Diagnostics Exam 2 Latest Updated 2024
Female: 3.71-5.31 10^6 cells/MicroL
Hematocrit
define - ANSWER-Is the percentage of blood that is Red Blood Cells (RBCs).
*To many & blood becomes to thick (viscosity) & cannot be pumped around efficiently by the heart.
*To little and will not carry enough oxygen to sustain life.
Hematocrit
Normal Findings: Male | Female - ANSWER-Males: 38-51%, Females: 33-45%.
Hemoglobin
define - ANSWER-Is the iron containing protein of erythrocytes. (RBCs) and is responsible for the RBC
being able to carry oxygen.
*So if the hemoglobin is to low, can't transport oxygen to the body
Hemoglobin
Normal Findings: Male | Female - ANSWER-Males = 13.2-17.3 g/dL Females = 11.7-15.5 g/dL
Leukocyte count (WBC)
define - ANSWER-high S&S of infection.
, *Low - compromised immune system
Leukocyte count (WBC)
Normal Findings - ANSWER-4.5-11.1 10^3 /microL.
Platelet Count
define - ANSWER-function in blood clotting
Platelet Count
Normal Findings: Male | Female - ANSWER-Male: 165 - 332 x 10^9/L
Urinalysis - ANSWER-used to screen for multiple substances such as urinary tract infection (UTI), fluid
imbalance, kidney or liver disease.
Specific Gravity Range - urinalysis - ANSWER-Specific Gravity of 1.001-1.029
*no blood, white blood cells, red blood cells or pus in urine.
*Negative for protein or glucose in urine.
Abnormal findings - urinalysis - ANSWER-*If specific gravity is high or low may indicate fluid imbalance in
the body
(dehydration or over hydration)
*If positive for blood, white blood cells, or pus in urine, can be indicative of a urinary tract infection.
*If protein or glucose present, can be indicative of poorly controlled diabetes or kidney disease.
