Blood panel results

[BillB]

Anyone know the significance & corrective action for the following out of limits on my horses panel? Seems like a lot are out of whack??

Glucose 17 normal 70 -120

Na/K Ratio 10 24 - 58

LDH 604 150 -450

AST ( SGOT) 676 180 -570

Total Billirubin 2.9 .1 - 2.5

Phosphorus 11.2 2 - 5.6

Globullin 2.5 2.6 - 5.6

With glucose values like that your horse would be dead. The blood could have been left out or mishandled some other way. That is probably why the values are so off. I would recommend retesting and see what the results are again.

Uh wow... what's the story?

I just went thru a WBC that dropped from 14000 to 4700 in a matter of a day in a half. Back up o 7 and change after days of continual monitoring and treatment.

The numbers are pretty meaningless without units and reference ranges.

Vet said it was 5 hours before it got to the lab....it is probably uselss info?

Reference range is there......LDH for example needs to be between 150 & 450 ..it was 604 so its high


LDH is 604 reference range is 150 -450
