I got my blood work results back. The note just says the rheumy will talk to me about the results in our next appointment -- which is four months off.
So I was out of normal range in several places:
Sed rate was 34, normal range is 0-20
WBC was 3.8 and normal range is 4.5-11.
RBC was 3.93, normal range 4.00-5.2
MCV was 99.5, normal range 81.0-99
MCH was 34.2, normal range 26-34
Potassium was 3.4, normal 3.6-5.1
Chloride was 99, normal 101-111
CO2 was 35, normal 22-32
I had blood in my urine, which is a constant for me because of interstitial Cystitis
Also in the urinalysis,
Epithelial cells were 3-4 and normal was 1-2
So what does it all mean? One thing I looked at said maybe I need more folic acid or vitamin B or something. But ..... I'm not even sure whwat the last two tests listed are. I was in normal range on a lot of things, although at the very lowest possible for Absolute lymphocytes and absolute monocytes, both my score was 1.0 and 0.3 respectively, when the normal ranges start at 1.0 and 0.0. Who knows?
Any help I can get would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunny
