Got My blood Work Back---Need help interpreting

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I am so jazzed, I got my blood tests back online today and, even though I try to read as many posts as I can, I still need some help interpreting them. I got a lot so here goes (I already know the cholesterol is high) I got these from healthcheck usa

Neutrophils 52

Lymphocytes 34

Monocytes 6

Eosinophils 7

Basophils 1

WBC 6.6

RBC 4.60

HGB 13.5

HCT 42.9

MCV 94

MCH 29.5

MCHC 31.5

Platelet Count 343 (at least I know I'll clot if I get cut! LOL!)

RDW 13.2

ALT (SGPT) 78

Albumin 4.4

Globulin 2.8

Alkaline Phosphatase 86

AST (SGOT) 44

BUN 15

Calcium 9.3

Chloride 106

Cholesterol 246

Creantinine 0.8

GGT 38

Glucose 93

Iron 69

LDH 171

Phosphorus 3.9

Potassium 4.4

Sodium 139

Total Bilirubin 0.4

A/G Ratio 1.6

Total Protein 7.2

Triglycerides 77

Uric Acid 5.2

HDL Cholesterol 72

CHOL/HDL Ratio 3.4

LDL Cholesterol 158

LDL/HDL Ratio 2.20

VLDL, Calculated 15

Ferritin 14 (ummmm their range starts at 10 and goes to 291 so I guess this is low?)

Free Thyroxine (T4) 0.8

Bicarbonate 24

Triiodothronine Free 2.1

TSH (3rd generation) 1.312

Okay....now some of this I recognize, most I don't. Can anyone help interpret these for me? I gather I am very iron deficient and don't absorb what gets into my body anyway what with the iron and ferritin levels being so low. What is a good iron supplement?

Well, I need to run get something to eat and make sure the kids aren't killing each other. Catch you all later!

You appear to still be hypothyroid.

T3 low

> Triiodothronine Free 2.1 2.3-4.2 (bottom of range. You should be

feeling quite tired considering that the ranges are skewed toward

hypothyroidism.)

Low end red blood cell count

> RBC 4.60 4.20-5.40 (at low end, common in hypothryroidism. In

hypothyroidism blood cell production is slowed and so as the

circulating ones get old and die there are fewer new ones being made

to replace them due to slowed mtabolic rate. Your blood protein

levels are pretty good, so you seem to be eating well.)

Mineral disturbances

> Calcium 9.3 8.5-10.5 (This is a sign of adrenal fatigue or low

adrenal output. It disturbs blood mineral balance and causes calcium

to build up in blood. This happened to me.)

> Chloride 106 98-109 (Another sign of mineral balance disturbance)

> Sodium 139 236-146 (Loss of sodium is common in adrenal fatigue or

low adrenal output. Body is leaching calcium from bones to make up

for low sodium levels. Magnesium levels are probably also at high

end. As thyroid levels decline, adrenal function declines with it.)

High cholesterol

> Cholesterol 246 <200- (High cholesterol is a classic sign of

hypothryoidism and hypothyroidism is the major cause of high

cholesterol, conveniently ignored by doctors in the interest of

selling medications.)

Bilirubin at low end

> Total Bilirubin 0.4 0.2-1.3 (sign of low adrenal problems)

Glucose at high end

> Glucose 93 60-99 (Possible sign that adrenal cortisol is low and

that pancreatic output of insulin is low, common in slowed

metabolism of hypothyroidism.)

iron possibly a little sub normal

> Iron 69 35-185 (Low iron common in hypothyroidism. This looks

pretty good, but a normal person would probably have iron levels in

the 70s up to 100.)

Possible sign of some slowed kidney function.

>Uric Acid 5.2 2.5-6.8 (Uric acid above the midrange. Uric acid is a

byproduct of muscle activity and the kidneys must remove it. If it

gets too high, you get symptoms of gout and other joint problems.

This is common in hypothyroidism. Low thyroid slows kidneys and Uric

acid gets higher.)
