| TEST | SIGNIFICANCE |
| Partial Thromboplastin Time Measures intrinsic clotting of blood, congenital clotting disorders N.R.= 60-70 seconds | Partial Thromboplstin time is >prolonged in hemophilia A,B, & C, >Von Willebrand’s disease |
| White Blood Cell Measures host defense against inflammatory agents Infant N.R.= 8,000-15,000/mm3 4-7 yrs. old N.R.= 6,000-15,000/mm3 8-18 yrs. old N.R.= 4,500-13,500/mm3 | White Blood Cell Low: >aplastic anemia >drug toxicity >specific infections High: >inflammation >trauma toxicity >leukemia |
| Lymphocytes Large granular are more commonly known as the natural killer cells. Small ones are the T cells and B cells. N.R.= 25%-30% | >Viral and bacterial infection >acute & chronic lymphocytic leukemia >antigen reaction |
| Urinalysis - pH Reflects acidosis and alkalosis N.R. = 6-8 | U/A pH Acidic in >diabetes >acidosis >prolonged fever Alkalinic in >urinary tract infection >alkalosis |
| International Normalized Ratio (INR) Measures extrinsic clotting function N.R. Without anticoagulant therapy : 1 Anticoagulant therapy target range: 2-3 | Internation Normalized Ratio will be >increased with anticoagulant therapy |
| Eosinophils A WBC found in vertebrate blood, containing cytoplasmic granules that are easily stained by eosin or other acid dyes. N.R.= 1%-3% | Eosinophils will increase in >parasitic & allergic conditions >blood dyscrasias >pernicious anemia |
| Hemoglobin Measures oxygen carrying capacity of blood N.R. = 12-18 g/100mL | Hemoglobin Low: >hemorrhage >anemia High: >polycythemia |
| Urinalysis - Specific gravity Measures the degree of tubular reabsorption and dehydration N.R. = 1.015-1.025 | U/A specific gravity will be Increased in >diabetes mellitus Decreased in >acute nephritis >diabetes insipidus >aldosteronism |
| Bleeding Time Measures quality of platelets N.R.= 1-6 min | Bleeding time will be >prolonged in thrombocytopenia |
| Urinalysis - Volume N.R. = 1,000-2,000 mL/d | Urinalysis will be >increased in diabetes mellitus >chronic nephritis |
| Platelets Measures clotting potential N.R.= 140,000-340,000/mL | Platelets is increased in >polycythemia >leukemia >severe hemorrhage decreased in >thrombocytopenia purpura |
| Monocytes A large, circulating, phagocytic WBC, having a single well-defined nucleus and very fine granulation in the cytoplasm. They constitute from 3 to 8 percent of the white blood cells in humans. N.R.= 0 - 9% | Monocytes is linked to >Hodgkin’s disease >lipid storage disease >recovery from severe infections >monocytic leukemia |
| Electrolytes - Sodium (Na) Reflects acid-base balance N.R. = 135-145 mEq | Electrolytes - Sodium (Na) will be >increased in Cushing’s syndrome |
| Urinalysis - Casts N.R. = 1-2 per high power field | U/A Casts will yield >renal tubule degeneration occuring in cardiac failure,pregnancy,hemoglobinuric-nephrosis |
| Hematocrit Measures relative volume of cells and plasma in blood N.R.= 35%-50% | Hematocrit Low: >hemorrhage >anemia High: >polycythemia >dehydration |
| Electrolytes - Potassium (K) N.R. = 3.5-5 mEq | Electrolytes - Potassium (K) will be >increased in tissue breakdown |
| Prothrombin Time Measures extrinsic clotting factors N.R.= 11-16 sec | Prothrombin Time will be >prolonged in liver disease >impaired Vitamin K production >surgical trauma with blood loss |
| Red Blood Cell Measures oxygen-carrying capacity of blood N.R.= 4-6 million/mm3 | Red Blood Cell Low: >hemorrhage >anemia High: >polycythemia >heart disease >pulmonary disease |
| Electrolytes - Chloride (Cl) N.R. = 100-106 mEq | Electrolyte - Chloride (Cl) will be >increased in renal disease >hypertension |
| Electrolytes - Bicarbonate (HCO3) Ingestion of bicarbonate is a common remedy for ‘indigestion’, because it neutralizes stomach acid. N.R. = 24-30 mEq | (blank) |
| Basophils A cell, especially a white blood cell, having granules that stain readily with basic dyes. N.R.= 1% | Basophils will increase in >types of blood dyscrasias |
| Neutrophils White blood cells that fight bacterial infection. N.R.= 54%-62% | Neutrophils will increase in >bacterial infections >hemorrhage >diabetic acidosis |
