- high cholestoral

[Guest guest]

Nope, no conversion, typed 'em as they appear on the printout

Our measurements here in NZ are in mmol/l.

If those tests were all done as non-fasting, then yes, she def needs them

repeated, a kiddie on a regular high fat diet will never have accurate levels

otherwise. This is because being in ketosis, she would have then have gone on to

metabolise and use those fats from breakfast and lunch as energy, they wouldn't

'stay' in her bloodstream, as they would in a person using glucose/carbs

instead, so it is in effect a false reading. And even if they were accurate, you

would really need a breakdown of the HDL/LDL to get a true picture. Pretty sure

from memory though that one of these can't be calculated when the triglyceride

level is too high, maybe that is why it wasn't broken down?

Either way, I wouldn't worry too much till you have had them all repeated in a

fasting state, as they may then be completely different readings.

I am not sure about the others, (never could get a handle on the blood count

ones...) though has had raised hemaglobin and basophil levels before,

that had normalised by the time his next bloods were done.

I think there is an explanation of most bloods in the files section, not sure

if these ones are included though.

, Your lab results look so different, are you doing a conversion? And

no her ldl and hdl are not seperated.

Other red flags are:

Hematocrit 42.4 range should be 34-40

lymphocyte count, absolute 6208mm3 should be 1200-5000

Basophilis 97mm3 should be 0-40

hemaglobin 14.9g/dl should be 11.5-13.5

any help in reading these is great.

Oh, forgot to mention her labs were taken in the afternoon, so after her

breakfast and lunch meds. Next month I will start getting the labs first

thing am.
