| Urinalysis (UA) | looks for presence of WBC's, bacteria, blood, pH, leukocyte esterase |
| Cultures | blood, wounds, urine, throat, drainage, stool (things removed from the body) |
| ESR | non-specific marker for inflammation |
| Eosinophils (Agranule) | 1 - 4 % |
| Eosinophils (Agranule) | -involved w/ allergic reactions -when allergic response rises, so does the number of eosinophils -do not respond to bacteria |
| Basophils (Agranule) | 0.5 - 1 % |
| Basophils (Agranule) | -involved w/ allergic reactions - do not respond to bacterial/viral infections |
| Monocytes (Granule) | 2 - 8 % |
| Monocytes (Granule) | -phagocytic -fight bacteria -produce rapidly -remove necrotic debris & microorganisms from the blood |
| Lymphocytes (Granule) | 20 - 40 % |
| Lymphocytes (Granule) | -fight bacteria and acute vial infections |
| Neutrophils (Granule) | 55 - 70 % |
| Neutrophils (Granule) | -kill bacteria -form in 7 - 14 days, only live for 6 hours -produced by acute infection or trauma -bands form (infection) |
| WBC | 5,000 - 10,000 |
| WBC | -measures the % of each type of leukocytes present |
