COMMON NORMAL LABORATORY VALUES
Hemoglobin (Hgb) Male: 13.5 - 17.5 g/dL Female: 12.0 - 15.5 g/dL
Hematocrit (Hct) Male: 41% - 53% Female: 36% - 46%
White Blood Cells (WBC) 4,500 - 11,000 cells/mm3
Platelets 150,000 - 450,000 /mm3
Fasting Blood Glucose 70 - 99 mg/dL
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) 7 - 20 mg/dL
Creatinine 0.6 - 1.3 mg/dL
Sodium 135 - 145 mEq/L
Potassium 3.5 - 5.0 mEq/L
These values are important for board exam and clinical practice.
