Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 My hemoglobin tends to run high normal & even out of range (16.0) last fall. At the same time, bilirubin has always been low normal (.4). Is there any significance to this, since old hemoglobin gets converted to bilirubin in the liver & exits in bile? I noted this while studying up on my fast Phase I/slow Phase II Glucuronidation, because that scenario might more likely suggest highish bilirubin levels. My iron/ferritin levels have not be tested. RBC, Hematocrit, & MCH were also high normal, while WBC's (especially neutrophils) were their typical low normals. Other Comp Metabolic Panel results that are on the margins: chloride low-normal 99, Alkaline Phosphatase low-normal 41, BUN/Creatinine Ratio high normal 21.6, Albumin/Globulin ratio high normal 2.0. Vit D was low-normal at 33 & I was put on Vit D, told this was linked to the low Alkaline Phosphatase.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Joanne - I don't really know much of anything about the details of this test. I am identifying one thing that Andy has mentioned in HTI, which is that if magnesium (hair) is yellow or red low, along with alkaline phophytase being below 50, then in addition to the magnesium and taurine he suggets B6. Here is the word on B6: B6 does not agree with everyone. Adult: 100-250mg with meals and at bed-time (3-4x/day). If it works, worth experimenting with amounts. If not, don't jack it up. If > 500mg 4x/day can get tingling & numbness in hands & feet. If happens, stop and it will cease in a few days. Not much, but it's all I got!
