    BMP could also be BNP. If the patient has any indication of congestive heart failure, I'd go with BNP. Perhaps T3 and T4? ANCA. Anti-GBM, rather than N? Cryoglobulins. , hepatitis B and C. Don't know urine REM, but urine protein electrophoresis is correct.

    New to typing labs. Does this look correct:

    UA reveals 2+ ketones, greater than 1.030 specific gravity, 0 glucose. Micro reveals 0 to 1 WBCs, 1 to 2 RBC, rare bacteria, 2 to 4 epithelials with 1+ s/l muc (she may cut off at end, hard to tell).

    Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
    LABS
    Subject: LABS

    I've always found it helpful to have a lab sheet in front of me when doing these. You know, the actual printed form that docs check off when they send patient for tests? They usually dictate right from the results sheet and the tests are in alphabetical order within groupings. If your dictator can't supply one, just get one from your own doc -- they're pretty much the same from one lab to the next. I'm still using one I got from a hospital lab back in the Dark Ages when we worked in hospitals.

    Laboratory, 06/25/08: Glucose of 90, hemoglobin A1c of 6.2. Total protein a little bit high at 8.2. Remainder of chemistry panel within normal limits. CBC was within normal limits, except for a slightly elevated red cell distribution width. Total cholesterol is high at 235, HDL is very low at 24, making a total to HDL ratio of 9.8. An LDL-cholesterol is 169, triglycerides 211. BDL leads 42, troponin 0.02.
