What is PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time)
135-145 mEq/L
monitor fluid and electolytes
What is Na+ (Sodium)
150,000-450,000 cells/mcl

Protects the body from infection
What is WBC (White Blood Cells)
Part of the BMP
7-20 mg/dl
indirect measurement of renal function and glomerular filtration rate. Also helps to measure liver function. High values indicate renal impairment
What is a BUN
0.5-2.2 mEq/L
measurement of the amount of lactic acid in the tissues. Increases when the muscles start to breakdown such as in shock, trauma, sepsis, etc
What is Lactic Acid
0.8-1.2
how long it take blood to form a clot, used when patient are taking warfarin
What is INR (International National Ratio)
97-107 mEq/L
acid base balance and hydration
What is Cl- (Chloride)
Male: 43-49% Female: 38-44%
Helps to monitor for anemia, dehydration, and bleeding. Represents the percentage of RBC's as compared to the total blood volume
What is Hematocrit
<250 ng/ml
detects clots such as PE, DVT
What is D-Dimer
1.6-2.5 mg/dl
electrolyte monitor
What is Magnesium
30-40 sec
effectiveness of medication such as heparin for clotting of blood..
What is aPTT (activated Partial Thrombplastin Time
70-115 mg/dl
measure of blood sugar
What is glucose
Male: 4.71-5.14 Female: 4.2-4.87 million mcl
Carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body
What is RBC (Red Blood Cells)
<0.4 ng/mL
Cardiac Protein...Marker of cardiac injury.. Chronic Renal Failure can cause Troponin to increase also
What is Troponin
Part of the BMP
0.7-1.4 mg/dl
renal impairment if levels are high
What is Cr (Creatnine)
aPTT uses an activator to reduce the time taken for blood clotting whereas PTT operates under regular conditions for blood clotting.
What is the difference between aPTT and PTT:
8.2-10.2 mg/dl
acid base balance and hydration
