Blood test values and interpretation? anybody?

hey guys, i got a blood test recently, most of the values are probably pretty normal, but i have  a decent amount not in the normal range.  I figured it would be pretty cool if i posted them up and we analysed them, that is if anybody knows how to read them and understand everything.  So, anybody know how??????

if so i'll post up the results

screw it, i want to type some of it now get responses

important things to note before the values.  One i ate right before the blood test, like 5 min. before the test i ate.  Also, this was on day 10 of the flying in four program, so i was taking the creatine 5 g after workout, and also taking the brown rice protein, as well as eating a lot in order to put on weight.  I'll try to put all the vallues not in range with a different color.  I don't knkow how the meal before affected the test, i think it raised the glucose, which is why it was probably that high, don't know how it affected any of the other values.

god damn you weren't kidding.

The high RBC count & low hemoglobin count is definitely interesting. I am no doctor of course, but low hemoglobin could be due to iron deficiency etc. Foods rich in iron include meat, chicken, spinach, red kidney beans, cereals etc. You think you could be low on iron?

The high RBC count I can't really comment on... When do you talk to the doctor about your blood test? One way to fudge the test would be if you were dehydrated, which I doubt was the case. So, dno about that one. Low hemoglobin could have some kind of effect on the high RBC count, but i'm not sure. RBC's are created in the marrow so.

not sure, i guess could be deficient in iron?  a lot of athletes are right?

probably a week or two to meet up with the doctor, i have to make an appointment, and the wait is always at least like a week

yeh, interesting, found the platelet count extremely interesting also 116 when the range is 140-400, so i was below and the range is huge.

Is there a difference between creatine and creatinine?

People in higher elevations and higher pollution areas have higher levels of RBCs to account for lower oxygen levels.

I would say it really looks like a bit of iron deficiency. you basically have little red blood cells, with a less than expected emoglobin content in each of them, wich is something you find during iron deficiency. It seems not a B12-folate deficiency (despite it should have explaiend the low platelet count as well) because in this condition you'd find bigger than normal red blood cells. It's nothing to be too worried about.

just be sure to eat some red meat from time to time.

glucose is fine if you eated 5 min before the exam.

the platelet count is a bit on the low side too. Everything KellyB said (among the drugs even the antibiotics sometimes can lower the count, so if you had taken some this can be the reason)  might explain that. I assume you had no hemorrhage related symptoms, so it could simply be a lab error . Do you have any other recent blood test's results?

other things are quite irrelevant.

moreover: why they just determined the THS alone (i.e. without the FT3 and FT4)?
