There are so many tests I did not list them all. I did not go off my supplements before testing so iron , C , B12, calcium, magneseum, vitamin d, muti vitamis are all being taken faithfully and since have added K to the mix. I have no idea what some of them mean that do show abnormalties but the dr says they are ok?

BUN CREATIVE RATIO 37 HIGH is concerning. You may be dehydrated or starting kidney disease. A high protein diet will raise creatinine but 37 seems high to me.

Do you have older test results that you can compare?

I will go back in and see what I had last

The last year test was given by ny primaryn whicj says normal but the range given is different 40 to 59 and mine is 48 and says bun creatinine ratio and says mine is normal. this range was 12 to 28 and mine is 37. It was taken at two different places 1 year apart. My alt is at 33 and max is 32 this time also

Call and ask about it. Doctors sometimes overlook these things.

You are missing two very important lab values. You NEED your Ferritin (Iron stores) tested and your PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) this tests if you are losing calcium or not.

Ferritin for a post op RNY patient who is still menstruating you would want your number to be at 100 or higher, preferably higher, I like to keep mine at 200 or above. If you are not menstruating you could be lower in the 75-100 range.

For PTH you actually want the number to be on the lower side NOT higher. The higher then number that means you are not absorbing calcium and in fact leaking it out.

I think your B12 is slightly high but I do know lots of people on here who like their B12 in the 1000-1500 range so you are not that high.

It says PTH is 42 reading normal the range that was listed was 15 - 65 and I had a full hysterectomy at 27 so no more menustrating. LOL. Just iron satuation and those other ones are listed. I do not see ferritan though. I do not know what those other ones mean
