Abnormal Blood Test Results

[Redhelen72]

I have received some results and they are considered abnormal - do I need to be concerned they have given some Amber markers and some red markers ( I had these done privately and I am just waiting to speak to someone) but would appreciate an explaination of what they actually mean

Thank you

RBC 4.95

Phospate 1.46

eGFR 73

ALT  35

ALP 134

Gamma -GT   168

URIC Acid 415

[Redhelen72]

Sorry I have bwwn slow to get back to you, but there has been a minor mrdical problem at chez nous which is on going.

Perhaps i was a little hasty in shouting out you blood uric acid level as i have seen higher and it is still high and shouldn't be ignored as kidney stones and or gout may be down the road.

See yourGP

[Redhelen72]

Lol you didn't shout you old goat (still lurve you)

I have a telephone consultation on friday  - they offered me a face to face but I am unavailable.

I don't have any pain and I remember by dad getting gout and he was in awful pain. Is there anything I can do to bring it down without medication - honestly the last thing I need is more medication

Thanks sweetie

Sorry that tickled me!

Anne I know I shouldn't, but that made me giggle, given Sqad's 'history' Having said that I do hope that they are both OK

15.49 Reminded me of you, Red, when you made a comment on a thread that "you felt something stirring inside you"🤣

Hope all is well at home, Sqad.

Hi Helen.  Be aware that blood tests can be affected  by some medications.  I spent four days in fear when I was rushed through more blood tests after my annual check one year.  Then had to have a liver scan and told  me I might have to have aliver biopsy.  My liver scan showed nothing wrong.  I had just been persuaded to take statins a month or two before.  I read the possible side effects that warned that they could mess up blood tests for liver function.  Stopped taking them for just a short time as suggested.  Another blood  test and liver function absolutely fine.  Usually GPS adviseva second test because blood tests can fail.

Posted too early. 

I hope all is OK for you. X

And hope all is all OK in Sqaddy Palacex

Thank you Lottie the only meds I take are vitamin B12, lansoprazole and blood pressure 

[Peter Pedant]

yes the urate is high

you should have given the normal range and the units - ya naughty naughty Aber

anyway I thought you were NHS. The answer is allopurinol which you have to take every day - but does work.
