Glucose, fasting correct answer: RR: 70-99mg/dL ^(hyperglycemia): Diabetes melitus, pancreatitis v(hypoglycemia): insulinoma, insulin-induced hypoglycemia, hypopituitarism Cholesterol, total correct answer: RR: <200 mg/dL desirable limited value for predicting risk of CAD by itself, used in addition with HDL & LDL HDL correct answer: High Density Lipoprotein ("good" cholesterol) RR: >60 mg/dL desirable <50 indicates Metabolic Disorder according to NCEP: ATP III LDL correct answer: Low Density Lipoprotein ("bad" cholesterol) RR: <100 mg/dL risk factor for CAD. Small Dense LDL worst for you due to ability to permeate tissue and deposit cholesterol. Triglycerides correct answer: RR: <150 mg/dL desirable, over that indicates metabolic disorder according to NCEP: ATP III Fastest to change due to diet, most affected by not fasting Total Protein (serum) correct answer: RR: 6.4-8.3 g/dL <4.5 g/dL associated with peripheral edema ^ dehydration, chronic inflamation, multiple myeloma v nephrotic syndrome, malabsorption, overhydration, hepatic insufficiency, malnutrition, agammaglobulinemia Albumin correct answer: RR: 3.5-5 g/dL Largest fractin of plasma protein.
