DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
, lOMoARcPSD| 63525276
• Hemoglobin (Hgb) o Protein
primarily responsible for
transporting oxygen to and
carrying carbon dioxide from
erythrocytes
o Male: 14-18g/dL o Female: 12-16g/dL o
Pregnant: <11 g/dL
• Hematocrit o Packed cell volume
o Male: 42-52% o Female: 37-
47% o Pregnant: >33%
• RBCs o Erythrocytes
o Have an important role in maintaining normal
acidbase balance o Development of new RBCs
occur in bone marrow o Male: 4.7-6.1 mm3
o Female: 4.2-5.4 mm3
• WBCs o Leukocytes
o Primarily responsible for the inflammatory and
immune response in body
o Classified as lymphocytes (T and B), monocytes,
basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils
o Range is 5,000-10,000
• Platelets o Create a temporary
plug to form a seal at an injury site,
this prevents excessive bleeding
o Both sexes: 150-400 mm3
• LDL
o “bad” cholesterol - low density lipoprotein - because
of its role in atherosclerosis
o Transports cholesterol from the liver to various parts
of the body
, lOMoARcPSD| 63525276
o <130 mg/dL
• HDL
o “good” cholesterol - high density lipoprotein o High
levels reduce the risk of heart disease o Transport
excess cholesterol from the tissues back to the liver,
where it is broken down and excreted in bile o
Male: >45 mg/dL
o Female: >55mg/dL
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)
• BUN
o Elevated BUN levels may indicate decreased renal
glomerular function o BUN levels that are elevated
may be a result of a high-
