NORMAL LAB VALUES
Cards in this deck (23)
- 1normal arterial blood pH7.35-7.45
- 2pCO235-45
- 3HCO3 (bicarbonate ion)22-26
- 4normal pO2 of arterial blood80-100 mmHg
*a pO2 of 60-80 is mild hypoxemia; 40-60 is moderate; LT 40 indicates severe hypoxemia* - 5INR (internationalized normalized ratio)2-3 range
- done for Coumadin (warfarin) monitoring
**LT 2 = too much coagulation
**GT 3 = high risk for bleeding (too little anticoagulation) - 6PT (prothrombin time)11-15 seconds
*AC effects gauged by this; Coumadin prolongs PT time (bleeding time)*
*PT can vary w/ reagent used* - 7PTT (partial thromboplastin time) aka ~ aPTT (activated PTT)1.5-2x (or 60-80 seconds)
**SHOULD NOT EXCEED TWO TIMES THE CONTROL VALUE (control value is 25-40 seconds)** - 8BUN (blood urea nitrogen)7-20 mg/dL
- 9Creatinine0.6-1.3 mg/dL
- 10Albumin, serum3.4-5.4 g/dL
- 11Potassium3.7-5.2 mEq/L
- 12Sodium, serum135-145 mEq/L
- 13Calcium8.5-10.3 mg/dL
- 14Glycosylated hemoglobin4-6%
**hemoglobin A-1C greater than 6.5% indicates poor glycemic control - 15O^2 saturation95-100%
- 16Chloride96-106 mEq/L
- 17WBC4,500-10,000 WBC/mcL
- 18hemoglobin (Hb)Males: 14-18 g/dL
Females: 12-16 g/dL - 19hematocrit (Hct)Males: 40-54%
Females: 36-48% - 20RBCMales: 4.7-6.1 million RBCs/mcL
Females: 4.2-5.4 million RBCs/mcL - 21ALT7-56 units/L
- 22AST10-40 units/L
- 23Phosphate2.4-4.1 mg/dL
