Diagnosis happens after symptoms have developed. Objective data


Screening routine check-up before symptoms occur


Monitoring check for side effects of medications, routine blood sugar monitoring, response after treatment


Results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, medications hormone levels, pregnancy, dehydration, eating or exercise.

Electrolytes

Glucose sugar used for energy
Calcium needed by the heart, muscles and CNS
Sodium muscle and nerve function, acid base, blood pressure
Potassium regulate heart rate, muscle contraction, nutrients into the cells, wastes out of cells
Bicarbonate reflects the level of CO2 in your blood.
Chloride balances fluids, regulates BP, muscle contraction, aids in digestion
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measures urea nitrogen (waste from the blood)
Creatinine byproduct of muscle activity removed by the kidneys.
Albumin is a protein, prevents fluid from leaking out of blood vessels into tissue. Carries hormones and vitamins throughout the body.
Total protein albumin and globulins
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)  enzyme that aids in digestion
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) liver enzyme
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) liver enzyme
Bilirubin waste made from old RBCs
