Sodium Sodium (Na)Sodium (Na) helps regulate the acid-base balance within the body. It is part of the routine assessment undertaken in an electrolyte assessment. Low blood concentrations (hyponatraemia) can be due to decreased intake or increased loss (e.g. in diarrhoea, vomiting or excessive use of diuretics).'s result is normal. |
134 - 145 mmol/L | 140 | ||
| PotassiumPotassium (K)Potassium (K) helps regulate the acid-base balance within the body. It is part of the routine assessment undertaken in an electrolyte assessment. 's result is normal. |
3.5 - 5.3 mmol/L | 4.5 | ||
| UreaUreaUrea (also known as Blood Urea Nitrogen – BUN) is a test that investigates the kidney's ability to function effectively. It is undertaken as a part of the routine urea and electrolyte levels. 's result is high indicating a problem is occurring. |
2.9 - 7.5 mmol/L | 10.0 | ||
| CreatinineCreatinineCreatinine is used to investigate the ability of the kidneys to filter urine. 's result is high. |
70 - 120 µmol/L | 190 | ||
| GFRGFRGFR - calculated creatinine clearance - is a more accurate way of investigating changes in kidney functioning. was not tested. |
(ml/min) | |||
| GlucoseGlucoseGlucose is part of the routine assessment undertaken in an electrolyte assessment. High glucose levels indicate diabetes but can also be caused by acute stress to the body (e.g. in a heart attack or stroke, in response to trauma, in Cushing's syndrome and pancreatitis). 's result is at the high end of the range. |
4.0 - 10.0 mmol/L | 9.9 | ||
| AmylaseAmylaseAmylase is a test used to diagnose pancreatitis. was not tested. |
0 - 110 U/L | |||
| CKCreatine Kinase (CK)Increased amounts of the Creatine Kinase (CK) enzyme are released into the blood stream when there is muscle damage. was not tested. |
0 - 170 U/L | |||
| ALTAlanine aminotransferase (ALT) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or Serum glutamic-transaminase (SGPT) is an enzyme found mostly in the liver. Detecting the enzyme in the blood stream generally means there is some associated liver damage. 's result is high. |
0 - 45 U/L | 40 | ||
| γGTGamma-Glutamyl Transferase (γGT)Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (γGT) is assessed to investigate liver damage and bile duct problems. 's result is high. |
0 - 40 U/L | 50 | ||
| BilirubinBilirubinBilirubin is a byproduct of breaking down the haem from haemoglobin when red bloods cells die helping to show how easily red blood cells break down, the liver converts bilirubin and how the body excretes it. High levels of bilirubin can collect in the blood stream and colour the patient's skin, and sclera in the eyes, yellow. 's result is high. |
0 - 21 µmol/L | 40 | ||
| Alk PhosphateAlkaline Phosphatase (ALK Phos or ALP)Alkaline Phosphatase (ALK Phos or ALP) is an enzyme found in different body tissues. Usually measured to assess liver function and the effectiveness of bile. 's result is high. |
40 - 130 U/L | 180 | ||
| AlbuminAlbuminAlbumin is a protein made in the liver and is used in different ways in the body. It makes up around 60% of the total protein in blood and supports the transportation of vitamins, electolytes and hormones around the body. 's result is low suggesting that body processes are using up the available albumin (e.g. in the development of shock as inflammation and sepsis is progressing). |
30 - 50 g/L | 24 | ||
| CRPC-Reactive Protein (CRP)C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a protein made in the liver that is released in response to infection and/or inflammation. 's result is high indicating sepsis and/or inflammation is present. |
0 - 10 mg/dL | 110 | ||
| TroponinTroponinTroponin is a group of proteins that support and regulate muscle contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscle. This is usually undertaken if cardiac damage is suspected. was not tested. |
up to 0.1 µg/L | |||
| BicarbonateBicarbonateBicarbonate helps regulate the acid-base balance within the body. It is part of the routine assessment undertaken in an electrolyte assessment. was not tested. |
24 - 32 mmol/L | |||
| CalciumCalciumCalcium is a mineral that is essential for many body processes including blood clotting, cell signalling, muscle contactions and bone density. was not tested. |
2.2 - 2.6 mmol/L | |||
| PhosphatePhosphatePhosphate is required for effective muscle contractions and nerve functioning, bone growth and producing energy. The phosphate buffering system helps to regulate acid-base balance. was not tested. |
0.8 - 1.45 mmol/L | |||
| MagnesiumMagnesiumMagnesium is a mineral that supports effective muscle contractions, nerve function, bone density and energy production. was not tested. |
0.7 - 1.0 mmol/L | |||
