DEFINITION AND NORMAL VALUES Term: Albumin Definition: Important for maintaining osmotic pressure. Normal Value: 3.5-5.5 g/dL Term: Total Bilirubin Definition: Breakdown of red blood cells that causes yellow discoloration of the skin Normal Value: 0.1-1.2 mg/dL Term: Ammonia Definition: Used to evaluate conditions like hepatic encephalopathy Normal Value: 15-45 µg/dL Term: Serum Lactate Definition: Indicates hypoxia or mitochondrial disorders affecting the nervous system. Normal Value: 0.5-2.2 mmol/L Term: CK-MB (Creatine Kinase-MB) Definition: is described as an important cardiac biomarker used to assess myocardial injury. Normal Value: 0-5 iu/L Term: Glucose Definition: Primary source of energy for the body\'s cells.  Normal Range (fasting): 70-100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L)  Term: Lactic Acid Definition: Produced when glucose is broken down for energy without enough oxygen.  Normal Range (blood): 4.5 - 19.8 mg/d Term: Platelets Definition: Tiny blood cells crucial for blood clotting.  Normal Range: 150,000-450,000 platelets/microliter  Term: Myoglobin: Definition: An iron- and oxygen-binding protein found primarily in the heart and skeletal muscles.  Normal Range: 5-70 mcg/L Term: Total Protein Definition: Sum of all proteins in the blood.  Normal Range: 6 -8 g/dL
