| What is the normal range of band Neutrophils | 0%-5% |
| What is the normal range of segmented Neutrophils? | 54%-65% |
| What is the normal range of Lymphocytes? | 20%-40% of total WBC |
| What is the normal range of Monocytes? | 2%-8% of total WBC |
| What is the normal range of Eosinophils? | 1%-4% of total WBC |
| What is the normal range of Basophils? | 0%-1% of total WBC |
| What is the normal range of Red Blood Cells in males? | 4.6-6.2 million/mm3 |
| What is the normal range of red Blood Cells in females? | 4.2-5.4 million/mm3 |
| Normal range of hemoglobin in males | 13-18 g/dL |
| Normal range of hemoglobin in females | 12-16 g/dL |
| Normal range of hemoglobin in children | 11.2-16.5 g/dL |
| Normal range of hemoglobin in newborns | 16.5-19.5 g/dL |
| Normal range of hematocrit in males | 40-54 mL/dL |
| Normal range of hematocrit in females | 37-47 mL/dL |
| Normal range of hematocrit in children | 34-49 mL/dL |
| Normal range of hematocrit in newborns | 49-54 mL/dL |
| Normal range of platelets | 150,000-400,000/mm3 |
| Blood glucose test | The glucose level in the blood is helpful in diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus. |
| Electrolyte levels test | Potassium, chloride, sodium, magnesium, calcium,and phosphate levels are obtained to evaluate fluid and electrolyte balance and acid-base balance. |
| Blood urea nitrogen test | Used as an indicator of renal function impairment. |
| Serum creatinine test | Creatinine is a product of metabolism, removed from blood by the kidneys. Elevated levels indicate impairment of kidneys. |
| Total protein test | Used to evaluate conditions such as malnutrition, dehydration, severe burns, gastrointestinal disease, renal disease, liver disease, and diabetes mellitus. |
| Total bilirubin test | Measures the blood level of bilirubin, which is an orange pigment that is released during the destruction or breakdown of hemoglobin. This test is done to evaluate liver function and to help in the diagnosis of certain anemias and biliary obstruction. |
| Complete Metabolic Panel | A group of 14 separate tests that provide an overview of some of the functions of the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. |
| Albumin | Protein produced by the liver |
| Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) | An enzyme produced by the liver |
| Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) | An enzyme produced by the liver |
| Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) | An enzyme produced by the liver |
| Bilirubin | A waste product remaining after the liver destroys old red blood cells |
| Blood urea nitrogen | A waste product filtered from the blood by the kidneys |
| Calcium | An electrolyte; excess levels are removed from the blood by the kidneys |
| Chloride | An electrolyte; excess levels are removed from the blood by the kidneys |
| Creatinine | A waste product filtered from the blood by the kidneys |
| Glucose | A simple sugar fuel source for cellular energy; needs insulin (from the pancreas) to transport glucose into the cells |
| Potassium | An electrolyte; excess levels are removed from the blood by the kidneys |
| Sodium | An electrolyte; excess levels are removed from the blood by the kidneys |
| Total protein | Measures all serum proteins, including albumin and globulins |
| Total serum CO2 | Measures serum level of bicarbonate, which provides data about serum CO2 level because 95% of serum CO2 is carried as part of HCO3. |
| Normal urine color | straw to dark yello |
| Normal urine odor | slightly aromatic |
| Normal specific gravity of urine | 1.005 to 1.035 |
| Normal pH of urine | 4.5 to 8.0 |
| Normal glucose level of urine | none |
| Normal protein level of urine | none |
| Normal ketones level of urine | none |
| Normal bilirubin level of urine | none |
| Normal RBCs of urine | 0 to 2 (per high-power field) |
| Normal WBCs of urine | 0 to 5 (per high-power field) |
| Normal epithelial cells of urine | 0 to 5 (per high-power field) |
| Normal casts of urine | none |
| Normal bacteria of urine | none |
| Normal yeast of urine | none |
| Protein in the urine | Proteinuria |
| Ketones in urine | Ketonuria |
| What does it mean if there if Eosinophils are elevated? | Could be an allergic reaction or parasites |
| What does it mean if Basophils are elevated? | Usually a hypersensitivity reaction, such stings, iodine, or medications |
| What does it mean if your lymphocytes increase? | You may have a viral infection or allergic reactions |
| What does it mean if your neutrophils are elevated? | You may have an infection |
| What could be the problem if your neutrophils bands are elevated? | You may have a bacterial infection |
| Erythropenia | RBC is lower than normal |
| Polycythemia | Elevated RBC count |
| What is the purpose of an Hgb test? | Helps to determine the presence and severity of the different types of anemia. |
| What are the 5 types of WBCs included in a Complete Blood Count? | Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils |
