Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Hello I am in the process of having blood test after blood test done on my son who seems to have regressed a great deal lately. 1)His uric acid is " low " . What does that mean? What are the causes etc.? 2)His triglicerides are also low but his cholesterol is high. He is a tall child 5'0 " weighs about 90 lbs. He is ten. So he is not overweight. I just don't get it. 3) We also tested him for B12 and Folate deficiencies and the results indicate that they are both very high. I am not giving him any extra B12. He is getting 50mg a day in his B complex and same for Folic acid. Why is it then high? If anyone has any insight on any of these issues , I sure would like to be enlightened. Thanks , I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High cholesterol might mean his liver is making a lot of that to try to help him make more hormones - cholesterol is the starting material for adrenal and sex steroids. Also high cholesterol might mean it wasn't a fasting test. You're supposed to have no food for 12 hours before the blood is drawn or the cholesterol doesn't mean much. > > > > 3) We also tested him for B12 and Folate deficiencies and > the results indicate that they are both very high. > I am not giving him any extra B12.

The test is normed for people eating an RDA. > > If anyone has any insight on any of these issues , I sure would like to > be enlightened. > > Thanks , > > Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi , Low levels of uric acid in the blood are seen much less commonly than high levels and are seldom considered cause for concern - reference to this fact are all over the interet. Although low values can be associated with some kinds of liver or kidney diseases, exposure to toxic compounds, and rarely as the result of an inherited metabolic defect, these conditions are typically identified by other tests and symptoms and not by an isolated low uric acid result. Reference to this fact are all over the interet. Bee > > > Hello  I have very low uric acid and am trying to figure it out <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
