Biochemistry: standard blood test screen and extended blood and urine tests. This table shows selected blood sample concentrations from the standard blood test screening performed on the day of hospital admission and the extended blood test analysis performed on day two of admission. Parenthesis illustrates the normal range. = below normal range. = above normal range. CRP= C reactive protein, TSH = thyroid stimulating hormone, T3= triiodothyronine, T4= thyronine, ACTH= adrenocorticotropic hormone, FSH= follicle-stimulating hormone, LH= luteinizing hormone, and IGF-1= insulin-like growth factor 1.
