My question is, are there any specific lab values that represent ascites and if the “causes” of ascites specifically are getting better? I understand the cirrhosis is the cause but are there certain LAB values that represent or can be used to judge ascites and see if the TIPS will perhaps work again?
That's not an easy question to answer since reference ranges for thyroid lab tests are very flawed. TSH is a pituitary hormone, and as such is a screening test at best for asymptomatic individuals. Typically, individuals who are hyper have TSH less-than 0.3, and hypos have TSH greater-than 3.0. However there are esoteric thyroid problems that don't conform to that rule and can actually reverse it.
Yes, bleeding can cause a drop in CBC values and once the bleeding stops these values improve. Low triglycerides with normal or high cholesterol can be due to poor eating habits, hyperthyroidism, malabsorption syndromes (including Crohn’s and most likely cause in your case), as a side effect of certain drugs (like nicotinic acid, clofibrate), etc.
sorry but normal alt values has been changed since years on european and US guidelines and of course on all studies, normal alt is 30 for men and 19 for women
studies on liver related deaths suggest even lower alt at 15 for both men and women but since diet on most western countries is rubbish such low values can t be used because most population has higher values due to chemicals in food and type of diet
as to problems with bones it is well known they are due to low vitamin d 25 oh levels whi
t tested for that. The values they gave were 1.19 igm and 0.16 igg. These results were taken from a blood test of some sort. From what I have been reading on some of the boards it seems that this test is unreliable. Is that so? What do these values mean? Why in the world would these people tell us she has herpes if that's not the case? Since these values are so low does that indicate a possible false positive? Or does it just mean that her exposure was too recent to tell?
t take Lovenox. I use one called Arixtra, when I need it. Both Lovenox and Arixtra are shots that you give yourself at home. Arixtra is a once-a-day injection; I'm not sure if Lovenox is given once a day or twice a day. A doctor or nurse can show you how to give yourself the shots. The injection will make a blue spot under your skin that looks like a bruise, but it is not painful.
Hello, I just got some lab results back. I found out I have Hep C back in 1999. Had a liver biopsy it wasn't too bad and have been tracking lab values since. I recently got these labs back and am wondering if anyone can tell me if I should be alarmed and what to do next. I am just switching from Military health care to Civilian Health care. I have ben feeling like total ****.

Yes there are issues that can complicate diagnosis, but with hypo symptoms and those test results for Free T3 and Free T4, it is pretty clear that your thyroid hormones are too low in their ranges. I say ranges, because I am assuming that the reference ranges shown for those tests would be similar to those I see quite often. The ranges are far too broad, since they were established erroneously and have not been corrected like done for TSH over 10 years ago.
Hi! I am 26 weeks pregnant and and have had a somewhat complicated pregnancy. I found out that I am hetero for the Prothrombin gene mutation and also compound hetero MTHFR. So since 12 weeks on I've been on 60 mg lovenox, baby aspirin, prenatals, extra calcium and high folic acid. I get monthly ultrasounds for monitoring. At my last ultrasound this past Monday my Perinatologist just wanted to check my thyroid (not sure why). He ran a Free T3 and Free T4 test.
