Re: Help reading bloodwork results pls?

[Guest guest]

I've got it all typed out below; it's a lot. Sorry if there is more

info then needed; I wasn't sure what was needed. Based on this our

practitioner is recommending Valtrex & still wants him to have MB12

shots. I need to understand this better so I can speak about this

with our practitioner with some idea what is needed, not needed, why,

etc... I have so much trouble with these tests.

Thanks in advance for your help... Michele

Comp Metabolic Panel (14)

Glucose, Serum: Result=112 Flag=High units=mg/dL Ref: 65-99 lab: 01

Unable to calculate GFR. Age & /or sex not provided or age <18 yrs old.

Note: persistent reduction for 3 months or more in an eGFR <60

mL/min/1.73 m2 defines CKD. Patients with eGFR values >/=60

ml/min/1.73 m2 may also have CKD if evidence of persistent

proteinuria is present.

A/G Ratio: Result: 1.5 Ref: 1.1-2.5

Bilirubin,total: Result=0.3 units: mg/dL ref: 0.1-1.2

Alkaline Phosphatase,S: Result=223 units: IU/L Ref: 150-530

AST (SGOT): result: 27 units: IU/L Ref: 0-40

ALT (SGPT) result: 22 units IU/L Ref: 0-55

Measles/mumps/rubella immunity

Rubella antibodies, IgG: Result: 19 units: IU/mL

units: non-immune Ref: <5

units: equivocal Ref: 5-9

Units: immune Ref: >9

Rubeola Ab, IgG, EIA: Result=3.90 Flag: High Units: index Ref: 0.00-

0.90

Units: negative Ref:<0.91

Units: equivocal REf: 0.91-1.09

Units: Positive Ref: >1.09

Presence of antibodies to rubeola is presumptive evidence of immunity

except when active infection is suspected.

Mumps Abs, IgG Result: 3.25 Flag: High Units: index Ref: 0.00-0.90

Units: negative Ref: <0.91

Units: Equivocal Ref: 0.91-1.09

Units: postitive Ref: >1.09

Presence of antibodies to mumps is presumptive evidence of immunity

except when active infection is suspected.

HSV 1 and 2-Specific Ab,IgG

HSV 1 IgG, Type, Spec Result: <0.9 Units: index Ref: 0.0-0.8

Units: negative Ref: <0.9

Units: equivocal Ref: 0.9-1.0

Units: positive Ref: >1.0

Note: negative indicates no antibodies detected to HSV-1. Equivocal

may suggest early infection. If clinically appropriate, retest at

later date, POsitive indicates antibodies detected to HSV-1;

coinfection wih HSV 1 cannot be excluded without type specific

testing.

HSV II IgG, Type Spec: Result: <0.9 Units: index Ref: 0.0-0.8

Units: negative Ref: <0.9

Units: equivocal Ref: 0.9-1.0

Units: positive Ref: >or=1.1

Note: negative indicates no antibodies detected to HSV-I1. Equivocal

may suggest early infection. If clinically appropriate, retest at

later date, POsitive indicates antibodies detected to HSV-2;

coinfection wih HSV 2 cannot be excluded without type specific

testing.

Vitamin B12 & Folate

Vitamin B12: Result: 1704 Flag: High Units: pg/mL Ref: 211-

911

Folate (folic acid),serum: Result: >24.0 Units: ng/mL Ref: >5.4

Unit: Indeterminate: Ref: 3.4 -5.4

Unit: Deficient Ref: <3.4

Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy: Result: 47.9 Units: ng/mL Ref: 32.0-100.0

Recent studies consider the lower limit of 32.0 ng/mL to be a

threshold for optimal health.

Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct, S

T4, Free, (Direct): Result: 1.32 Units: ng/dL Ref: 0.92-1.57

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Ab, IgG

CMV Ab, IgG (cytomegalovirus): Result: <0.9 Units: index Ref: 0.0-

0.8

Units: negative Ref: <0.9

Units: equivocal REf: 0.9-1.0

Units: positive Ref: >1.0

TSH: Result: 1.722 Units: uIU/mL Ref: 0.370-6.000

Zinc, plasma, or serum: Result: 95 Units: ug/dL Ref: 70-150

Plasma not separated from cells. May cause false elevation of plasma

levels...
