Diabetes poor control - ANS ✔✔> 11%
Lipid profile - ANS ✔✔Cholesterol
Low density lipoprotein ( bad)
High density ( good)
Triglycerides
,BUN blood urea nitrogen - ANS ✔✔By produce of protein metabolism
Serum creatinine - ANS ✔✔Waste product of skeleton miscle . More sensitive in detecting renal
failure
BUN to creatinine - ANS ✔✔6:1 to 20:1
RBC count - ANS ✔✔Adult male- 4.7-6.1

Newborn 4.8-7.1
Child 8-12yr 4.0- 5.5
Hemoglobin count - ANS ✔✔Male 14-18
Female 12-16
Decreased- anemia, bone marrow suppression, chronic infection, hemorrhage, renal disease ,
Increased- major burns, cvd, chronic lung disease, heart defect, polycythemia
Hematocrit - ANS ✔✔Adult male - 42-52
Female- 37-48
Decreased - anemia, bone marrow, suppression, chronic infection, hemorrhage, renal disease

, Decreased- leukemia , aplastic anemia
Increased- acute leukemia , infection, surgery trauma
Platelets cells - ANS ✔✔150,000- 400,000
Decreased- results in the inability to blood to clot. Possibly HIV infection, chemotherapy ,
radiation therapy
Increased - results in viscous blood . The more the better does not apply to platelets. Leukemia,
splenectomy , iron defiancy anemia, rheumatoid arthritis , acute infection or inflammatory
disease
Normal PT value - ANS ✔✔11-12.5
A person on anticoagulant therapy would have a higher PT.
