What are the tables/brackets for the lab values?

Published

There are tables/brackets nurses use for lab values like postassium, BUN, etc to easily remember. Where can I get those brackets and the normal lab values?

Personally, I have a book called "Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests" by Joyce LeFever Kee that is fantastic. I use it as a reference if I can't remember something off the top of my head. Great resource.
