• BUN: 7 to 20 mg/dL
• CO2 (carbon dioxide): 20 to 29 mmol/L
• Creatinine: 0.8 to 1.4 mg/dL
• Glucose: 64 to 128 mg/dL
• Serum chloride: 101 to 111 mmol/L
• Serum potassium: 3.7 to 5.2 mEq/L
• Serum sodium: 136 to 144 mEq/L

Key to abbreviations:

• L = liter
• dL = deciliter = 0.1 liter
• mg = milligram
• mmol = millimole
• mEq = milliequivalents

Normal values can vary from lab to lab. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results.

Abnormal results can be due to a variety of different medical conditions, including kidney failure, breathing problems, and diabetes-related complications. See the individual tests for detailed information:

• BUN
• Creatinine
• CO2 (carbon dioxide)
• Glucose
• Serum chloride
• Serum potassium
• Serum sodium
