Here is a summary of the physiological parameters and their normal/abnormal ranges from your document:

2. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

  • Westergren Method:
    • Male: 0−15 mm/hr0 - 15 \text{ mm/hr}
    • Female: 0−20 mm/hr0 - 20 \text{ mm/hr} (Higher in females due to lower RBC count/less 'crowding' and higher fibrinogen).
  • Abnormal:
    • Markedly High (>100 mm/hr>100 \text{ mm/hr}): Multiple myeloma, temporal arteritis, or severe infection.
    • Low (near 0): Polycythemia, sickle cell anemia, or congestive heart failure.

3. Total Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count

  • Male: 4.5−6.0 million/mm34.5 - 6.0 \text{ million/mm}^3
  • Female: 4.0−5.5 million/mm34.0 - 5.5 \text{ million/mm}^3
  • Abnormal:
    • Low: Anemia (look for signs of low O2\text{O}_2 transport).
    • High: Polycythemia Vera or chronic hypoxia (e.g., COPD).

4. Total White Blood Cell (WBC) Count

  • Adults (Both Genders): 4,000−11,000 cells/mm34,000 - 11,000 \text{ cells/mm}^3
  • Abnormal:
    • Leukocytosis (>11,000>11,000): Infection, inflammation, or leukemia.
    • Leukopenia (<4,000<4,000): Bone marrow depression, viral infections (e.g., HIV), or chemotherapy.

5. Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC)
Ranges are usually percentages of the total WBC count:

  • Neutrophils: 40%−75%40\% - 75\% (High: Bacterial infection)
  • Lymphocytes: 20%−40%20\% - 40\% (High: Viral infection)
  • Monocytes: 2%−10%2\% - 10\% (High: Fungal/Chronic infection)
  • Eosinophils: 1%−6%1\% - 6\% (High: Parasites/Allergy)
  • Basophils: <1%<1\% (High: Rare; Allergic reactions/Leukemia)

6. Bleeding & Clotting Times

  • Bleeding Time (Ivy Method): 2−9 minutes2 - 9 \text{ minutes}
    • Abnormal (>9 mins>9 \text{ mins}): Thrombocytopenia or aspirin use.
  • Clotting Time (Capillary Tube): 3−8 minutes3 - 8 \text{ minutes}
    • Abnormal (>10 mins>10 \text{ mins}): Hemophilia, Vitamin K deficiency, or Liver disease.

7. Body Mass Index (BMI)

  • Underweight: <18.5 kg/m2<18.5 \text{ kg/m}^2
