I'm going to post the odd ones to see if anyone else has seen this. Platelet 696 high : normal is 150-375 RBC morphology Abnormal Aniso 1+ : normal is 0 LDH 270 high : normal 100-200 Alpha 1 antitrysin 122 low : normal (131-217) His Alk. Phos. and CPK were normal. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. We are waiting on a couple of the tests to come back and then will meet with the Dr. after the first of the year. Thank you all, PS Kathy thank you that Penn. Health website is wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 , Was he sick? My younger son (not the one diagnosed with mito YET) had similar labs--platelets at 774 (yikes!!!) anisocytosis 1+, poly chrom slight, his sed rate was also 103 (normal 0-15). Did they test his white count? or run a differential ? The high platelet count comes from inflammation (same for the sed rate). Anisocytosis means a considerable variation in the size of red blood cells. This too can occur during infections. Colin white cell count was very high 21.8 (normal 4.5-11) and his neutrophils were high which meant the infection was bacterial. I hope this info is helpful, wrote: > on 12/11/03 4:18 PM, at momme@... wrote: > Well we got the first part of the labs back and they are definitely > concerning, but also really weird.
