Lab results are in.......I NEED HELP PLEASE
I just got the letter in the mail and thought I would share with you and see what my sisters/brothers think. This is the first labs I have had done since surgery on April 7.
WBC-5.5
RBC-4.19 LOW
HGB-10.9 LOW
HCT-32.9% LOW
Sodium 140 mmol
Potassium 3.9 mmol
Glucose 69mg LOW
Calcium 9.2 mg
Magnesium 2.1 mg
Phosphorus 3.2 mg
Iron 17 mcg LOW
Tibc 437 mcg
Vit B12 529 pg
Ferritin 4.4 ng LOW
Tsh .87 milliunit
Cholesterol 147 mg
Hdl 48 mg
Ldl 86 mg
Triglycerides 67 mg
Intact PTH 92.9 pg HIGH
Hemoglobin 5.1%
Vit B1, Whole Blood ARUP 70
Vit D 25 Hydroxy ARUP 25 ng
Zinc 44mcg LOW
Folate RBC ARUP 395 ng
Recommendations: Indicators of your iron status are out of range. My Parathyroid hormone is high which indciates my bones are not getting enough calcium and vit d. My zinc level is low so they say I need to locate a supplment for that.
The scrpit they sent to me reads as follows: Vit D 50,000 iu 2x per week po x 3 month supply.
Does that mean a shot or pills? I get confused on all this.
I can not eat nor drink, Milk, Cottage Cheese or Eggs. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly of help.
Thank You, Becky
