Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 HCT is hematocrit. That is used to check for anemia. 36 is still within range, but on the low side. All your other lab values look great though. Your serum creatinine is probably just about where it should be for a male, perhaps just slightly elevated. I would be jumping up and down for joy if my values were as good as yours! Hopefully you have the very benign form of IgAN and will have your entire life lived to the fullest without having to ever even think about end stage renal disease.

BMI is 17 ( Skinny Type ) eg. S.
