liv function test result - stable

[ethandron]

what exactly does that mean?

[Sqad]

Meaningless statement.............more details.

[ethandron]

'liver'
it's what i was told about the liver function bit of my annual blood test. haven't seen my gp yet to ask her and can't find anything on google. it's obviously not a problem but it did seem an odd word to use in a blood test result. wondered if you knew squad.

[Sqad]

When one uses the word "stable" for any results in medicine, it usually refers to the effectiveness of treatment of a given medical condition. I can only assume that your comments refer to routine liver function tests and in which case the words "stable" and normal are synonymous.

[bednobs]

if it's an annual test it just means it's the same or thereabouts as last year

[anneasquith]

stable.............. unchanged since last results.

[ethandron]

right ho, thanks.
last year the bit that pertained to alcohol was higher than normal but not a problem, gp dismissed it really and said don't worry about it.
so if i'm understanding it right, sounds like it's the same as last year? that's a blow as i've been trying (and obviously failing miserably) not to drink as much wine.
oh well, as long as i'm 'stable'....better go and open a bottle to cheer myself up ;o)

eth...blood sugar questionable, liver function tests questionable........LOL ,,,the word incorrigible comes to mind.

[ethandron]

incorrigible, unquenshable, unsinkable, unsteady and untimately undaunted squad ;o)
(by the way, where do you go for your hols, as per holiday 2011 thread??)

[Sqad]

eth....no where......been most places...seen it....done it.

mrs sqad goes to Palma, Barcelona and Manchester shopping about 5 times a year..not with me I might add and I go to Manchester about five times a year for a weekend break.

We both agree on that strategy.

[ethandron]

fair enough.
