Re: Need Help with Lab tests results

Hi ,

The SED rate is a non-specific marker for inflammation. Fatigue comes with

active disease sadly....one of the tell tale signs.

The increased seg neutrophils also is an indication of either infection or

inflammation. They are not too far out of range.

Decreased lymphocytes can be because of steroids, a virus, etc

Decreased hematocrit--very common in girls and women; and with inflammation.

None of the results are significantly up or down.

Here is one site that can help you but don't read too much into your results

without talking to your clinic. Sometimes the numbers are high but not

significant to worry about.

Hi Everyone!

here again about Kaylee. Just got an email with access to Kaylee's lab

results done last Tuesday. Most were in the normal ranges, but the following

were not. I do not know how to read the labs unfortunately. I have asked for

someone to teach me, but it hasn't happened. So with all the pros here, I need

some help if possible.

The following are what I need to know about:

Segmented Neutrophil- Kaylee, 72 ramge (39-65)

Lymphocyte- Kaylee, 23 range (27-50)

Hematocrit- Kaylee, .33 range (.35-.45)

SED rate- Kaylee, 29 range (0-13)

I know I should know this stuff by now, but haven't been taught and don't know

where to look to learn. I'd appreciate some help and if there is a site or

someway for me to learn how to read the labs I would appreciate that

information.

Kaylee is also extremely tired; has slept most of the day and has no interest in

doing anything. I did manage to get her out of the house for about an hour to

get a pedicure and a bite to eat. I am real concerned about her. I plan to take

her to her Ped in the am if she is not better.

Thanks for all the support and the helpful information on the Remicade

situation. I will be making a decision no later than tomorrow so Duke can

schedule her first unfusion to be done next Tuesday after her joint injections

and then will be set up to be done closer to home if everything goes well.

Thanks to all of you for everything!

and Kaylee

Oh one more thing. This disease can be really strange at times. When your child

will feel the worst at times the labs are near normal. Weird but so true.

I have a question about this sed rate if anyone can answer it... I see the range

for the rate is 0-13... is that the gauge they use for sed rates for all? I

recently had my daughter in the hospital, and I asked the pedi there to test her

for all the testing she needs for psoriatic arthritis. Her number was 25. It

doesn't show a range. If that is the case I will call her ped rheumy back and

talk with her about it..... I hate to call her now because I don't know the

range and I want to know what I am talking about before hand. That is not the

only test, the RA was negative....

Sorry , I didn't mean to horn in, you asked a great question and I never

got a chance to ask it myself...

I have also heard that some docs look at it compared to the age of the person.

Like a 20 for a 12 year old is much worse than a 20 for a 20 year old. I am not

sure how it works, but I have heard that.
