Val: my new labs, can you comment?

[Guest guest]

Val, these were done three days ago; would you kindly comment:

sodium; 144 (135-145) am I drinking too much salt-water?

potassium, serum 3.8 (3.5-5.2) have not been taking my potassium

protein, serium 6.6 (6.0-8.5) why's this dipping?

albumin, 4.2 (3.5-5.5)

globulin total 2.4 (1.5-4.5)

alkaline phosphatase 40 (finally these numbers are coming up a tad)

AST 16

ALT 21 (a month ago these numbers were 65 and 70 and we thought it was due to

the cortef or hypothyroid, remember?)

CMV Ab, IgG (Cytomegalovirus) 12.2 (flagged as high)
