Copy of my blood work back..?!
Question:
Copy of my blood work back..?
So I have been asking question's lately about what hormone could be out of whack. Well I have my blood tests back and I need some information on why some of them are out of normal range- what could be the cause? My carbon Dioxide levels are 15L when they should be 21-33... Bilirubin levels are 2.0H they are supposed to be 0.2-1.1.. My ALT level is 33 H when it should be 5-32 U/L .. also my Hemoglobin is 15/4 H when it should be 11.5-15.3 g/dL... if anyone can explain what all this means I would be thankful. My doctor was very concerned about one of them and made them retest to make sure.. I am just worried.. thanks
Answers:
Carbon dioxide just means you may have been nervous and not breathing properly when they did the test. Mine is usually high because I tend to hyperventilate a little
Bilirubin relates to your liver- it can have a number of meanings, but you want it to be low rather than high. Yours is a little high and since it can mean a number of things, it's something to look into
ALT also relates to liver function. Yours is normal. One point outside of normal range is not a problem. It probably relates to you Bilirubin.
Hemoglobin is good- you don't want to be anemic. I wouldn't worry about that one at all.
