Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hello, Val, I haven't paid that much attention to my lab values - other than hormones - but am wondering now about the following levels, especially sodium and potassium: Glucose 86 65-99 Urea Nitrogen 16 7-25 Creatinine 0.97 0.50-1.20 EGFR NonAfrican 58L > or= 60 Bun Creatinine Ratio 16 6-22 Sodium 140 135-146 Potassium 4.2 3.5-5.3 Chloride 101 98-110 Carbon Dioxide 23 21-33 Calcium 10.0 8.6-10.2 Thank you for your input.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 They look fine to me, maybe a bit more seat salt which should also bring up the potassium a bit too. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thank's very much, Val.. I thought these labs might give some clue as to why BP is so high. I imagine it's from being hypo, as I retain a lot of fluid.
