DATE LABORATORY EXAMINATION RESULT NORMAL VALUES INTERPRETATION SIGNIFICANCE

September Hematology
06, 2010  RBC 3.8 mm3 4-6 mm3 Slightly below normal range Decreases in cases of anemias and
36 % hemorrhage.
 HEMATOCRIT 37 % - 47 % Slightly below normal range Decreases in cases of anemias and
12 g/L hemorrhage.
 HEMOGLOBIN 11- 16 g/L Within normal range May increase in case of dehydration
and in COPD as compensatory
6.2 g/L mechanism of the body to hypoxia.
 WBC 5- 10- g/L Within normal range Increases in acute infection. In the
case of our patient there is no clinical
25 % significance.
 LYMPHOCYTES 25- 35 % Within normal range Increases in infectious
mononucleosis and hepatitis. Has no
8% clinical significance in our patient.
 MONOCYTES 3- 7 % Slightly elevated Increases in viral infection and
3% hemolytic disorder.
1-3 % Within normal range Increases in allergy and parasitic
 EOSINOPHILS
disease.

Hematology
33 % 4-6 mm3 Below normal range Decreases in cases of anemias and
 RBC
hemorrhage.
11.1 g/L 37 %- 0.47 %
  HEMATOCRIT Below normal range Decreases in cases of anemias and
11- 16 g/L hemorrhage.
 HEMOGLOBIN 4.8 g/L Within normal range May increase in case of dehydration
and in COPD as compensatory
24 % 5- 10- g/L mechanism of the body to hypoxia.
 WBC Below normal range Decreases in leucopenia.
10% 25- 35 %
 LYMPHOCYTES Slightly below normal range Decreases in aplastic anemia and
3- 7 % immunodefiency.
 MONOCYTES 5% Above normal range Increases in viral and parasitic
infection, collagen and hemolytic
1-3 % disorders.
 EOSINOPHILS Above normal range Increases in allergy and parasitic
disease.
Yellowish
September Urinalysis
05, 2010 Hazy Amber, straw
 Color
Normal Concentrated urine is darker in color.
Transparent
 Transparency
1.010 Abnormal Dilute urine may appear almost
clear. But vaginal drainage may
1.010- 1.025 cause cloudy urine.
 Specific Gravity 6.0 Normal Concentrated urine has higher
specific gravity and diluted urine has
4.5- 8 a lower specific gravity.
 pH Normal Freshly voided urine is somewhat
acidic. Alkaline urine may indicate
0 UTI, state of alkalosis and diet high
in fruits and vegetables.
0 Absent
 WBC Normal Blood indicates UTI and kidney
Absent disease as well as bleeding in the
 RBC Normal urinary tract.

 September Blood Chemistry 0.05- 1.2
09, 2010  Creatinine 264 Within normal range The amount of creatinine in the
blood relates to renal excretory
Up to 220 U/L function.
 Amylase Above normal range Amylase(pancreatic juice)
138 neutralizes the acidic chime coming
from the stomach.
3.7 135- 155 mmol/L
 Sodium Within normal range Decrease Na cause muscle twitching,
3.5- 5.5 mmol/L headache and decrease BP.
 Potassium 8 Within normal range Hypokalemia can cause muscle weak
ness, fatigue, anorexia and cardiac
8.1- 10.4 mg/dL dysrhythmias.
 Calcium Slightly below normal range Decreased Ca level can cause tetatny
with muscle spasms and paresthesia.
