Study Notes
Electrolyte and Metabolic Lab Values
- Sodium: Normal range is 135-145 mEq/L, essential for fluid balance and nerve function.
- Potassium: Normal range is 3.5-5 mEq/L, crucial for muscle contractions and heart function.
- Chloride: Normal range is 95-107 mEq/L, involves maintaining osmotic pressure and acid-base balance.
- HCO3 (Bicarbonate): Normal range is 20-29 mEq/L, plays a key role in maintaining blood pH and acid-base balance.
- Creatinine: Normal range is 0.5-1.2 mEq/L, indicator of kidney function and muscle metabolism.
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): Normal range is 7-20 mg/dL, reflects protein metabolism and kidney function.
- Fasting Glucose: Important parameter for assessing blood sugar levels, specific range not provided.
