I. Blood Chemistry

NORMAL VALUES RESULT INDICATIONS

Fasting blood sugar 7.7 mmol/L Increased level; provisional diagnosis of diabetes
(4.1-5.9 mmol/L)
Triglyceride 1.37 mmol/L Normal
(Less than 1.70 mmol/L)
Blood Uric Acid 281 umol/L Normal

Creatinine (serum) 60 umol/L Normal
(F:53-106 umol/L)
Blood urea Nitrogen 3.30 mmol/L Normal

II. Hematology

Laboratory Result Normal Values Clinical Significance

WBC Count 10.8 x 10 /L 4.5-11.3 - Normal

Hematocrit 0.93 0.36-0.46 -Increased level; maybe due to dehydration; may reflect a
condition called polycythemia vera that is, when a person has
more than the normal number of red blood cells. This can be
due to a problem with the bone marrow or, more commonly,
as compensation for inadequate lung function (the bone
marrow manufactures more red blood cells in order to carry
enough oxygen throughout your body).

Neutrophils 0.66 0.45-0.65 - Increased level; in response to bacterial infection or

inflammatory disease. Severe elevations in neutrophils may
be caused by various bone marrow disorders, such as chronic
myelogenous leukemia
Lymphocytes 0.13 0.20-0.35
- Normal
Eosinophils 0.01 0.02-0.04 -Decreased level; result of infection.
