<440 - 460 milliseconds

MCV (mean corpuscular volume) values and meanings (if patient is anemic)

o   MCV < 80 fL (microcytic): iron deficiency

o   MCV 80 – 100 fL (normocytic): acute blood loss, malignancy, CKD, bone marrow failure (aplastic anemia), hemolysis

Diagnosis of COPD

FEV1/EVC < 0.70

Criteria for Diagnosis of Diabetes and Prediabetes (A1c, FPG, Random BG, OGTT 2-hr BG)

Diabetes: A1c >/= 6.5; FPG >/= 126; Random BG >/= 200;(in addition to classic symptoms of hyperglycemia) OGTT 2 hr BG >/= 200
