Copied from another thread:
I have some puzzling lab results. Mostly, I think that I am just over-supplementing on a couple of things particularly iron and calcium. Easy fix, scale back, right? I need some better thinkers to help me interpret the results so that I can have an intelligent conversation with my PCP.
Unless noted, assume the value is in the normal range of results. Here they are, normal ranges noted in parenthesis:
Last year my PTH tripled to 76.2 (15 -65) so I upped my calcium and Vitamin D a bit this year it was normal at 42.8
Calcium was normal last year at 9.6, this year it is high at 10.9, (8.7 - 10.2)
Vitamin D was 70.1 last year, 130 6 months prior to this, and 54.3 this year, (30 - 100)
TBIC (250-450) mine is normal at 368
Iron Serum (35-155) last year it was normal at 62 now it is high at 178
Iron Saturation % (15 – 55) 48.4
Ferritin, Serum (Serial) (15 – 150) last year was 285, now 361
Creatinine, Serum (.57 - 1.00), pre op .8; six months post op, .63; last year .06; this year, .06
Phosphorus (2.5 - 4.5), last year 4.8, this year 5.1
ALT (SGPT) (0 - 32) last year high at 46, this year higher at 61
Hematocrit (38.0 - 44), Last year normal at 40.5, this year high at 45.3
TSH (.3 -3.00), Pre-op 2.6, six months post-op 2.56, last year low at 0.19, this year high at 3.32
Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct S (.80 – 1.9) normal at 1.28
T3, total (76-181) low at 75
I take Levothyroxine 75 Mcg for my thyroid. I think I was taking it too close to my iron last year so I spaced it out more.
