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

yea, think it would be real interesting i'll try to scan it to the computer tomorrow or tuesday, there's a hell a lot of numbers

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.

that's everything, let's hear it

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?

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.

Where do you live?

nj area, why?

does nj have a much higher pollution?

ya kellyb's post was damn good.

he's a knowledge nut :F

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