Exam 4: labs

Hematocrit levels

F: 37-47

M: 42-52

• hypovolemic shock/myocardial infarction risk if low

Hemoglobin levels

F: 12-16

M: 14-18

• hypovolemic shock/myocardial infarction risk if low

Platelet count

150,00-400,000

• clotting factor → low = bleeding risk, high=clots

WBC levels

5,000-10,000

• low → patient has a harder time recovering from surgery sand higher infection risk

BUN

• 10-20

Glucose

74-106

Calcium

9-10.5

Magnesium

1.3-2.1

• heart rhythms

potassium

3.5-5

sodium

136-145

Vitamin D

F: 18-78

M: 18-64

Ck-MM (creatine kinase-MM) → (lab, and importance for mobility)

• levels above 200

• found in skeletal muscle → high levels indicate injury

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) → (lab, and importance for mobility)

• 100 to 190

• elevate when inflammation and injury is present

AST (lab, and importance for mobility)

• 0-35

• elevated with muscle injury
