Patient's Blood and Urine Sample Findings Performed Before Discontinuation of Tenofovir Disoproxil and Referral to Our Osteo‐Endocrinological Outpatient Clinic
| Parameter | Laboratory value | Unit | Reference range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hemoglobin | 12.80 | g/dL | 12.0–16.0 |
| Platelets | 278 | 109/L | 150–350 |
| White blood cell count | 5.92 | 109/L | 4.00–10.00 |
| C‐reactive protein | 0.06 | mg/L | <5.00 |
| Iron | 20.00 | μg/dL | 35.00–105.00 |
| Potassium | 3.79 | mmol/L | 3.50–5.10 |
| Sodium | 142 | mmol/L | 136–145 |
| Calcium | 2.20 | mmol/L | 2.15–2.50 |
| Phosphate | 0.69 | mmol/L | 0.81–1.45 |
| Magnesium | 0.96 | mmol/L | 0.66–1.07 |
| Creatinine | 1.02 | mg/dL | 0.50–0.90 |
| Uric acid | 1.60 | mg/dL | 2.40–5.70 |
| Alkaline phosphatase | 279 | U/L | 35–105 |
| Bicarbonate | 18.40 | mmol/L | 21.00–26.00 |
| Glucose | 97 | mg/dL | 74–109 |
| Protein (urine) | 300 | mg/dL | Semiquantitative |
| Glucose (urine) | 75 | mg/dL | Semiquantitative |
All of the values in Table 1 written in bold letters represent blood or urine values which were not within the normal reference range for the respective test. In terms of protein and glucose levels in urine, both of these were elevated in a semiquantitative urine dipstick test hence a normal reference range was not stated. When compared to the chart, protein level of 300 mg/dl in the urine dipstick test would represent a Grade +++ proteinuria, whereas a glucose level of 75mg/dl in the same test would represent a weakly positive finding i.e. Grade defined as trace finding. All of the other values represent serum values and the reference ranges were stated accordingly.
