Re: Alcoholic Chirrosis - nighthawk

[Guest guest]

How is it going? Did your Dr tell you what the score is/was?

I am trying to decipher what you are saying below. It helps if you

post on TOP of the reply.

Did the Dr give a Pneumonia Vaccine?

Hi! . Thanks for your replay. The shot was indeed the one you

mentioned. The blood workup was as follows Bilirubin Total: A 120.

Creatinine: 84. and the INR which I think is the Sodium count Yes? is:

129. Thanks for your help. JD

JD,

Do you live in the US? The numbers make no sense to me.

Let me give you the normals for those 3 values and then mine for an

example.

Bilirubin (0.0-1.0) mine 15.5 high bile/liver function

Creatinine (0.7-1.3) .8 normal kidney function

INR or PT (0.8-1.2) 2.06 high blood clotting

factor

You see how different those numbers are to what you gave me?

have you gotten an answer from your Dr on the current MELD?

I don't know if I am helping you or confusing you.
