- Sodium is the most abundant Cation in the blood and its chief base. It functions in the body to maintain osmotic pressure, acid-base balance and to transmit nerve impulses. Very Low value: seizure and Neurologic Sx.

Normal Adult Range: 135-146 mEq/L
Optimal Adult Reading: 140.5

POTASSIUM
- Potassium is the major intracellular Cation. Very low value: Cardiac arrhythmia.

Normal Range: 3.5 - 5.5 mEq/L
Optimal Adult Reading: 4.5
CHLORIDE
- Elevated levels are related to acidosis as wells too much water crossing the cell membrane

Decreased levels with decreased serum albumin may indicate water deficiency crossing the cell membrane (edema). - Diabetes

Normal Adult Range: 95-112 mEq/L

Optimal Adult Reading: 103 mEq/L

Discussion
Chloride contributes to the body’s acid/base balance. Along with Sodium, Potassium and Carbon Dioxide, it is important in evaluating acid/base relationships, state of hydration, adrenal and renal functions. Its level varies inversely with Carbon Dioxide. Chloride elevation indicates acidosis, decrease indicate alkalosis.

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)

Normal Adult Range: 22-32 mEq/L
Optimal Adult Reading: 27
Normal Children's Range - 20 - 28 mEq/L
Optimal Children's Reading: 24

CALCIUM

Normal Adult Range: 8.5-10.3 mEq/dl

Optimal Adult Reading: 9.4

Discussion

Serum calcium is not at all reflective of total body stores of calcium but rather reflects the metabolic and hormonal state of the individual. Ionic or free calcium is not only the biologically active form of calcium but reflects the amount of albumin and the blood pH.

Serum calcium can not be properly interpreted without serum albumin level. Use the formula Adjusted Calcium = Serum calcium - serum albumin 4. By far the most common causes of hypocalcaemia are primary hyperparathyroidism, malignancy, and drug-induced. A PTH, calcium, albumin and phosphorus level drawn simultaneously helps classify the etiology into main groups. Watch for signs of calcium deposition and kidney stones
MAGNESIUM
Optimal Range: 2-3 mg/DL

Discussion

The serum magnesium is not reflective of total magnesium stores. Unfortunately there is not a good test for magnesium, but a red cell Mg level is preferable to serum magnesium. Approximately 2/3 to ¾ of magnesium in blood is not attached to protein.

PHOSPHORUS

Normal Adult Range: 0 .7 - 1.4 mg/dl
Optimal Adult Reading: 1.05

Discussion

Creatinine is formed in muscles from creatine, which is formed in the liver. It is a substance that in health is easily excreted by the kidney. Because all Creatinine filtered by the kidneys is excreted into the urine, its levels at any given time interval are ***************
alent to the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR).

Lipids:-

CHOLESTEROL
- High density lipoproteins (HDL) is desired as opposed to the low density lipoproteins (LDL), two types of cholesterol. Elevated cholesterol has been seen in arthrosclerosis, diabetes, hypothyroidism, pancreatic dysfunction and pregnancy. Low levels are seen in depression, malnutrition, liver insufficiency, malignancies, anemia, Hyperthyroidism and infection.

Normal Adult Range: 120 - 240 mg/dl
Optimal Range: 185-200 mg/dl

Discussion

Cholesterol is an important part of our diet. It is essential to the proper function and structure of cell membranes. Bile acids are derived from cholesterol. The liver, adrenals, sex glands, intestines, and even the placenta, manufacture cholesterol. Cholesterol is best used as an indicator of other metabolic dysfunction. Should not be considered a disease by itself unless extreme, which indicates familial cause. Check triglycerides and HDL/LDL. Cholesterol is increased with endocrine hypo function. Low levels are not necessarily desirable as it is associated with increased incidence of malignancy and mental illness
LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
- studies correlate the association between high levels of LDL and arterial arthrosclerosis
Normal Adult Range: 62 - 130 mg/dl
Optimal Adult Reading: 81 mg/dl
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)
- A high level of HDL is an indication of a healthy metabolic system if there is no sign of liver disease or intoxication.
Normal Adult Range: 35 - 135 mg/dl
Optimal Adult Reading: 85 mg/dl

Discussion

HDL is comprised of phospholipids and one or two apolipoproteins. It plays a role in the metabolism of other lipoproteins and in the transport of cholesterol to the liver. The HDL is a class of lipoproteins produced by the liver and intestines.A combination of increased triglyceride, cholesterol, and LDL with reduced HDL is indicative of atherogenic tendencies. A diet high in sugar may decrease HDL while increasing total serum cholesterol
TRIGLYCERIDES
- Increased levels may be present in atherosclerosis, hypothyroidism, liver disease, pancreatitis, myocardial infarction, metabolic disorders, toxemia, and nephrotic syndrome. Decreased levels may be present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, brain infarction, hyperthyroidism, malnutrition, and malabsorption.

Optimal Adult Reading: 100
CHOLESTEROL / LDL RATIO
Normal Adult Range: 1 - 6
Optimal Adult Reading: 3.5

Thyroid:-

Increased levels are found in hyperthyroidism, acute thyroiditis, and hepatitis. Low levels can be found in Cretinism, hypothyroidism, cirrhosis, malnutrition, and chronic thyroiditis.
Normal Adult Range: 4 - 12 ng/dl
Optimal Adult Reading: 8 ng/dl

Free THYROXINE (T4)-
A low level may indicate a diseased thyroid gland or may indicate a non-functioning pituitary gland which is not stimulating the thyroid to produce T4 . If T4 is low and TSH is normal , that is more likely to indicate a problem with the pituitary .
Normal Adult Range: 8-2 ng/dl
Free Triiodothyronine (T3)
- Sometimes the diseased thyroid gland will start producing very high levels of T3 but still produce normal level of T4. Therefore measurement of both hormones provides an even more accurate evaluation of thyroid function.
Normal Adult Range1.4-4.4 pg/ml

THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH)
- produced by the anterior pituitary gland, causes the release and distribution of stored thyroid hormones. When T4 and T3 are too high, TSH secretion decreases, when T4 and T3 are low, TSHsecretion increases. Mid–rangenormal in most labs is about 1.7. A high level of TSH combined with a low or normal T4 level generally indicates hypothyroidism, which can have an effect on fertility.
Normal Adult Range: .0.4-4.0 mlU/l

Cardiac:-

Impaired glucose tolerance (post-prandial)
Late/large malignancies
Endocrine hypo function (thyroid, adrenal cortex, anterior pituitary)
Protein malnutrition
Sometimes in pregnancy
Liver dysfunction
After gastric surgeries (altered gastric emptying)}

IRON

Optimal Range: 75-150 mg/ml

Causes of Increased
Ineffective erythropoiesis (thalassemias, sideroblastic)
Intra-vascular hemolysis
Liver disease (alcohol, portocaval shunts)
Excessive iron intake
Causes of Decreased
Iron deficiency (low ferritin level; nutritional, blood loss, , small bowel disease, increased demand)
Chronic disease (liver dysfunction, renal dysfunction, etc.)
Discussion

Iron is known for its relationship to hemoglobin, which transports oxygen. Confirm true iron deficiency before supplementing iron. Never give Iron to someone who has an inflamed liver because this can be toxic. With B[sub]12 or Iron deficiencies, give special consideration to increased occurrence in the elderly. The most important test for iron is the serum ferritin.

Venous blood was tested for human chronic gonadotropin (hCG), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxin (FT4) and total triiodothyronine (TT3). Early pregnancy thyroid function tests showed a significant decrease (p < 0.001) in TSH and a significant increase (p < 0.001) in TT3 as compared to the nonpregnant state; FT4, however, did not change significantly. In 8 (11.2%) pregnant subjects, TT3 levels were above the normal range for nonpregnant controls. Elevated thyroid function in early pregnancy is transient, and does not usually warrant antithyroid treatment. Thus, any conclusion regarding thyroid function in early pregnancy should be based on pregnant controls rather than general population controls.
Uric Acid
Adult females: 2.0 - 6.5 mg/dl; in early pregnancy uric acid levels fall by about one-
third but rise to non-pregnant levels by term
