ANS

WBC :14.7 H-

The normal range is 4.5-10.5

thapatient value is higher than the normal which indicates

• Bacterial infection
• Inflammatory diseases (arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease)
• Leukemia
• Trauma
• Use of steroids

GLUCOSE SCREEN 184 H

A normal fasting blood sugar ranges from 100-125

here the value is 184 , this is high value which indicates diuresis

sodium 135

sodium normal range is 135 to 145 is the normal , here we cannot say the patient is having severe sodium reduction but also due to diuresis there is chance to loose sodium throgh urine

pottasium 3.5

here pottasium is in the normal limit 3.5-4.5

chloride 98

this is also normal , range 96-112

calcium 8.6

8-11 is the normal range

magnesium 1.5

this is under normal value1.7to2.2.1.5 indicates low magnesium in blood

total bilirubin 0.3

is normal

AST 13

An aspartate aminotransferase (AST) test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood. AST is normally found in red blood cells, liver, heart, muscle tissue, pancreas, and kidneys. AST formerly was called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT). Low levels of AST are normally found in the blood.

ALT 21

The normal value for ALT in blood ranges from 29 to 33 units per liter (IU/L) for males and 19 to 25 IU/L for females, but this value can vary depending on the hospital. This range can be affected by certain factors, including gender and age. It's important to discuss your specific results with your doctor.

ALP 105

The ALP level in healthy adults should be 20–140 units per liter (U/L).

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme in a person’s blood that helps break down proteins. The body uses ALP for a wide range of processes, and it plays a particularly important role in liver function and bone development. Using an ALP test, it is possible to measure how much of this enzyme is circulating in a person’s blood.

CRP95.1

Normal range is less than 10mg/l, here we can interpret that the patient is under severe infection or in elevated crp

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a blood test marker for inflammation in the body. CRP is produced in the liver and its level is measured by testing the blood.

Total Protein 7.4                    

The normal range for total protein is between 6 and 8.3 grams per deciliter (g/dL).

is within the range

Albumin 1.8 (L)

The normal range is 3.4 to 5.4 g/dL (34 to 54 g/L).

This carries medicines and hormones throughout your body. It also helps with tissue growth and healing.

Globulin 5.6 (H)
2.0 to 3.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL)

Globulins are a group of proteins in your blood. They are made in your liver by your immune system. Globulins play an important role in liver function, blood clotting, and fighting infection
