Poor state of health always involves a doctor's visit and the subsequent general therapeutic biochemical standard blood test.
How can I submit a biochemical blood test?
First of all, the blood must be taken on an empty stomach, from the moment of the last intake of food and liquid must pass at least half a day. Therefore it is recommended to visit the laboratory in the morning, after waking up. Do not drink tea, coffee or juice.
It should also be remembered that preparation for biochemical blood analysis involves the exclusion of alcoholic beverages from the diet 24 hours before the study. In addition, 60 minutes before the fence you can not smoke.
How to decipher a biochemical blood test?
Naturally, a doctor should help in explaining the results of laboratory research. He will determine what to look for and put the appropriate diagnosis.
A common biochemical blood test contains indicators:
- protein metabolism;
- the content of vitamins and various trace elements;
- fat metabolism;
- the state of the cardio-rheumatoid system;
- kidney function;
- work of the pancreas and liver;
- carbohydrate metabolism;
- presence of inflammatory and pathological processes in the body;
- condition of bones.
Deciphering the parameters of biochemical blood analysis depending on the specified norm helps to diagnose various diseases at an early stage, to determine the localization of inflammation. Usually, all laboratories provide generally accepted values, within which the test markers are considered acceptable.
Biochemical blood test - normal parameters:
| Indicators | Norm | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Lipase | 190 U / l | without exceeding for the female and male |
| Hemoglobin | from 120 to 150 g / l | 130-160 g / l for male |
| Total protein | from 64 and not more than 84 g / l | for males and females |
| Glucose | 3.3-3.5 mmol / l | for female and male |
| Creatinine | from 53 to 97 μmol / l | 62-115 μmol / l for male |
| Haptoglobin | from 150 to 2000 mg / l | 250-1380 mg / l for children and within 350-1750 mg / l, but not more for the elderly |
| Cholesterol (cholesterol) | from 3.5 to 6.5 mmol / l | for female and male |
| Urea | from 2.5 to 8.3 mmol / l | for males and females |
| Bilirubin | not less than 5 and not more than 20 μmol / l | for males and females |
| Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) | not more than 31 units / l | up to 41 U / L for male |

| Alkaline phosphatase | not less than 30, but not more than 120 units / liter | for female and male |
| Iron | from 8.9 to 30.4 μmol / l | 11.6-30.4 μmol / l for male |
| Chlorine | between 98-106 mmol / l | for female and male |
| Triglycerides | about 0.4-1.8 mmol / l | for males and females |
| Low-density lipoproteins | in the range of 1.7-3.5 mmol / l | for the female and male. |
| Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) | up to 38 units / l | not more than 55 units / l for male |
| Potassium | from 3.5 to 5.5 mmol / l | for males and females |
| Sodium | not more than 145 mmol / l and not less than 135 mmol / l | for both sexes |
| Ferritin | 10-120 μg / l | 20-350 μg / l for male |
Among these markers are hepatic indicators of biochemical blood analysis, which show the state of the gallbladder and liver. This is bilirubin , which is often differentiated into a direct and indirect subtype, AST, ALT, total protein, GGT.
If suspected of serious diseases of these organs, a thymol test may additionally be prescribed. In addition, the biochemical blood test contains normal and actual indicators of kidney and bladder function . The most informative in this case are markers of urea and creatinine.
