The doctor’s office sent me a copy of my lab work. I have an appointment to see the doctor on the 5th of this month.
The 7600 Lipid Panel:
TRIG My level 188 Normal range is less than 150
CHOL 206 Normal range is less than 200
HDL 39 Normal range is more than 39
CHOL/HDL 5.28 Normal range is less than 5
LDL Calculated 129 Normal range is less than 100
“Lipid profile or lipid panel, is the collective term given to the estimation of, typically, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. An extended lipid profile may include very low-density lipoprotein. This is used to identify hyperlipidemia(various disturbances of cholesterol and triglyceride levels), many forms of which are recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease and sometimes pancreatitis…” Wikipedia
Well I am sure the doctor is going to want to put me on medication to lower my cholesterol levels. I will see what the doctor says on Monday.
”The CMP w/gfr results list 19 things. My Glucose is as always at 94 and normal range is 70 to 105.
The BUN result is high it is 29 and normal is 7 to 25.
The cGFR is low at 54 and normal is above 60.
Since I am on a water pill I was wondering about Potassium and it is 4.2 and normal is 3.5 to 5.3.
My Sodium level was 140 and normal is 135 to 146.
The comprehensive metabolic panel, or chemical screen, (CMP; CPT code 80053) is a panel of 14blood tests which serves as an initial broad screening tool for physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Because it is often ordered as a routine part of an annual physical examination or check up, over time the CMP provides an important baseline of a patient's basic physiology. Any changes or abnormal results, and in particular combinations of abnormal results, thus provides important initial data for differential diagnosis, in which case more specialized tests may be indicated. In and of itself, however, the CMP provides an important gross check on the status of kidney function, liver function, and electrolyte and fluid balance.
In addition to being used at routine physicals of healthy patients, the CMP is routinely administered to monitor the status of a patient with a chronic disease, such as diabetes mellitus or hypertension.
Previous names for the panel of tests have been Chem 12, Chemistry panel, Chemistry screen, SMA 12, SMA 20 and SMAC (Sequential Multiple Analysis - Computer).[1] The tests are performed on machines based on the AutoAnalyzer invented in 1957…”
I will see what the doctor has to say but it looks like I have kidney problems. It looks like I am in stage 3 of kidney damage. But I will see on Monday what the doctor thinks about the results.
I am not worrying about the results. I guess I will wait and see if the doctor is worried first.
