Common laboratory values:
Hemoglobin (Hgb) • Male: 13-18 g/dL • Female: 12-16 g/dL
White Blood Cells (WBC) • 4,000-11,000 /mm³
Platelets • 150,000-450,000 /mm³
Sodium (Na) • 135-145 mEq/L
Potassium (K) • 3.5-5.0 mEq/L
Creatinine • 0.6-1.3 mg/dL
These lab values are important for assessing infection, anemia, kidney function, and electrolyte balance.
