Lab Values Flashcards
increases with dehydration
sodium
136-144
increases with an an aldosterone secreting tumor
sodium
136-144 mmol/L
decreases wit an ADH secreting tumor
sodium
136-144 mmol/L
H20 overload
sets resting membrane potential
potassium
3.5-4.5 mmol/L
small changes = huge effects
potassium
3.5-4.5 mmol/L
kidney waste products, kidney failure, kidneys are not getting rid a waste products
BUN
7-18 mg/dL
Creatinine
0,6-1.2 mg/dL
normal blood glucose
fasting: 64-99
Normal: 100-128
Loss of base
Normal in anion gap
THINK RENAL FAILURE
Na - ( Cl + HCO3)
Addition of acid
High anion gap
Na - ( Cl + HCO3)
Acidosis with NORMAL anion gap
THINK renal failure
if HCO3 FALLS in renal failure
Cl- will go UP equally
NO change in anion gap
if we add an acid
CL- will go down equally
hyponatremic and getting hypertonic saline
ok. blood cells will shrink a little when they go by
hyponatremic and getting H2O
RBC’s will burst
sets THRESHOLD for most voltage gated ion channels
Calcium
8.5-10.9 mg/dL
if this gets high it starts binding to calcium
Phosphate- mostly HPO4-
3.0-4.5 mg/dL
Gout
Uric Acid
2-8 mg/dL
Hepaotcyte enzymes produced in different parts of the liver can tell us where damage is
ALT - 8-37 IU/L
AST - 10-34 IU/L
will be very high if binge drinking the night before but only slightly elevated in alcoholics
ALT/AST
Cells lining billiary ducts, if in blood means there is damage to the billiard ducts
not necessarily damage to the hepatocytes, but often times correlates
Alkaline Phosphatase - 44 - 147 IU/L (can also be from bone tissue)
Gamma GT - 0-51 IU/L
most common protein in plasma
Albumin
3.5-5 g/dL
liver get rid of this, if it is high, it is a liver problem
Direct Billiruben (unconjugated)- 0-0.3
Total Billiruben - 0.2 - 1.0
if total protein is LOW and albumin is LOW it is ______________.
A problem with the LIVER
Albumin - 3.5-5 g/dL
Total protein - 6.0- 8.4 g/dL
if total protein is NORMAL and albumin is LOW it is ___________
NOT A LIVER PROBLEM
Albumin - 3.5-5 g/dL
Total protein - 6.0- 8.4 g/dL
