Hi all
I had a series of blood tests three years ago when first diagnosed with CFS which I was told by the consultant as unremarkable (charming!). I have Gilbert's Syndrome with small fatty liver deposits. Previous EPV infection.
I've dug out the letter sent from the hospital as I think I need to go back to my GP for a check up and discuss a few new symptoms that have cropped up over the last year. I have no idea what some of these blood test results mean, so I wondered if anyone medical could explain them for me and whether they may be of interest to test again for? I'll type out out the results exactly as written in the the letter:
negative Hepatitis A, B and C
All lymphocyte counts are normal
immunoglobulins are normal (apart from a slight rise in IgA at 4.3 but no monochronal band), ANA anticardiolipin, antimitochondrials and smooth muscle, anti-gastric perital cells are all negative, compliment is normal.
HbA1c is 30 (normal)
White cells 6.8
Hb 162
platelets 2.53
neutrophils 4.2
ESR 4.2
creatinine 74
albumin 44
bilirubin 14
ALT 96
Troponin less than 17
CK 53
CRP 1
TSH 1.3
Vitamin B12 309
ACE 41.
If anyone could help me out I'd be very, very grateful!
