My Blood Results - Any Help Appeciated

March 20, 2012

I've got all my blood results today. I'm not quite sure what to think.

Naturally, all my thyroid related bloods are within normal range but I

do understand that doesn't mean all is well.

What bothers me most are the results around my Hb which suggest I'm

anaemic. This is something I hadn't considered as I don't have periods.

(Sorry if TMI). I have no indications that I am bleeding from my gut or

anywhere else so this is a bit worrying.

Anyhoo, here we go:

Free TS4 16 pmol/L Range 12-22

TSH 1.8mu/L 0.27-4.2

Irritatingly, I've just realised that the TS3 and TPO haven't been done

despite being told the tests included them.

Cortisol 280 mmol/L No range given

Haemoglobin 11.7 g/dl Range 11.5-16.5

Haematocrit 0.363 l/l 0.37-5.5

MCH 25.9 pg 27-32

Ferritin 12 ng/mL 13-150

MCV 80.5 fl 80-100

Vit B12 794 This is expected as I am already on

cytocobalmine injections. If anything, I think this quite low

considering I am on the injections and had one only a few weeks ago. I

expected it to be closer to 1000.

Folate 5.4 ng/mL 4.6-18.7

Magnesium 0.92 mmol/L 0.7-1

LSH 32 I thought this would be slightly higher considering my age

but it's difficult to tell where I am in the menopause as I don't bleed

and don't have hot flushes.

Any thoughts or advice appreciated,

Kath
