    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

    V d is the volume of distribution (L); typically body weight (kg) multiplied by 0.71 L/kg for men and 0.58 L/kg for women [32] [33] although estimation using TBW is more accurate. [34] A standard drink, defined by the WHO as 10 grams of pure alcohol, [35] is the most frequently used measure in many countries. Examples: A 80 kg man drinks 20 ...

  3. Hyperglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperglycemia

    In general, the normal range for most people (fasting adults) is about 4 to 6 mmol/L or 80 to 110 mg/dL. (where 4 mmol/L or 80 mg/dL is "optimal".) A subject with a consistent range above 7 mmol/L or 126 mg/dL is generally held to have hyperglycemia, whereas a consistent range below 4 mmol/L or 70 mg/dL is considered hypoglycemic.

    There appears to be the greatest cluster of substances in the yellow part (μg/L or nmol/L), becoming sparser in the green part (mg/L or μmol/L). However, there is another cluster containing many metabolic substances like cholesterol and glucose at the limit with the blue part (g/L or mmol/L).

    A patient is considered to have hyperglycemia (high glucose) if the patient has a sugar level of greater than 230–270 mg/dL (13–15 mmol/L). Sometimes patient may be temporarily hypoglycemic under certain conditions (e.g. not eating regularly, or after strenuous exercise).

  6. Hypercholesterolemia - Wikipedia

    For people at high risk of cardiovascular disease, the recommended limit for total cholesterol is 4 mmol/L, and 2 mmol/L for LDL. [ 33 ] In the United States, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute within the National Institutes of Health classifies total cholesterol of less than 200 mg/dL as "desirable", 200 to 239 mg/dL as "borderline ...

    Hemodialysis if the blood concentration is very high at >130 mmol/L (>600 mg/dL) [28] Provide oxygen therapy as needed via nasal cannula or non-rebreather mask. Administration of intravenous fluids in cases involving hypoglycemia and electrolyte imbalance .

  8. Cholesterol - Wikipedia

    Cholesterol is tested to determine for "normal" or "desirable" levels if a person has a total cholesterol of 5.2 mmol/L or less (200 mg/dL), an HDL value of more than 1 mmol/L (40 mg/dL, "the higher, the better"), an LDL value of less than 2.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL), and a triglycerides level of less than 1.7 mmol/L (150 mg/dL).

  9. Hyponatremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponatremia

    Hyponatremia or hyponatraemia is a low concentration of sodium in the blood. [4] It is generally defined as a sodium concentration of less than 135 mmol/L (135 mEq/L), with severe hyponatremia being below 120 mEq/L. [3] [8] Symptoms can be absent, mild or severe.
