    C)  Total blood volume ? 5-61

    D)  ESR in Wintrobe method ?9-15 mm in males and 20-34 mm in females

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Blood sugar is glucose which is converted into glycogen by insulin hormone in the liver and muscles. Usually blood glucose level is about 80-100 mg/100 mL of blood 12 hours after a normal meal. After taking carbohydrate rich diet blood sugar level raised. Fasting glucose value of blood is 70-110 mg/dL (decilitre) and post prependial (after breakfast) is 110-140 mg/dl. If it is higher it causes diabetes mellitus (hyperglycemia) and if it is less it causes hypoglycemia. Blood glucose level exceeds 180 mg/100 ml, it starts appearing in urine (glucosuria). About other options 15-40 mg/100 mL urea is present in blood total blood volume in a healthy person is about 6-7 litres and Erythrocytic Sedimentation Rate (ESR) in Wintrobe method is 0-9 mm in males and 0?20 mm in females.
