Blood Test Results

Overall, everything looks pretty good I think. On my CBC test my HCT was a hair low, and my RDW and Mono were slightly high. Everything else was within normal range, although my RBC was at the low end of normal range. On my CMP test my Creatinine and Potassium were slightly low. And my cholesterol was low. I didn't know your cholesterol being low could be a problem, but after researching on the internet I found out that having low "good" cholesterol in bad. After researching this for a few on the WWW it appears I need to up my protein a little and also eat more foods high in potassium. I wondered why I was allowed to eat baked potatoes, which are high in carbs. Found out today they are also a good source of potassium. Guess I'll have one for dinner. lol

Mr. Phillip I dont understand what all that means. What is HCT, RDW, Mono, and RBS. For potassium isnt bananas a really good choice? We have to have some carbs so dont sweat the potato...
