Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Good point -however good labs should list the normal ranges for children and adults and some for some tests male v's female - sometime list infant norms as well. blood results It is important to bear in mind the NORMS on blood test results are for ADULTS, not children.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 As a laboratory worker I just wanted to respond that if you register the child with a birthdate when they get the blood drawn--the normal values will be age appropriate. Check the top of the form and if the child's age is on it, the normal values are appropriate for the child tested. Just some insight.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 No medication change right now ... I'm on Sulfasalazine, prednisone, folic acid, flexeril (to help with sleeping), and meds for other issues. I'm not sure what the Glom Fit Rate is ... is that the kidney function? Definitely would worry me if my numbers weren't where they should be though! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I always get copies of my lab results so that I can see the actual numbers. Then I can monitor these things myself.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Sue - that is a good idea. I keep copies of all tests as well. I have them in a binder with tab dividers for Bloodwork, Xray, MRI, Doctor notes, etc. My PC laughed when I told him I have a binder and said that would be a good thing and he just might have me bring it in one day so he could review it *lol*.......Doreen > > I always get copies of my lab results so that I can see the actual > numbers.
