18% females: 37-48% |
| Platelet Count | number of platelets in a given volume of blood. both increases and decreases can point to abnormal conditions of excess bleeding or clotting. Normal: 150,000-350,000/ml |
