Semifinal Lab Values (Ben) Flashcards
HDL
> 1.0 mmol/l in men
> 1.3 mmol/l in women
LDL
< 3.4 mmol/l
total triglycerides
0.8 - 1.7 mmol/l
“Random Blood Glucose”
(regardless of fasting/non-fasting state, not as important as fasting but good to know)
- > 11 mmol/l - diabetic
- 5.5-11 mmol/l - must check fasting glucose
- < 5.5 mmol/l - patient is not diabetic
Fasting Glucose
- < 5 mmol/l - not diabetic
- 5-6 mmol/l - regular checkups recommended
- 6-7 mmol/l - OGTT needed
- > 7 mmol/l - diabetic
OGTT 2-hr value
- < 7.8 mmol/l - impaired fasting glucose (remember OGTT was done because of fasting glucose btwn 6-7 mM)
- >7.8 mmol/l - impaired glucose tolerance
- >11 mmol/l - diabetes
total bilirubin
< 17 umol/l
direct bilirubin
< 5 umol/l
ALAT / GPT
ASAT / GOT
both should be < 45 U/l
alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
< 150 U/l
prothrombin time (PT)
(INR = international normalized ratio)
0.8 - 1.2
mean corpuscular hemoglobin
MCH
28-33 pg
mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
320-360 g/l
serum Ca++
(total, not free)
2.2-2.6 mmol/l
(free is about half that)
alpha-amylase
< 180 U/l
TSH
(not on list but should know according to Tunde)
0.4 - 4.0 mU/l
iron
(male + female)
male: 12-36 umol/l
female: 11-30 umol/l
(note this is micromolar!)

total iron binding capacity
female + male
female: 45-70 umol/l
male: 50-80 umol/l
platelet count

aPTT
activated partial thromboplastin time
35-45 s
thrombin time
20-22 s
fibrinogen
1.5-4.0 g/l
(remember it’s an acute phase protein)
carbamide
3.5-7.0 mmol/l
