Blood Pressure
Normal = <120 mm Hg systolic, < 80 mm Hg diastolic
High = >= 140 mm Hg systolic, >= 90 mm Hg diastolic
Low = <= 90 mm Hg systolic, <= 60 mm Hg diastolic
Glucose/Protein/Anemia
Enter appropriate values as needed.
GLUCOSE
- Venous - blood drawn from a vein
Normal (fasting) = 70-110 mg/dL
- Capillary - finger stick
Average (before meal) = 80-120 mg/dL
Average (2 hours after meal) = 140-160 mg/dL
- HgbA1c - measures average blood glucose over the past 2-3 months
Normal = 6-8%
Good Control = <9%
Fair Control = 9-12%
Poor Control = >12%
PROTEIN
- Albumin - most representative of protein status, good long-term monitor
Normal = 3.5-5.0 g/dL
Mild depletion = 2.8-3.5 g/dL
Moderate depletion = 2.1-2.7 g/dL
Severe depletion = <2.1 g/dL
- Transferrin - monitor of shorter term protein status, also a measure of iron status
Normal (males) = 215-365 mg/dL
Normal (females) = 250-380 mg/dL
ANEMIA (IRON DEFICIENCY, FOLATE DEFICIENCY, B-21 DEFICIENCY)
- Hemoglobin - monitor severity of iron deficiency anemia and response to treatment
Normal (males) = 14-18 g/dl
Normal (females) = 12-16 g/dL
- Hematocrit - decreased in iron deficiency, assists in diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia
Normal (males) = 42-52%
Normal (females) = 37-47%
- Iron - measure of the iron bound to transferrin (transport protein)
Normal (males) = 80-180 ug/dL
Normal (females) = 60-160 ug/dL
- Ferritin - indicator of available iron stores
Normal (males) = 12-300 ng/ml
Normal (females) = 10-150 ng/ml
- TIBC - a direct measure of transferrin
Normal (males) = 300-400 ug/dL
Normal (females) = 350-450 ug/dL
- MCV - used to classify anemias
Normal = 80-95 um3
Other Metabolites
ELECTROLYTES
- Sodium - major extracellular cation, monitor fluid balance, assess renal function
Normal = 136-145 mEq/L
- Potassium - major intracellular cation, monitor fluid balance, assess renal function
Normal = 3.5-5.0 mEq/L
CHOLESTEROL
- Total Cholesterol - used to assess risk of coronary heart disease
Desirable = <200 mg/dL
Borderline = 200-239 mg/dL
At risk for CHD = >240mg/dL
- HDL- thought to play a protective role against CHD
Desirable (male) = >45 mg/dL
Desirable (female) = >55 mg/dL
At risk for CHD (M/F) = <35 mg/dL
- LDL- high levels correlate with increased CHD risk
Desirable = <130 mg/dL
Borderline = 130-159 mg/dL
At risk for CHD = >160 mg/dL
Miscellaneous
- Triglycerides - used to determine risk for CHD
Normal (male) = 40-160 mg/dL
Normal (female) = 35-135 mg/dL
- ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) - used to distinguish between liver and bone disease
Reference Range (adults) = 30-120 U/L
Reference Range (children) = 40-300 U/L
- AST (Aspartate Amino Transferase, formerly SGOT) - used in diagnosing liver disease
Normal (adult)= 8-20 U/L
Normal (infant) = can be 4 times adult
- ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase, formerly SGPT) - used in diagnosing liver disease
Normal (male) = 10-32 U/L
Normal (female) = 9-24 U/L
Normal (infant) = 2 times adult
- BUN (blood urea nitrogen) - used to assess renal function
Normal = 10-20 mg/dL
Creatinine - used to evaluate renal function
Normal (male) = 0.6 - 1.2 mg/dL
Normal (female) = 0.5 - 1.1 mg/dL
