high levels usually indicate kidney disease, decrease heart muscle activity
lower levels could lead to irreg heartbeat
blood test
part of metabolic panel
helps nerves/muscles communicate, move nutrients and waste
TSH

^ levels most often hypothyroidism
low– overactive thyroid, graves disease, toxid nodular goiter, certain meds: glucocorticosteroids, steroids, opiod painkillers ex morphine

135-148 mEq/L
hypernatremia- cushings syndrome, birth control, diabetes insipidos, hyperaldosteromism
Hyponatremia addisons disease dehydration ketonuria, too much hormone vasopdesin SSRI antidepressants
Phosphorous-P
AKA serum phosphorus test
2.2-4.8mg/dl– liver disease and vit d deficiency cal alter these levels.
phosphorus helps w/ bone growth energy storage nerve muscle production
Magnesium- MG
Electrolyte needed for muscle nerve enzyme function helps body make and use energy
1.5-2.5 mg/dl
Diuretics could affect lab val
test done find cause of nerve/muscle probs, low bp, n/v/d dizziness monitor kidney function, cause of heart probs
Creatinine (kree-at-ten-nine)
0.6-1.5 mg/dl
test reveals info kidneys and their function
if kidneys not functioning properly creatinine levels may ^ in blood measure via urine
Lipase
tested via blood sample, is cked for pancreitis/ cystic fibrosis

^ levels- damaged pancreas, blocked pancreatic duct
BUN- blood urea nitrogen
6-23 mg/dl
test done kidney function
AST/SGOT- female
6-18 u/l
used for screening for liver disease
aka aspartate aminotransaminase
AST/SGOT-males
7-21 u/l
used screening liver disease
(serum)AMYLASE
50-150 u/l
Ammonia
11-35 micro mol/l
albumin
