(40 cards)
HGB HEMOGLOBIN
Low = anemia
WBC WHITE BLOOD CELLS
High (leukocytosis) = infection
Hct hematocrit
Low = anemia
Plt = platelets
Low (thrombocytopenia) = prone to bleeding
Na sodium
High ( hypernatremia) = dehydration
Low ( hyponatremia) = dehydration
K potassium
High (hyperkalemia) = poor kidney function
Low ( hypokalemia) = may cause arrhythmias
If high = causes renal insufficiency or failure
BUN = blood urea nitrogen Creat = creatine
gluc
Glucose
High ( hyperglycemia) = high blood sugar
Low ( hypoglycemia) = low blood sugar
Cl- chloride
High ( hyperchloremia) = possible dehydration
HCO3-
Bicarbonate
High ( hypercarbia) = possible respiratory disease
Low ( hypocarbia) = hyperventilation possible DKA
CEP.
WHAT ENZYMES IF HIGH INDICATE HEART DAMAGE
TROP
CK CREATINE KINASE ( heart damage and rhabdomylosis)
CK MB ( creatine kinase muscle breakdown)
CK RI ( creatine kinase relative index )
MYO
Resp labs
High = congestive heart failure
BNP
B type natriuretic peptide
Low ph = acidosis
Resp lab
