Still trying to post my 1 year labs. These are the main ones I hope!

B12 >1000,  Folic Acid >20.00,  HBA1C 4.5,  ALB 4.7, CALCIUM  9.0,

On the high was BILI total 1.4, AST 51, ALT 64, What do ya think??

Mag 2.0, Trig 99 ( down from 189 at 6 months), Chol  80, HDL 30, LDL Direct 31, Prealb  33.4
Iron 90,
In my CBC the MPB was 11.1. .1 high. What does this mean??
VitD25  27.4, still low but trending up from 20.8 at 6 months. My PTH 41, it also trended up about 10 points. I have added more D.
Vit B1 163,   Vit K,Vit A 64, Vit E 9.3, Zinc 117

OK these are the main ones I need help with. Am taking more D and K. No NSAIDS because of Liver function. Please tell me what you think. All advice appreicated!

OH is not liking me and this  is the best I could do. Don't know what the hell is going on but it would let me copy and paste the entire thing, just bits and pieces. Thanks for looking!

Ruby,

You can enter all your labs as a spreadsheet on Google Docs and post a link here, You have to set it so that it is not private.

I don't know what MPB is, are you sure those are the correct initials?

You can use this to help understand your labs: http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/

Try taking your D away from any fat and spread them out.

Try Milk Thistle for your liver.  It is not unusual for liver markers to be elevated during fast weight loss periods. What were they at your last labs? and when was that?

How much calcium do you take? and how do you take it? 3x a day or 4x a day?

Do you have any more iron markers? like TBIC, Iron Sat, Ferritin?

It was MPV, sorry! I will check out the link to help understand my labs.

I take my main D at 2, away from meals.  The D I just added I take the other 3 times I take meds.

I take Calcium 4 times a day. 2400mg.

No other Iron markers this time. I need to have them recheck that. Thanks!

The last time I had my labs done was at 6 months post op. These are a big improvement to my 6 months.

I will try the spread sheet and see if I can figure it out. Thank you so much for your help.

Milk Thistle I will try this!

Ruby,

If you are trending up, I wouldn't worry, you are doing it right!

I would, however, work on bringing the PTH down.  You are also doing the right things to make that happen.

Thanks!! That's what I had to beat into the nurses head. I told her 4 times I was taking 50k D3. She was still insisting on 2000iu script D. I explained to her that it was trending up and that I would get my own D3. Will test again in 8 weeks and see where that is then.

The milk thistle, will 1000mg soft gels work or do I need to get a tablet form?? I'm thinking I need to look for a vegetarian style maybe??

PM Majormom.  She knows more about it than I do!
