Re: My 5-yr-old's Lab Results

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your thoughts, Sharon. I wish I had requested the iron and

ferritin labs. I'll get those done next time. The WBC count stood out

to me. I was wondering, too, about the MPV way down at the bottom

where 's results were 6.7 and the ref. range is 0.0-99.8. I

wondered about the MID and GRAN also, since they were low for their

ranges. I'm not sure what they are.

Tammie

In commenting on those different components of the CBC, I am getting

way beyond my level of expertise and getting very close to medical

interpretation and you know I stay clear of that...............but,

When the WBC is low and some of the other components of the CBC are

low, the doc begins to think about anemia or somewhere on the

numberline to anemia. But, this interpretation is always done in

light of the iron and iron %satuaration level and the ferritin. As

you and I know, that ferritin level is super important in thyroid

hormone conversion of T4 to T3 to T2 to T1. All of those little

deficits in conversion occur long before the TSH catches up to the

problem.

Again, next year see if you can convince the pedi or FP to do the

another thyroid panel (even if you get labs and values that are not

up our alley) and add the iron and the ferritin. In the mean time,

knowing what your history and Toby and 's history

is.........push the red meat and iron veggies. It cannot hurt him

and chances are, he could be headed in the same direction as you and

his sibs. Maybe you can forestall some of this with a nutritional

approach. Eliminate it altogether.........who knows?

That's kind of what I was thinking about the white cell count, but why is the hemogolobing so high??
