80-101.1
The Mean Corpuscular Volume reflects the size of red blood cells by expressing the volume occupied by a single red blood cell. Increased values may indicate macrocytic anemia or B6 or Folic Acid deficiency and decreased values may indicate microcytic anemia, possibly caused by iron deficiency. + mactocytic anemia _ microcytic anemeaMeasures the size of red blood cells. Larger or smaller than normal red blood cells may indicate anemia. |

ink money 27-32 Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) gives the average weight of hemoglobin in the red blood cell. Due to its use of red blood cells in its calculation, MCH is not as accurate as MCHC in its diagnosis of severe anemias. Decreased MCH is associated with microcytic anemia and increased MCH is associated with macrocytic anemia. Measures the amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Both hemoglobin and hematocrit are used to calculate this number |

Monocytes are a type of phagocyte. These mature into macrophages, important germ eating cells. A low number can put you at a higher risk of getting sick from an infection, particularly those caused by bacteria + Chronic inflammtry disorders, malaria, monocytic leukemia, acute infections, Hodgkins |

133-145 Sodium is the most abundant cation in the blood and its chief base. It functions in the body to maintain osmotic pressure, acid-base balance, and to transmit nerve impulses. +Dehydration, impared renal function, primary aldosteronism, steroid therapy - Addisns disease, diabetic ketoasidosis,diuretic therapy, excessive loss from gi tract, excessive perspiration, water intoxification |

meal lilly 3.5-5.5 Potassium is the major intracellular cation in the blood. It, along with sodium, helps to maintain osmotic balance and is also involved in acid-base balance. It is needed for proper nerve and muscle action. +addisons disease, diabetic ketosis, massive tissue destruction, renal fail. - Cushings syndrome, severe diarrhea, diuretic therap, gi fisula, pyloric obstruction, sarvation, vomiting. |

poor hideous housewife 94-108 Chloride's significance relates to its maintenance of cellular integrity through its influence on osmotic pressure, it also helps monitor acid-base balance and water balance. Elevated levels are related to acidosis as well as too much water crossing the cell membrane. Decreased levels with decreased serum albumin may indicate water deficiency crossing the cell membrane + Cardiac decomp, metabolic acidosis, respalkalosis, steroid therapy, uremia Addisons disease, diarrhea, metabolic alkalosis, resp acidosis, vomiting |

BUN
|
6-19
The nitrogen component of urea, B.U.N. is the end product of protein metabolism and its concentration is influenced by the rate of excretion. Increases can be caused by excessive protein intake, kidney damage, certain drugs, low fluid intake, intestinal bleeding, exercise, or heart failure. Decreased levels may be due to a poor diet, malabsorption, liver damage, or low nitrogen intake. + Increase in protein catabolism (fever, distres) renal disease , uti - malnutrition, severe lliver damage |
|
|
creatinine
|
0.6-1.6Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism. Its level is a reflection of the body's muscle mass. Low levels are sometimes seen in kidney damage, protein starvation, liver disease, or pregnancy. Elevated levels are sometimes seen in kidney disease due to the kidneys job of excreting creatinine, muscle degeneration, and some drugs involved in impairment of kidney function.

1.5-2.5 Magnesium is necessary for nearly all biochemical processes in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps the bones strong, controls the heart beat, and helps regulate blood pressure. Magnesium also controls blood sugar levels and helps support the body's defense (immune) system High magnesium levels are manifested by decreased reflexes, somnolence, and heart block. + addisons disease,hypothyroidism, renal fail - chronic etoh, hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism,hypoparathyroidism, severe malabsorption |

3.5-5.0Albumin is the major constituent of serum protein (usually over 50%). It is manufactured by the liver from the amino acids taken from the diet. It helps in osmotic pressure regulation, nutrient transport, and waste removal. High levels are rarely seen and are primarily due to dehydration. Low levels are seen in poor diets, diarrhea, fever, infection, liver disease, inadequate iron intake, third-degree burns and edemas, and hypocalcemia. + dehydration - Chronic liver disease, malabsorption, malnutrition, nephrotic syndrome, pregnancy |
