Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Sounds good to me !!!! AST (SGOT) Increase of aspartate aminotransferase (AST, formerly called " SGOT " ) is seen in any condition involving necrosis of hepatocytes, myocardial cells, or skeletal muscle cells. Decreased serum AST is of no known clinical significance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Here's some info on AST/SGOT tests: AST (SGOT/ abbr>) Increase of aspartate aminotransferase (AST, formerly called "SGOT") is seen in any condition involving necrosis of hepatocytes, myocardial cells, or skeletal muscle cells. [see "Bilirubin, total," below] Decreased serum AST is of no known clinical significance. Ranges for females from birth and up in U/L:Normals: Low 7 High 40 Apparently from what I have read, , high counts mean your liver is not functioning well.... or there has been some kind of injury. Looks like you are just fine! blood work well after six or so years on atkins heres my blood work which my dr says is "excellent" HDL 66 LDL 113 total 191 tryglicerides 60 ratio 2.9 below 1/2 average risk glucose 101 only thing came out Low was AST/SGOT anyone know what that is? i know its a liver enzyme but what does it mean when its low?? catherineTake a peek at the Challengers "Before" pictures in our 2002 photo album at our Yahoo page, click on photos 2002 or try directly at http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/atkinschallengers/lst?.dir=/ & .src=gr & .view=t .

Any help is appreciated. > thanks Kate, You should be a little concerned; your TSH is too high. Thyca patients generally have their TSH suppressed to < 0.1 to prevent a recurrence of cancer. Your GP presumably is unaware of this (most GP's don't treat many thyca patients, which is why God invented endos) and probably lowered your dose of Synthroid because the lab report shows that you are 'hyperthyroid'. The 'normal' ranges shown on lab reports are for people with a functioning thyroid, not thyca patients. So your TSH in July, 0.08, was right where it should have been. I would suggest having your endo rather than your GP monitor your thyroid levels. There is very little point in testing TG levels until 6-12 months after RAI. After that, how often your TG is tested will depend on what the first result was, whether you have anti-TG antibodies, and your endo's preferred protocol. If you have antibodies, the TG test is not useful as a cancer marker; if you are antibody-negative, it's a good idea to have your TG tested at least once a year -- some doctors prefer to do it more often for the first year or two -- or more often if your TG is high or still changing (i.e., if the first few values are not consistent). Hope this helps. If not, keep asking! ellen -- mailto:ellen@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
