Table 1. Blood count, liver function tests, renal function tests and serum electrolytes.

These reference range values are typical for adult men aged 60 years or above. Normal results vary from laboratory to laboratory and might be slightly different for women and children. Abbreviations: HCT, hematocrit; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen

	Reference range	Patient’s value	Comments
Leukocyte count	3.4-9.6×​​​​​​103/μL	3.3×​​​​​​103/μL	Low
Lymphocytes #	1.00-4.80×​​​​​​103/μL	0.8×​​​​​​103/μL	Low
Erythrocyte count	4.32-5.72×​​​​​​106/μL	2.99×​​​​​​106/μL	Low
Hemoglobin	13.2-16.6 g/dL	8.2 g/dL	Low
HCT	38.3-48.6%	24.4%	Low
MCV	80-100 fL	81.7 fL	Normal. Low Hemoglobin with normal MCV strongly suggestive of hemolytic anemia

BUN, serum	7-20 mg/dL	60 mg/dL	High
Creatinine, serum	0.84-1.21 mg/dL	1.8 mg/dL	High
Sodium, serum	135-145 mEq/L	134 mEq/L	Slightly low
Potassium, serum	3.6-5.2 mEq/L	5.2 mEq/L	Higher side of normal
Chloride, serum	95-105 mEq/L	104 mEq/L	Normal
