Renal Function
L.R., the patient with a recent stroke and heart condition, got some blood tests done to check various health markers. The results showed that some levels in the blood were higher than
usual, which could mean there might be some health issues.

 L.R.'s creatinine level was 1.75 mg/dL, higher than the normal range of 0.5 - 1.2 mg/dL. This could be a sign that the kidneys might not be working as well as they should,
possibly due to reduced blood flow or other kidney problems.
 The uric acid level in L.R.'s blood was 8.96 mg/dL, which is more than the normal range. This might suggest issues with how the kidneys are handling uric acid or that the body
is producing too much of it. It could be related to kidney problems, gout, or some medications.
 The SGPT level, indicating liver health, was 56.32 U/L, a bit higher than the normal range of 7 - 56 U/L. This could mean there might be some liver injury or inflammation,
possibly due to medications, underlying liver problems, or as a result of the recent stroke.
 L.R.'s BUN level, a marker for kidney function, was 19.58 mg/dL, slightly higher than the normal range of 7 - 20 mg/dL. This could suggest some issues with the kidneys or
dehydration, so we need to check L.R.'s fluid levels.
To take care of L.R., the nursing team will keep a close eye on kidney function by checking urine output and creatinine levels regularly. We'll make sure L.R. stays hydrated unless
there's a reason not to. We'll also review L.R.'s medications to make sure they aren't harming the kidneys and keep an eye on liver function. If there are any issues, we'll work with the
healthcare team to figure out the best way to manage them.
Diet-wise, we'll work with a dietitian to make sure L.R. is eating in a way that helps with the uric acid issue. It might mean avoiding certain foods. Taking medications as prescribed and
keeping up with follow-up appointments are important. We'll also assess the risk of falls, especially considering any difficulties L.R. might have due to the recent stroke.
Hematology Report and Electrolytes
The recent blood tests for our male patient revealed some important information about his health. His white blood cell count (WBC) is 11.49, which is higher than the typical range. This
elevation in WBC may indicate an immune system response to an infection or inflammation in the body.
The hemoglobin level is 12.60, and the hematocrit (Hct) is 0.39. While these values fall within the normal range, they give us insights into the patient's red blood cell health and oxygen-
carrying capacity. The levels suggest that the patient's blood is adequately oxygenated.
Looking at the differential count, we note that neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, are at 86%. This high percentage may be associated with an increased demand for these cells,
possibly due to an infection or other inflammatory processes.
Moving on to electrolytes, the potassium level is 3.79, which falls within the normal range. Potassium is crucial for various bodily functions, including heart rhythm and muscle
contractions. The sodium level is 140.9, also within the normal range. Maintaining the right balance of these electrolytes is essential for overall health and proper bodily functions.
