Surely any person ever has done blood tests. Moreover, they are binding on each at least once a year and is about to receive direction from your personal physician. But what the figures mean when there is reason to believe that something is wrong and what should be done in this case.
General blood tests
For them, most often takes blood from the finger to determine any blood disease or inflammatory process. Here the importance of numbers and letters in the list of results:
RBC - these letters are marked erythrocyte (red blood cells). One milliliter of blood should contain 3,8 to 5.8 million red blood cells. If they are less, this is a sign of anemia. In this case, the physician should follow the following indicator.
HGB - hemoglobin, ie protein contained in red blood cells. If it is low (in norm is 120-160 grams per liter for women and about 20 g / l more for men) can speak for anemia due to iron deficiency. The low level of hemoglobin and prevents blood clotting and therefore may lead to severe bleeding. If it is in excess, it is a chronic leukosis - benign blood disorder.
NST - These platelets are involved in blood clotting. As a rule they should be from 350 to 500 thousand in 1 ml of blood. Reduced their strength increased evidence of bleeding, a tendency to bruise and an indication of some blood diseases.
WBC (white blood cells). As a rule they should be 3,5-10 thousands in 1 ml. Reducing or increasing their amount is a sign of other inflammatory processes in the body to be established through additional studies and reviews.
Limph - lymphocytes must be up to 30% of the total leukocytes. Exceeding the norm may be a sign of tuberculosis. Significant increase in lymphocytes was observed in limphofectosis, but definitive conclusions can be made only by a specialist after conducting further research.
EOU (eosinophils) - if they are more than 5%, this means that the person may be suffering from some allergy.
ESR - the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation rate to not exceed 17-18 mm in an hour. If erythrocytes were precipitated with a speed of 20 millimeters per hour, this is a sign of inflammation.
Biochemistry - If total blood tests show any deviations from the norm is assigned biochemical analysis. In his blood is taken from a vein and this morning on an empty stomach. Biochemistry shows: how they work, the liver, kidneys, changes in water-salt exchange and balance of trace elements (calcium, potassium, etc.)
Glucose - its rate is 3,50-5,80 mm 1 liters of blood. Increased its level indicates the likelihood of diabetes mellitus or disturbances in tolerance to glucose. In this case must be made in consultation with endocrinologist.
Urea and residual nitrogen - these substances remain in the blood after filtration of fluids through the kidneys. The rate of urea is 2,5-8,3 mm per liter. Exceeding the normal evidence of problems in the operation of the urinary and kidney disorders in filtration - urea were forfeited as a result of this is done poisoning the organism that provokes the development of certain diseases - such as arthritis due to gout.
Creatinine - a rate that ranges from 44 to 106 millimeters to 1 liter and evidence for renal function. Low levels of creatinine provoke the development of renal failure.
Cholesterol - it is a sign of the intensity of metabolism. Its rate is 2,6-6,7 mm per 1 liter. High cholesterol provokes the development of atherosclerosis.
