Finally got the reference ranges!

February 20, 2012

Finally got the reference ranges. The letter to the surgery worked! I don't

understand most of these, and not sure a lot are relevant as they are not what I

asked for. I also asked for transferrin saturation % ( " we don't do that unless

your ferritin levels come back high " ), copper and zinc, but these weren't done).

Would appreciate advice.

(I have a liver function test on a regular basis, as it's been a bit haywire for

quite a few years... the result here is lower than last time, so heading in the

right direction)

ALT/SGPT serum level 40 iu/L (10 – 36) (High)

Gamma GT 67 iu/L (5 – 35) (High)

Bilirubin 10 umol/L (< 21)

Alkaline phosphatase 57 iu/L (30 – 130)

Total protein 73 g/L (60 – 80)

Albumin 46 g/L (35 – 50)

Sodium 143 nmol/L (133 – 146)

Creatinine 50 umol/L (44 – 80)

Corrected serum calcium 2.21 nmol/L (2.05 – 2.55)

Urea 4.7 nmol/L (2.5 – 7.8)

Magnesium 0.73 nmol/L (0.7 – 1.0)

Ferritin 26 ug/L (13 – 150) I know this is still way too low, but it was 18

last September when I first started taking Spatone – taking 2 sachets a day.

Should I be on something stronger?

B12 820 ng/L (> 180)

Folate 16.4 ug/L (4.6 – 18.7)

Haemoglobin estimation 14.0 g/dL (12.0 – 16.0)

Total white cell count 4.8 10*9/L (3.6 – 11.0)

Platelet count 260 10*9/L (150 – 400)

Red blood cell count 4.12 10*12/L (4.0 – 5.2)

Haematocrit 0.388 1/1 (0.36 – 0.46)

Mean corpuscular volume 94.2 fL (82 -98)

Mean corpuscular haemoglobin 33.9 pg (27 – 33) (High)

Red blood cell distribut width 13.0% (9.9 – 15.5)

Neutrophil count 2.40 10*9/L (1.8 – 7.5)

Lymphocyte count 1.40 10*9/L (1.1 – 3.5)

Monocyte count 0.40 10*9/L (0.2 – 0.8)

Eosinophil count 0.60 10*9/L (0.04 – 0.4) (High)

Basophil count 0.00 10*9/L (0.01 – 0.1) (Low)

BTW the receptionist told me all these were normal. Thank you so much, Lynne.
