Question

Hematocrit (Hct): 31% Normal Range (Female): 37% to 47% (Pregnant female: >33%) The hematocrit test checks for anemia, influenced by pregnancy-related blood volume changes. Low levels in pre-eclampsia may be due to hemodilution, hemolysis, or nutritional deficiencies. White Blood Cell Count (WBC): 10,850/mm3 Normal Range: 3,500 to 10,000/mm3 (or 5 to 10 × 109/L in SI units) The WBC count checks for infection, inflammation, or immune responses. High levels in pre-eclampsia may be due to infection, stress, or complications like HELLP syndrome. Platelet Count: 90,000/mm3 Normal Range: 150,000 to 400,000/mm3 (or 150 to 400 × 109/L in SI units) Platelet count checks for thrombocytopenia and HELLP syndrome in pre-eclampsia. Low platelets may result from HELLP syndrome or platelet consumption. Prothrombin Time (PT) 14 Percent (%) Less than (<) Greater than (>)Normal: 11.0 to 12.5 seconds; 85% to 100% PT checks clotting, anticoagulants, liver function, and DIC in pre-eclampsia. Prolonged PT may result from liver issues, vitamin K deficiency, or DIC. Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): 650 units/L Normal Range: 100 to 190 units/L at 37°C LDH checks for tissue damage, hemolysis, and liver dysfunction in pre-eclampsia. Elevated LDH may indicate hemolysis, liver issues, or severe pre-eclampsia."
