Results and Result Reporting Skill 304 Dr. Mohammad Marie Lecture \ 6
Learning objectives • To know guidelines in result reporting. • To recognize how to interpret CBC result. • To recognize how to interpret CHEMISTRY result. • To understand the meaning of <critical values>.
Results reporting • Laboratory result consisting of the following • patient identification data • name of lab section • name of test performed • specimen type • lab number • Result may be presented as either of the following: • numerical value • qualitative value • interpretative comments
Results reporting • Reference values should be mentioned in the result report . • Reference range : it is the interval between and including two reference limits ( upper & lower ) for the specific test . • The test should be repeated if the results are out of range
Results reporting • If the sample is rejected, the reasons must be written • Samples may be rejected due to: • Q.N.S sample. (Quantity of specimen not sufficient) • Clotted sample. • Hemolysis sample. • Sample collected in wrong tube. • Teset N/A ( not available ) • Specimen not labeled. • Iincomplete request's information.
General information Test result Test parameters interpretation Reference range
Results interpreting 1- WBC : white blood cell 2- NEU : neutrophil cell 3- LYM : lymphocyte cell 4- MONO : monocyte cell 5- EOS : eosnophil cell 6- BASO : basophil cell 7- RBC : red blood cell cell 8- HGB : hemoglobin 9- HCT : hematocrit 10-MCV : Mean corpuscular volume
Results interpreting 11- MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin 12- MCHC :mean corpuscular hemoglobin conc. 13- RDW : red blood cell distribution width 14- PLT : platelets 15- MPV : Mean platelet volume
Results interpreting Chemistry
Results interpreting 1- GLU : glucose 2- UREA OR BUN : Blood urea nitrogen 3- CR-S OR CREA : creatinine 4- URIC : uric acid 5- NA : sodium 6- K : potassium 7- CL : chloride 8- CALC OR Ca : calcium 9- PHS : phosphorus 10- MG : magnesium
Results interpreting 11- FE : ferrous 12- IBCT : total iron binding capacity 13- AST (GOT) : aspartateaminotransferase 14- ALT (GPT) : alaninetransaminase 15- ALP : alkaline phosphatase 16- TBIL : total bilirubin 17- DBIL : direct bilirubin 18- GGT: Gamma-glutamyltransferase 19- TP : total protein 20- ALB : albumin
Results interpreting 21- LIP : lipase 22- AMY : amylase 23- LD : lactate dehydrogenase 24- CK : creatinekinase 25- CK-MB (MBI) : creatinekinase ( M:muscle, B:brain ) 26- CPK : creatinephosphokinase 27- CHOL : cholesterol 28- TG : triglyceride 29- HDL : High-density lipoprotein cholesterol 30- A/G RATIO : albumin/globulin ratio 31- LDL : low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
abbreviations • SE test ( serum electrolyte ) include : NA + K + CL • U/E test include : Urea+electrolyte and mainly include glucose+ creatinine • LFT test ( liver function tests ) include : ALT + AST + ALP + SBR + TP + ALB • RFT or KFT test ( kidney function tests ) include : UREA + CREA
abbreviations • SBR test ( serum bilirubin ) include : TBIL + DBIL • LIPIDE PROFILE test include : CHOL + TG + LDL + HDL • CE test ( cardiac enzyme tests ) include : CK + CKMB + LDH + AST • FULL CHEMISTRY test include : ALL TEST ABOVE
Critical values • Critical Results : a Pathophysiological state at such variances with normal as to be life-threatening unless something is done promptly and for which some corrective action could be taken.
Critical values • PROCEDURE : 1- A critical value result should be confirmed by repeating the test for a second time. 2- If the result is similar to the previous one, the comment code or footnote: CPR (Consistent with the Previous Result) is written by the lab technician. 3- If the result is critical and no history of pervious critical value for this test, the result is confirmed, and the doctor is called.
Some of Critical values • Positive blood culture • Positive CSF (gram stain, culture) • Positive AFB smear (new patient) • Positive smear for P. Falciparum • PositiveMeningococcus (smear or culture) • Positive new MRSA • Positive salmonella or shigella and campylobacter • PositiveClostrediumperfringens • Positive HIV, HEP B , HEP C , CMV • Positive Respiratory Virus (RSV, Adeno, Inf…)
