1 PATIENT EDUCATION patienteducation.osumc.edu Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the body. It also carries away waste products. The heart pumps blood in your body through a system of blood vessels. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and a clear fluid called plasma. It also has many other parts such as electrolytes, proteins, fats, sugar, and hormones. One way your doctor can check your blood is by doing blood tests. A small sample of your blood is taken and sent to the lab. The test results help your doctor: Check your general health See how well your body organs are working Find health problems, diseases and disorders Watch the body s response to medicines and treatments Common blood tests include a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP). Note: Some health problems may require ongoing monitoring or repeat testing. It is important to know that normal range values can vary from laboratory to laboratory. Talk with your doctor if you have questions about your test results. Complete Blood Count (CBC) A CBC shows the number of white and red blood cells, hematocrit, hemoglobin and platelets in your blood. This test helps your doctor look for signs of anemia, infection, bleeding problems or certain diseases and disorders. This handout is for informational purposes only. Talk with your doctor or health care team if you have any questions about your care. February 25, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
2 White Blood Cells (WBC) Normal range (Total WBC): K/uL White blood cells fight infection and destroy bacteria and germs that enter the body. They are also called leukocytes. A high number of WBCs can be a sign of infection. A low number of WBCs can be caused by certain medicines, cancer treatments or diseases. A CBC with differential, sometimes known as the diff, shows the amount (percentage) of each type of white blood cell in your blood. Each type has a different job in helping the body fight infection. Red Blood Cells (RBC) Normal range: M/uL for men Normal range: M/uL for women Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body s tissues. A high count can be a sign of heart, kidney or lung problems. It can also be caused by dehydration (not drinking enough water). A low count can be caused by bleeding, anemia, certain medicines, nutrition problems or other diseases. Hemoglobin (Hgb) Normal range: g/dl for men Normal range: g/dl for women Hemoglobin is a protein found in the RBCs that gives blood its red color. Hemoglobin picks up oxygen in the lungs and carries it to the body s tissues. Hemoglobin also carries away carbon dioxide waste. A high hemoglobin may be a sign of heart or lung disease. A low hemoglobin can be caused by bleeding, anemia, certain medicines, nutrition problems or other diseases.
3 Hematocrit (Hct) Normal range: 39% 49% for men Normal range: 35% 45% for women The hematocrit shows how much of your blood is made up of red blood cells. Test results are given as a percentage. A high hematocrit may be a sign of dehydration, heart or lung conditions. A low hematocrit can be caused by bleeding, anemia, certain medicines, nutrition problems or other diseases. Platelets (Plts) Normal range: K/uL Platelets help stop bleeding by forming blood clots. A high platelet count may be caused by types of anemia, cancers or diseases. A low platelet count can be caused by certain medicines, cancer treatments, bleeding disorders or other diseases. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) A CMP is a group of blood tests that check your body s balance of electrolytes, blood sugar, proteins and how well the liver and kidneys are working. Sodium (Na) Normal range: mmol/l Sodium is an electrolyte that helps keep water balanced in your body. It also helps your muscles and nerves work properly. A high level can be a sign of dehydration. A low level may be caused by kidney problems, vomiting, diarrhea, or sweating too much. Medicines such as diuretics (water pills) can also lower sodium level. Potassium (K) Normal range: mmol/l Potassium is an electrolyte that helps your heart, muscles and nerves work properly. A very high or very low level of potassium can be harmful (serious). A high level may be a sign of kidney problems. A low level may be caused by a loss of fluids due to vomiting or diarrhea, and medicines such as diuretics (water pills).
4 Total Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Normal range: mmol/l Carbon dioxide is a waste product in the blood. The kidneys and lungs work to control the amount of waste products in your body. A high level may be caused by breathing problems, lung disease or other health problems. A low level may be caused by diarrhea, kidney disease or other health problems. Chloride (Cl) Normal range: mmol/l Chloride is an electrolyte found in the body. It works together with other electrolytes to keep your body s cells and fluid in balance. A high level may be a sign of kidney problems. A low level can be caused by vomiting, diarrhea or dehydration. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Normal range: 6 20 mg/dl This test is done to check how well your kidneys are working. Urea nitrogen is a waste product from the breakdown of proteins. If the kidneys are not working well, the BUN level will increase. A high level may be from kidney problems, dehydration or other health problems. A low level can be from a diet low in protein, or problems with your liver. Creatinine (CR) Normal range: mg/dl for men Normal range: mg/dl for women Creatinine is a waste product from the normal breakdown of muscle tissue in the body. It is checked to see how well your kidneys are working. A high level can be a sign of kidney problems. A low level may be due to reduced muscle mass caused by health problems or normal aging.
5 Glucose (Gluc) Normal range: mg/dl Blood glucose is also known as blood sugar. Glucose comes from the different foods we eat and gives the body energy. Testing glucose levels can help your doctor check for diabetes. A high level can be caused by diabetes, stress, infection or illness. A low level may be from health problems or a poor diet. Some medicines can also cause a change in blood sugar levels. Calcium (Ca) Normal range: mg/dl Calcium is a mineral needed for healthy bones and teeth. Calcium is also important for blood clotting and helping the heart, nerves and muscles work properly. Problems with your kidneys, parathyroid or some bone diseases may cause a high calcium level. A low level may be caused from certain medicines, a lack of nutrients in your diet or kidney problems. Proteins Proteins are made in the liver and are important for keeping body tissues and organs healthy. Protein tests check for the amount of protein in the blood. Albumin (Alb) Normal range: g/dl Albumin is one of the main proteins in the blood. It keeps the fluid in body tissues at a normal level. The amount of protein in the foods you eat may affect your albumin level. A high level may be caused by dehydration. A low level may be a sign of not eating enough protein, difficulty with digesting proteins and liver or kidney problems. Total Protein Normal range: g/dl A total protein is done to check for nutrition problems and how well your liver and kidneys are working. A high level can be caused by long lasting inflammation or infections. A low level may be a sign of poor nutrition and/or liver or kidney problems.
6 Liver Tests There is a group of tests your doctor can do to check how well your liver is working. High levels may be a sign of liver problems caused by certain medicines or blood diseases and disorders. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Normal range: U/L Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Normal range: 5-34 U/L Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Normal range: 8-35 U/L for women Normal range: U/L for men Total Bilirubin Normal adult range: mg/dl A bilirubin test is done to check how well the liver is working. Bilirubin is a waste product in the blood. It is made from the breakdown of old red blood cells. When the liver is not working, bilirubin builds up in the blood. This causes your skin and whites of your eyes to turn yellow (jaundice). This condition can happen from damage to the liver.
