Lab Analysis: Diagnosing Patients

Based on the data collected, interpret the heath conditions observed in all 4 patients. Please highlight any measurements outside of a normal range, any possible diagnoses and possible treatments.

for all patients :

Tests outside of normal range:

Possible Diagnosis:

Possible Treatment:

Answer 1

LEU - leukocytes also called White blood cells, Normal range is 4,000 and 11,000 per microliter of blood.

For the moderate LEU patient advice to take Vitamin C. Eating Vitamin C will help regulate the levels of white blood cells. Fruits like lemons, oranges, and lime are rich in vitamin C, and so are papayas, berries, guavas, and pineapples.

NIT - 7 to 20 mg/dL

Possible Diagnosis:

Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair etc.

Negative nitrogen balance is associated with burns, serious tissue injuries, fevers, hyperthyroidism, wasting diseases etc

URO - 0.1-1.8 mg/dl

Increased amounts of bilirubin are formed in hemolysis, which generates increased urobilinogen in the gut. In liver disease (such as hepatitis), the intrahepatic urobilinogen cycle is inhibited also increasing urobilinogen levels.

PRO - 0 to 14 mg/dL

PH - Normal 7.35 and 7.45

7 is neutral

lower the pH, the more acidic the blood

Higher than 7 alkalinity
