Bloodsample results

[Guest guest]

HCT from today: 50.5 - Which is OK. I drank 1/2 liter of plain water before the

draw.

I also asked for Vitamin A and D, Ferritin and Estradiol, as these values were

" low or high " on the Hertoghe blood test from mid December 2010. I want to

" double-check " them before doing anything with them. Is this the correct way of

thinking?

I also have some blood sample results from 18th of November, which is 1 month

before the Hertoghe blood sample was done. The Hertoghe test showed high

Estradiol, amongst other devations.

The reason why I am mentioning this previous blood sample is because I wonder if

things like E2, Ferritin, A and D can change so fast in just 1 month. The two

labs (Norway and Belgium) use different measurement units, but you can compare

when you look at where in the range the values are.

Here's the link to Hertoghe's sample results fro mid December 2010 again, which

was done 1 month after the locally done test results below from Norway:

Local blood test analyzed in Oslo, Norway on the 18th of November 2010, prior

(!) to Hertoghes test in mid-December: (Done fasting in the morning)

Cholesterol: 5.4 (3.3 -6.9 mmol/l)

Estradiol: 0.11 (<0.18 nmol/l)

Homocystein: 12.0 (5.0 - 15.0 umol/l)

Lp(a): 596* (<250 mg/L)

Vitamin A: 2.3 (>0.7 umol/l)

S-Insulin: 120 (18 - 173  pmol/l)

S-17-OH-Progesterone: 2.7 (1.8 - 10.4 nmol/l)

S-DHEA: 8.8 (5.3 - 31.7 nmol/l)

S-DHEA-Sulfate: 8.6 (1.6 - 12.0 umol/l)

S-SHBG: 17 (8 - 60 nmol/l)

S-Testosterone: 15 (8 - 35 nmol/l) - This is TOTAL Testosterone, right Phil? It

grew MUCH in the following month, look at Hertoghes sample results.

Free Testosterone Index: 8.9 (2.3 - 9.9 nmol/l - Method: Free Testosterone index

(FTI) = 10 x Testosterone/SHBG)

They don't measure FREE TESTOSTERONE, but they do the INDEX here in

Norway. " Free Testosterone " however, grew during the next month, and on

Hertoghes results it's twice the top range.

Can anyone fill me in on these things? I specifically want to know if thigns can

change so fast in just 1 month between these two samples.

If there's anything that sticks out here, let me know!

PS! I did Vitamin A, D (which both seemed low in Hertoghes sample) as well as

Ferritin (also low on Hertoghes sample) and Estradiol (very high on Hertoghes

sample) today at the GPs. Along with fasting serum electrolytes. I will get the

results in some days. I don't want to start Arimidex til I get a confirmation

that YES, my E2 _IS_ indeed high, like it was on Hertoghes sample.
