Can someone answer me?!?!
Question: Can someone answer me!?!!?
I recently had a full work up on my blood and everything came back perfectly normal except two things!.
1!. Carbon Dioxide was low (18 out of a 21-33 reference range)
2!. HDL Cholesterol was low (39 which should be no lower than 46)
My question is - I understand that the lower the HDL (and higher the LDL) I am a candidate for heart disease!. Lucky for me, my LDL was low!. But, how do I get that HDL up!?!?
Also, what are the problems that will come out of my Carbon Dioxide being so low!? My Doctor mentioned possible kidney problems, but my BUN and Creatinine levels are perfect!.
Can someone find me a link explaining these two things!?
10 points is yours!Www@Answer-Health@Com
