Blood tests
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:20 pm
I have some questions for all of you experts about my latest blood test. The idiot intern doctor left a message on my machine that everything was fine. I got a copy today because I want to bring it to my neurologist to ask about Vit D levels. One of my liver enzymes-GOT/AST-was high. Not exceedingly, but high all the same. This kind of freaked me out as I'm supposed to do my shot tonight. I called MS lifelines and talked to the nurse and she said a little elevated is nothing to worry about. The range was 8-39 and I had 43. Does this sound reasonable to everyone? Is it pretty normal when you're on a CRAB?
I asked him to check my Vit D level. It's listed as Vit D, 1, 25-dihydroxy. Is that the type I want tested? It's at 43 out of 15-75 and he said this was well within range and no need to take a supplement. Still gonna ask the neuro.
Lastly, I know Jimmylegs and many others are interested in uric acid. Mine is 3.4 out of 2.6-5.9. I consider this to be low normal. What level do we want it to reach? I know many take inosine to raise their levels. Just curious.
Thanks for any help, I'm clueless about all this stuff.
