Q

What is the normal range for pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) also known as Pulmonary artery occlusive pressure (PAOP)?

A

4-12mm/Hg

Study Tip: Elevation in this lab indicates left ventricular failure, hypovolemia, mitral regurgitation, or intracranial shunt whereas decreases may indicate hypovolemia or afterload reduction.

Q

What is the normal range for the International Normalized Ratio (INR)?

A

Q

What is the normal range for a Prothrombin Time (PT) level?

A

57
What is the normal range for high density lipo-protein cholesterol serum?
30-70mg/dL
58
What is the range for Stage 1 hypertension?

61
What is the estimated GFR in someone with Moderate Chronic Kidney Disease?
30 - 59 mL/min
62
What is the normal range for blood glucose?
60

Minimum Acceptable Patient Urine Output per 24 Hrs?
800 - 2000 mL per day
65
What is the range for pre-hypertension?
120-139 mm/Hg systolic | 80-89 mm/Hg diastolic
66
What is the normal range for cholesterol serum?
<200mg/dL Study Tip: this is tested usually on a Lipid Profile. This lab is used to assess the risk of developing coronary artery disease.
