Critical Lab Values Flashcards
Normal serum protein level
6-8 g/dL
Albumin
3.5-5.0 g/dL
Hemoglobin (Hb)
For men =14-18 g/dl
For women = 12-16 g/dL
BUN
7-20 g/dl
2.5-7.1 mmol/L

Mpv mean platelet volume
9.4-12.3
RDW RED BLOOD CELL DISTRIBUTION WIDTH
6-8
*if high indicates nutrient deficiency. Such as iron, folate & B12. Perhaps marcolytic anemia
MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration)
31-37 g/dL
* What are the symptoms of low MCHC? fatigue and chronic tiredness. shortness of breath. pale skin. easily bruised. dizziness. weakness. loss of stamina.
Mch
27-33
MCV mean corpuscular volume
- 80-96
- high MCV would mean that the red blood cells are larger than average and a low MCV would mean they are smaller than average. … High MCV is seen with macrocytic anemias such as vitamin B12 deficiency anemia.
- The MCV will be lower than normal when red blood cells are too small. This condition is called microcytic anemia. Microcytic anemia may be caused by: iron deficiency, which can be caused by poor dietary intake of iron, menstrual bleeding, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
BACKGROUND: An elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is associated with aging, nutrition, alcohol abuse and more, and it is known as a survival predictor in chronically ill patients. … Elevated MCV level was related to an increased risk of liver cancer mortality in men (aHR, 3.55; 95% CI, 1.75-7.21).Jul
