Erytrocyten

What are erythrocytes?

Erythrocytes are red blood cells that transport oxygen through the body via the Hb (see Hb or Haemoglobin). They also transport carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be discharged. The erythrocytes (Ery's) have a red colour due to the Hb but they are special mainly because they do not have a nucleus like other cells. They are made in the bone marrow thereby, for example, prompted by the kidneys making a substance called erythropoietin (EPO also known as doping). The cells live for about 120 days so the bone marrow is busy continuing to make new cells each time. There are about 5.3 million per cubic mm of blood.

Normal values?

In women, the normal value is approximately between 3.8 and 5.5 and in men between 4.3 and 6.0.

Malaria.

In malaria, the plasmodium parasite enters the erythrocyte and grows in it. People who have a form abnormality of the red blood cell, for example sickle cell, do not get malaria.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

FSH

What is FSH?

Follicle-stimulating hormone is formed in the pituitary gland in the brain. It causes the maturation of eggs in women and the maturation of sperm in men. FSH, together with LH (luteinising hormone) (see LH), ensures a proper menstrual cycle. Two weeks before ovulation, FSH ensures oocyte maturation through oestrogen production (see oestrogen); after ovulation (ovulation), together with LH it ensures the formation of the hormone progesterone (see progesterone). It can be measured at what stage ovulation is but also whether menopause has begun.

Normal values?

Women 1.0-8 before and after ovulation

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

ASAT

What is ASAT?

ASAT is aspartic aminotransferease is a substance used to detect liver damage and it is often determined together with ALAT (see ALAT). The ratio of these two substances is an indication for the doctor to determine the status of the liver. If ASAT is higher than ALAT then there is often liver cell death but if the ratio is the opposite with no liver cell death, it is usually viral hepatitis (virus infection of the liver). ASAT is found in many cells of our body and this means that if ASAT is elevated, it could possibly be due to a problem other than with the liver but, for example, a ruptured muscle. This makes ASAT less liver-specific than ALAT.

Normal values?

Men less than 45 and in women less than 35.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

ALAT

What is ALAT?

ALAT is alanine aminotransferase is a substance used to detect liver damage and it is often determined together with the ASAT (see ASAT). The ratio of these two substances is an indication for the doctor to determine the status of the liver. If ASAT is higher than ALAT then there is often liver cell death but if the ratio is the opposite with no liver cell death, then it is usually viral hepatitis (viral infection of the liver).

Normal values?

Men less than 50 and in women less than 40.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

BSE

What is the BSE?

This is where we measure the rate at which erythrocytes (red blood cells) sink into a laboratory tube (sedimentation rate). It gives an impression of whether or not there is an infection and sometimes its severity.

Normal values?

Women under 50 less than 20 and over 50 less than 30. For men, under 50 less than 15 and over 50 less than 20.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Albumin

What is Albumin?

Albumin is a protein in the blood that carries other proteins, hormones, nutrients, drugs and vitamins. The liver makes Albumin. If we do not drink enough fluids, we see that the Albumin in our blood rises. If the kidneys are damaged, you can also find Albumin in the urine and at the same time the Albumin level in the blood will drop. Similarly, if the liver is damaged. Similarly, if blood pressure is too high, the kidneys excrete Albumin.

Normal values?

Men/Women 35-55

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

CK

What is CK?

CK or too creatine kinase is an enzyme found in almost every muscle but also in our brain. When there is damage, the enzyme enters the blood and we can measure this increase. We determine CK to recognise and prosecute muscle diseases. Total CK is a sum of CK-MM (skeletal muscle), CK-MB (cardiac muscle) (see CK-MB) and CK-BB (brain). With damage to heart muscle, CK-MB is elevated.

Normal values?

Men < 200
Women < 170

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

CK-MB

What is CK-MB?

CK-MB is a creatine kinase, an enzyme released after damage to the heart. CK-MB is part of total CK (see CK).
CK-MB levels will rise between 4 and 6 hours after a heart attack and reach their highest levels within 24 hours. After about 3 days, the level will have returned to normal. Now Troponin (see Troponin) is used as a marker for heart attack.

Normal values?

Men < 25
Women < 30

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Alkaline phosphatase

What is Alkaline phosphatase?

This is an enzyme that can split phosphate molecules from other substances. The enzyme is found in several tissues such as liver, intestine and kidney. It is usually determined along with Gamma-GT, ALAT, ASAT because it is usually an elevation due to a liver problem. A bone problem can also be an indication to determine Alkaline phosphatase.

Normal values?

Men/Women less than 125

Amylase

What is amylase?

Amylase is made in the pancreas (pancreas) and salivary glands. It can break down sugars. In inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), amylase may be elevated. Pancreatitis occurs with gallstones but also with excessive alcohol consumption. Amylase is excreted through the kidneys. If the kidneys are not working properly, Amylase levels will also be elevated.

Normal values?

Women/Men less than 107

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

APTT

What is APTT?

APTT is a test used to check for proper blood clotting. In addition, PTT and PT is used.

Blood type

What are blood groups?

It is a classification of different types of blood that may or may not match, think blood transfusions. There are many types of blood groups. In general, we use the ABO system and the Rhesus + or - system. About 85% have Rhesus + blood.
In het algemeen gebruiken wij het ABO systeem en het Rhesus + of – systeem. Ongeveer 85% heeft Rhesus + bloed.

BMI

What is a BMI

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. The BMI tells you whether your weight is healthy in relation to your height. With a healthy weight, you have less risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

How do I calculate my BMI?

1. Divide your weight in kg by your height in metres e.g. divide 80 kg by e.g. 1.80 metres that becomes the answer 44.4444
2. Divide 44.4444 again by your height and the answer is 24.69
3. 24.69 is the BMI in this example

For a woman and man, a BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered good.

A percentage below 18.5 means underweight. A percentage of 25 to 29.9 overweight and above 30 that one is severely overweight (obese).

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

CA

What is CA?

Calcium is involved in building the skeleton, clotting our blood and contracting muscles. In osteoporosis, when bones become brittle, Calcium is determined.

Normal values?

Women/Men 2.10-2.55

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

CEA

What is CEA?

CEA is a glycoprotein, Carcino-Embryonic-Antigen. During foetal development, it is made but has disappeared before birth. In various cancers, it reappears in the blood and can therefore be used as a tumour marker, such as in colon, breast, lung, liver and pancreatic cancer. It is non-specific and therefore can only be used to monitor tumour growth. CEA may also be elevated in smokers.

Normal values?

Women/Men < 2.5

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

CA 15.3

What is CA 15.3?

CA 15.3 is a glycoprotein and is elevated when cancer cells develop. CA 15.3 is used to detect and monitor breast cancer (mammary carcinoma).

CA 19.9

What is CA 19.9?

CA 19.9 is a glycolipid and is produced in epithelial tissues. In this case, tissues that produce mucus. It is used to find and follow up pancreatic adenocarcinoma (pancreatic cancer) and hepatobiliary cancer (cancer of the liver and bile ducts).

CA 125

What is CA 125?

CA 125 is a glycoprotein found in small amounts in the blood. When cancer cells are formed, CA 125 will rise.
CA 125 is used to detect and monitor ovarian cancer (ovarian carcinoma)

CRP

What is CRP?

CRP is C-reactive protein and it is called an acute phase protein. CRP is produced in the liver and it is released into the bloodstream within a few hours of inflammation, such as infection and arthritis, as well as after a heart attack or surgery. CRP can be used to monitor the activity of the disease process.

Normal values?

Men/Women < 10

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Ferritine

What is ferritin?

Ferritin is a protein that can bind and store iron in cells. There is only a small amount in the blood. Determining Ferritin is used to investigate anaemia and whether too much iron is stored in the body (haemochromatosis).

Normal values?

Men 25-250

Women pre-menopausal 20-150
Post-menopausal 20-250

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Glucose

What is glucose?

Glucose is a sugar in the blood. Too high a level is called hyperglycaemia and too low a level is called hypoglycaemia. Blood sugar levels are controlled by insulin which in turn is produced in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas (pancreas). Carbohydrates such as starch and sugar enter the blood after digestion mainly as glucose. Glucose in the blood is determined in two ways; after about 6 hours of not eating (the fasting glucose) and the glucose just throughout the day. Glucose is also sometimes checked at different times of the day this is to follow the progression after eating.

Normal values?

Men/Women

Glucose sober 3.5-6.0 mmol/l
Glucose not sober 3.5-7.8 mmol/l

Diabetes (diabetes).

There are two types of diabetes type 1 and type 2.
In 1, no or little insulin is produced because probably the immune system attacks its own islets of Langerhans. Diabetes 1 can start at a young age or after an illness such as the flu. These people need to inject insulin. Diabetes 2 is sometimes called a disease of affluence. The disease usually starts later in life, the body becomes less sensitive to insulin. Many are overweight and eat unhealthily. They usually have to take tablets to keep glucose levels at the right level in severe cases, insulin will also have to be injected. Some population groups such as Hindus have a much higher risk of diabetes.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

PSA

What is PSA?

PSA (prostate specific antigen) is a protein made in the prostate gland. As men get older, the level of PSA in the blood increases slightly, just as the prostate also gets slightly larger, Prostate hypertrophy. In cancer of the prostate, the PSA goes up sharply. It is important to note that the PSA only gives an indication but cannot be properly used to diagnose (recognise) prostate cancer. However, if there is a strange rise, further investigation should take place.

Normal values?

Men < 4

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Progesterone

What is Progesterone?

Progesterone is made after ovulation by LH (see LH) and FSH (see FSH). It ensures that the endometrium is made ready for a fertilised egg to nestle. During the first three months of pregnancy, this hormone also ensures, that the pregnancy is maintained. Progesterone is also measured when ovulation has occurred.

Normal values?

Progesterone
< 1, 0 - 3, 0 before ovulation
12 - 60 after ovulation

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Reticulocytes

What are reticulocytes?

These are red blood cells in their "infant" stage. If the number of erythrocytes (red blood cells) is reduced, we look to see if there are enough reticulocytes and if they are produced enough by the bone marrow.

LH

What is LH?

LH is a luteīniscent hormone which is made in the pituitary gland. It works closely with FSH (see FSH) and triggers ovulation. After ovulation, progesterone (see progesterone) and oestrogen (see oestrogen) are then produced. It can be measured at what stage ovulation is, but also whether menopause has begun.

Normal values?

Women 1, 0-8, 0 before and after ovulation

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Hb (Hemoglobine)

What is Hb (haemoglobin content)?

Haemoglobin is a protein high in iron and is found in the erythrocytes. It gives the red colour to the blood. The Hb with the iron provides oxygen transport through the body. Oxygen-rich blood is lighter red than oxygen-poor blood. Often fatigue is the first sign of lowered Hb usually due to iron deficiency.

Why iron deficiency?

It can be caused by poor nutrition. But also due to blood loss, in women think of excessive bleeding during the menstrual period. There can also be blood loss through the intestines, this usually happens without being noticed and fatigue can then be the first sign.

Normal values?

In women about between 7.5 and 10. In men about 8.5 and 11. The Hb can vary over the course of a few weeks and a level of 9.5 at first and a few weeks later of, say, 7 has no significance. One is not better than the other.

Athletes.

In athletes, for example professional cyclists, doping (EPO) is sometimes used to raise erythrocytes and thus Hb levels. Whether this really helps to increase performance remains a matter of debate to this day. However, it does increase the risk of thrombosis (blood clotting) as the blood becomes more viscous

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Iron

What is Iron?

Iron is a component of haemoglobin (Hb) (see Hb). This iron is needed to bind and transport oxygen through the blood from the lungs to the tissues and vice versa. 70% of our iron is attached to Hb, the rest is linked to Ferritin (see Ferritin). Iron deficiency will result in a shortage of red blood cells (erythrocytes) (see erythrocytes). Iron levels go up and down throughout the day so iron levels are often measured together with Ferritin.

Normal values?

Men 14-28
Women 10-25

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Hematocriet

What is the haematocrit?

The haematocrit is the ratio of erythrocytes (red blood cells see erythrocytes) to the rest of the blood. Top athletes like the haematocrit to be high because then the theory is that one can perform better. People use doping like EPO for this purpose but they also go into oxygen tents or live at high altitude for a while.

Normal values?

The haematocrit is almost always determined when a full blood count is requested.

Normal values for a woman are about 0.36 to 0.47 and in a man these values are 0.41 to 0.50

Haematocrit too high?

This occurs in people who are dehydrated or when too many red blood cells are made. This causes viscosity of the blood with risk of cardiovascular disease and thrombosis (blood clotting).

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

HIV

What is HIV?

The HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) test is popularly known as the AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) test. It takes about 4-6 weeks after infection before HIV can be determined in the blood.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Kalium

What is potassium?

Potassium is a salt and is also called an electrolyte. Another salt is Sodium (see Sodium). The balance of potassium is often disturbed by diarrhoea, kidney disease and/or medications such as urine pills. When potassium is too high, one gets loss of strength, heart rhythm disturbances up to cardiac arrest. When potassium is too low, heart rhythm disturbances and loss of strength can also occur.

Normal values?

Men/Women 3.55

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Kreatinine

What is Kreatinine?

Creatinine is used to calculate kidney function. If this determination is made in both blood and urine, we can calculate the clearance. This is particularly important to determine how waste products are processed but also medicines we take.

Normal values?

Women 45-80
Men 45-100

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Leucocyten

What are leucocytes?

Leucocytes are white blood cells, which provide our body's defence. When we have an infection, as well as during pregnancy, for example, the number of these "soldiers" goes up significantly. There are about five different types of white blood cells; Neutrophilic granulocytes, Lymphocytes, Eosinophilic granulocytes, Basophilic granulocytes and Monocytes. Each of these has its own task. Eosinophilic granulocytes play a role in parasite infections. Neutrophilic granulocytes provide direct defence in infections caused by bacteria. Lymphocytes make antibodies; we have the T cells and the B cells. Basophilic granulocytes play a role in allergic reaction. Monocytes are quickly on the spot to give an immune response. If we have too many of them it is called leucocytosis and if we have too few of them it is called leucopenia.
Als we er teveel van hebben heet dat leucocytose en als we er te weinig van hebben wordt dat leucopenie genoemd.

Normal values?

Men/Women

Leucocyte differentiation?

When leucocytes are looked at under the microscope, we determine which type is elevated to get an impression of which type of possible infection is involved. This is to set up proper treatment. We also check for leukaemia. Leukaemia is a greatly increased level of white blood cells.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Sodium

What is Sodium?

Sodium, like potassium (see Potassium), is a salt and is also called an electrolyte. Sodium is determined to determine the fluid balance in the body and check if the body is dehydrated.

Normal values?

Men/Women 136-144

Sodium deficiency.

Severe Sodium deficiency can cause the following symptoms: cardiac arrest, breathlessness, confusion, insulence, nausea, vomiting, headache.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

MCH

What is MCH?

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), which is the amount of Hb (Haemoglobin) in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

Normal values?

Men/women 1.7-2.1

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

MCHC

What is MCHC?

MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) is the level concentration of Hb (haemoglobin) in erythrocytes (red blood cells).

Normal values?

Women/Men 19.3-22.5

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

MCV

What is MCV?

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) is the average size of erythrocytes (red blood cells). When it is too high, there is often anaemia due to Vitamin B12 deficiency. If the value is too low, there is often iron deficiency.

Normal values?

Men/Women 82-98

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Testosterone

What is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a male sex hormone but also occurs in women, especially during pregnancy. Just as the female sex hormone Oestrogen (see Oestrogen) also occurs in men. Testosterone determines our sex in utero. It is an anabolic hormone that determines muscularity and other male characteristics.

Normal values?

Men 12-35
Women 0.5-3.0

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Platelets

What are thrombocytes?

Platelets are responsible for clotting our blood and are also called the platelets. If there are too many platelets it is called thrombocytosis and if there are too few it is called thrombocytopenia. Platelets, like erythrocytes, are made in the bone marrow.
When something is damaged in our body and something is bleeding, the thrombocytes come into action a "net" is created where the thrombocytes are trapped and the blood coagulates and repair of the damage can begin.

Normal values?

In men and women, normal values are between 150 and 400.
If the amount of platelets is too low, bleeding can occur that clots poorly. Quick bruising that would otherwise not come at all. If too much, clots can form in all sorts of places in our bodies.

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Troponin

What is Troponin?

Troponin is a protein that acts to relax and tighten muscles. The protein consists of three parts: C(TnC), T(TnT) and I(TnI). Usually, only I and T are measured. An increase in Troponin can be measured within 2 hours of a heart attack. In heart problems, Troponin is often determined together with CK-MB (see CK-MB).

Normal values?

Women/Men
Troponin I < 0.10
Troponin T < 0.01

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

TSH

What is TSH?

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, a gland in the brain. This hormone stimulates the thyroid gland (thyroid) to work. If there is too much TSH, the thyroid starts working too hard and one may feel agitated, get palpitations. Incidentally, even without this hormone, the thyroid can sometimes work too fast or too slow. TSH is usually determined together with free T3, T3, free T4, T4 (see T3 and T4). These hormones are produced by the thyroid gland itself and provide feedback to the pituitary gland. Sometimes the TSH is slightly elevated throughout life without any consequences, the elevated TSH then ensures that the thyroid continues to do its job properly.

Normal values?

Women/Men 0.4-4.0

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

T3, Free T3

What is T3 and Free T3?

T3 is a Triiodothyronine and is made by the thyroid gland. Most of the hormone is bound to thyroxine-binding globulin and only a small percentage is unbound. The unbound part is precisely the hormone that does the work. The bound part ensures that the level of the unbound part remains constant and all in conjunction with the TSH (see TSH).

Normal values?

Men/Women
Total T3 1.2-3.4
Free T3 3-8

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

T4, Free T4

What is T4 and Free T4?

T4 is called Thyroxine. In total T4, the bound and unbound portion is measured. The bound part is attached to thyroxine binding globulin but also to Transthyretin and Albumin. When thyroid function is elevated (one then feels agitated, sometimes palpitations and weight loss), T4 is usually elevated, when the thyroid gland works too slowly, weight gain and fatigue can occur. T4 free and unbound is usually determined together with the TSH and free T3 and T3 (see TSH, T3 and free T3).

Normal values?

Men/Women
Total T4 64-154
Free T4 9-24

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

Uric acid

What is uric acid?

Uric acid is made by the breakdown of body cells and the breakdown of food, such as beans, mackerel, beer. Uric acid is excreted by the kidneys and if it gets too high then the uric acid can precipitate as crystals in the joints; but also other tissues and this is called gout (well-known example is pain and redness on the big toe). Too high levels of uric acid can also lead to kidney stones.

Normal values?

Women 0.12-0.34
Men 0.20-0.42

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.

WHR

What is the WHR?

That is the "waist to hip ratio " It is calculated by dividing the abdominal circumference (after exhaling) by the size around the hips. For example, an abdominal circumference of 76 cm and a hip circumference of 97 cm gives a WHR of 0.78.

What does it indicate?

It is used to serve as an indicator of whether serious health issues may arise e.g. cardiovascular disease, diabetes. But it is also used (there would be a relationship with) to predict fertility.

Normal values.

For men, a value of 0.9 would be optimal. They would have less risk of prostate cancer and testis cancer and their fertility would be optimal. For women, that value is at 0.7 they would then be less likely to have cardiovascular disease, as well as diabetes or ovarian cancer (ovarian cancer).

Note! These normal values are only an indication and depend, among other things, on the determining laboratory.
