Lab Help
Most were fine. The only concern is my liver enzymes. They want me to talk to my PCP about them. I am concerned about my protein. It went down a bit, at the bottom of the range as it is, though my albumin stayed the same. The reason this concerns me is I get at a minimum 150 grams of protein a day, although I upped it to over 175 grams in the last month or so.
Anyway, Gina or anyone who knows these things, if you could give me feedback I would appreciate it. Also, if you could let me know what other labs I need maybe I can convince my PCP to do them when I see her again. I have Vitalady's list but I am afraid she will continue to say no but maybe if there are a few that are crucial maybe I can convince her.
I have having problems posting them. I will try to find a way to post them so they make sense.

JThere are a few others but they are fine. If you want to see any others let me know and I'll see if it was done.

Potassium has me a little worried.
I didn't see vitamin A, and since it a fat soluble vitamin, they should test it for just like vitamin K1. (add those if you can)
Good D3, PTH and calcium.
Iron markers look good.

I am a little worried about the sodium, too. Do I need to eat more salt? I'm not a salt fan. Should I take a Potassium supplement?
I'll keep up with the protein shakes. You would think with 175 grams of protein a day the numbers would be higher.
I was glad my Ferritin went up a bit. The only reason it was high to begin with is because I had an iron infusion and it has been dropping steadily since. This is the first time it went up.

I take a potassium supplement but I have a good dietitian watching the lab results with me. She said I wasn't low enough to need a prescription so I just take several OTC potassium supplements a day and we adjust the daily total as needed.
