Topic Lab Values
 Growth Rate
Introduction
Laboratory testing involves the checking of blood, urine, and
body tissue samples in order to see if the resulting lab values
fall within the normal range. Lab values are used to determine
a patient’s overall health and well-being.

There are many factors that can affect a patient’s result and lab
values but some of the most common factors are gender, age,
race, the medicines taken, and the presence of any
underlying condition(s).

The video below gives a good introduction to lab values and

normal ranges.

Care Plan
The fundamental consideration when reviewing patient
laboratory findings is toward determining an appropriate plan
of care and weighing the anticipated benefit of a therapy
intervention against the potential of the patient.

Physical therapists should:

 Carefully anticipate the physiological changes that might

have occurred whenever a laboratory value is out of range.
 Be aware of the heightened risk level if a value should fall
into the critical range.
 Be aware of the importance of understanding pertinent lab
values and the subsequent potential of adverse events when
practicing in this kind of practice setting.
When commencing or continuing care of patients in the acute
care setting, always use sound clinical decision making .
The Lab values alone may or may not determine whether you’re
going to intervene with a patient, or whether you’re going to
hold.

Be aware

Things to consider when looking at the patient’s condition

 Potential drug interactions

 Significant trends in the values over time
 Electrolyte panels might change with intravenous infusions,
medications, and diet
 Chronic medical conditions (such as Anaemia) might
be asymptomatic during exercise, while a patient with
precipitous drop in hemoglobin and hematocrit might
require urgent medical attention .
Complete Blood Count

Complete Blood Count is one of the most basic

laboratory examinations to assess the overall health status
of a patient. It can help diagnose infections,
autoimmune disorders, anemia, and other blood
diseases.

Electrolytes
Electrolytes are minerals that are involved in some of the
important functions in our body. Serum electrolytes are
routinely ordered for a patient admitted to a hospital as a
screening test for electrolyte and acid-base imbalances .

Coagultion
Clotting is what prevents excessive bleeding, the blood moving
through your vessels shouldn’t clot. If such clots form, they can
travel through the bloodstream to the heart, lungs, or brain.
This can cause a heart attack, stroke, or even death.

Coagulation tests measure the blood’s ability to clot, and how

long it takes to clot. Testing can help assess the risk of
excessive bleeding or developing clots (thrombosis)
somewhere in your blood vessels. Coagulation tests are useful
in monitoring people who take medications that affect clotting
ability. Coagulation tests are also sometimes recommended
before surgery.
Conditions that can cause coagulation problems include:

 Liver disease
 Thrombophilia, which is excessive clotting
 Hemophilia, which is an inability to clot normally
There are many types of coagulation tests. Some of the more
common are listed below.

Immunoglobulins
or antibodies are molecules produced by white blood cells.
They function as the primary part of the immune response by
determining and binding to antigens, such
as viruses and bacteria.

Globulins, total: 2.5-3.5 g/dL

 IgG: 640-1430 mg/dL

 IgA: 70-300 mg/dL
 IgM: 20-140 mg/dL
 IgD: less than 8 mg/dL
 IgE: 0-90 U/mL

Urinalysis
Urine is another commonly used fluid for lab testing. It’s the
most suitable sample for evaluating kidney functions.

 Urine analysis is the test used to evaluate urine samples.

This diagnostic examination is important in diagnosing
certain illnesses including diabetes mellitus and chronic
nephritis.
 Urinalysis often involves three stages, the first is the visual
exam, followed by the dipstick test, and lastly the
microscopic exam. When doing a urinalysis, best practice is
to use the first morning urine sample of a patient.
Topic Growth Rate
Introduction
The growth rate of a value (GDP, turnover, wages,
etc.) measures its change from one period to another (month,
quarter, year). It is very generally expressed as a percentage.
