Values Flashcards
HDL
> 1.0 mmol/l in men
> 1.3 mmol/l in women
LDL
< 3.4 mmol/l
Total triglycerides
< 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
5-6mmol/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 (IFG)
>7.8 mmol/l- impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)
>11 mmol/l- diabetes
(RememberOGTT was done because of fasting glucose btwn 6-7 mM)
Total bilirubin
< 20 umol/l
Direct bilirubin
< 3.4 umol/l
ALAT / GPT and ASAT / GOT
Both should be< 50 U/l
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
< 120 U/l

27-34 pg
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)
315-360 g/l
Serum Ca++ (total, not free)
2.2-2.6 mmol/l
free is about half that

(Note this ismicromolar!)
TIBC total iron binding capacity (female + male)
Female: 45-70 umol/l
Male: 50-80 umol/l
