Complete Blood Count

Component & Quantity Results


Hemoglobin:
M: 140-180 g/dl 98 g/dl

Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the
body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin in
the blood carries oxygen from the respiratory organs to the rest of the body (i.e. the tissues).
There it releases the oxygen to permit aerobic respiration to provide energy to power the
functions of the organism in the process called metabolism.

Kidneys produce erythropoietin. This is the hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to produce
red blood cells. When the kidney is severely damaged, the ability to produce erythropoietin
decreases. This causes the decline in red blood cells known as anemia.

Blood Chemistry

Component & Quantity Results

Creatinine 756.06umol/L
64 – 104 umol/L
Creatinine is a chemical waste product in the blood that passes through the kidneys to be filtered
and eliminated in urine. The chemical waste is a by-product of normal muscle contractions.
Creatinine is made from creatine, a supplier of energy to the muscle.
Generally, creatinine levels in the blood remain unchanged from day to day because muscle
mass usually stays the same. Taking certain medicines, eating a lot of meat or building muscles
through weight training or other exercise may show higher amounts of creatinine, even in those
who don’t have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Creatinine levels can be lower than normal for
people who are elderly, malnourished or vegetarian.
When there is kidney damage or kidney disease, and the kidneys are not able to filter waste
efficiently, there will likely be a rise in creatinine levels in the blood. For adults with kidney
disease, dialysis is recommended when creatinine levels reach 10.0 mg/dL.

Uric Acid 481.95 umol/L


208 - 430 umol/L
Uric Acid is the end product of Purine rich foods. A chemical waste product that passes to the
kidney and filtered in the urine. Hyperuricemia is a condition when there is an elevated amount
of uric acid the blood. When there is kidney damage or kidney disease, and the kidneys are not
able to filter uric acid efficiently, there will likely be a rise in uric acid levels in the blood.
