Ok. so I got my lab results back and many things have shown improvement, some got worse. But I guess my problem is not sure what to do about it. I totally changed my vitamin regimn since the old one was clearly not working (100,000 dry d 50,000 a 2000 calcium 50 zinc a multi vitamin vitron c b12 sublingual) in june my labs were very bad so I needed to make a change. I had iron infusions a reclast infusion and stopped taking all vitamins and switched to the patch. Everyone said my numbers would drop but some have but some have gotton better.. so where do I go from here.
Here are the lab results.

sooo.. as you can see most things went from out of range to in range but low. I know we want the levels to be mid or high but at least this is a step in the right direction.
I take no iron since the 12 month per the drs instruction since i had an iron infusion. my iron is low but within normal range with a good ferratin so I think that is fine.
my protein calcium and d are all low normal.
my zinc has gone down (will start taking the zinc pills I kinda forgot about taking them)
My A is low but has gone up. Since taking the Dry A really did seem to help my plan is to take 1 A pill a day
My hemo and hema look fine.
I am concerned about my alt since it has continually gone up. could there be a liver problem?? could it be caused by something else???
My plan right now is to keep on the patch. adding zinc and vit a and 2 scoops of upcal d since the normal dry d really did not help.
