Study Notes
Lab Values
- Sodium (Na+): Normal range = 135-145 mEq/L. Low sodium - slow, high sodium - bloated.
- Potassium (K+): Normal range = 3.5-5.0 mEq/L. Pumps heart muscles.
- Chloride (Cl-): Normal range = 97-107 mEq/L. Maintains acid-base balance.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Normal range = 23-29 mEq/L. Helps maintain acid-base balance, high or low values can lead to acidosis.
- Bicarbonate (HCO3): Normal range = 23-30 mEq/L. Related to acid-base balance, pushes body to alkaline state.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Hemoglobin: Normal = 12-18 g/dL (risky 8-11, life-threatening 0-7).
- Hematocrit: Normal = 36-54%. Low Hct = anemia/bleeding, High Hct=dehydration.
- Red blood cell count (RBC): 4-6 million/mm³. Low = anemia or renal failure, High = dehydration.
White Blood Cells (WBC) & Coagulation Panel
- WBC Total Count: Normal = 5,000-10,000/mm³. Higher = leukocytosis, Lower = leukopenia.
- CD4 Count: Normal = Over 200. Lower = AIDS.
- Platelets: Normal range = 150,000-400,000/mm³.
