Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 , here are a couple of URLs with explanations of lab tests: http://www.labtestsonline.org/ http://web2.airmail.net/uthman/lab_test.html But I can tell you that the Complete Blood Count is a count of your various kinds of blood cells, such as white blood count, red blood count, etc. HGB is hemoglobin, and HCT is Hematocrit. If these were low, it would indicate anemia. Since yours are high, that might be a good thing, but I would suggest you google Hemoglobin and Hematocrit to make sure. The Sed Rate is used to measure inflammation in the body. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel includes Electrolytes, Glucose (blood sugar), and a check on liver and kidney function. Since all of yours are normal, you should be glad. With that glucose of 69, you certainly don't have diabetes; and since I do, I'm jealous of that low number. The TSH has something to do with thyroid function. I believe the ANA is something they use to check for lupus. If it's positive, it doesn't automatically mean you have lupus, though. I hope this helps to get you started on understanding your lab results. What I did was make a list of things tested, looked them up, and wrote out what they are. Then I can always look back if I forget what something is. I'm sure that or a, our moderators, will also give you some information on this.
