What is the acceptable max for Total cholesterol?
TC must be <190
What is the Friedewald calculation?
A method to measure LDL.
LDL-C = TC - HDL - Trig/5
What is formula for OSMOLALITY
2(Na) + (glucose/20) + (BUN/3)
Reference range of Na
135-145 mmol/L
Reference range for potassium in
Serum:
Urine:
Serum: 3.5-5.1 mmol/L
Urine: 33-86 mmol/d
Reference range for Cl in the plasma/serum and urine (24 hr)
Plasma/serum = 98 -107 mmol/L
Urine (24hr) = 110 - 250 mmol/d (varies with diet)
What makes up total Co2?
Bicarbonate: HCO3 (80%)
Carbonic Acid: H2CO3
Dissolved CO2
What is the anion gap
The difference between unmeasured anions and unmeasured cations
(Na + K) - (Cl - HCO3)
Reference range for anion gap
10-20 mmol/L
