1542723 tn?1294447438 Thanks Ed, last time I had my cholesterol checked ( in hospital ) it was 1.9 - Last week I took advantage of the local Tesco pharmacy's offer of free Cholesterol test. The test failed and came up as "error" because it was only effective upto 2.5 and therefore my level was below that. On these forums I keep seeing Cholesterol figures ( US ) which clearly could not be same as in UK. Guess will need a converter.
Avatar f tn It is not that they are unreliable, but the wrist units measure pressure at a different point, with different norms. Wrist pressure norms are slightly different than arm norms. They have to be held up to the level of the heart while taking a pressure.
Avatar m tn Of Your blood work ,you said "Non reactive". That doesn't mean a lot. What we're talking about,is the cause of your elevated liver enzymes. You should be tested for all hepatitis, to exclude you're infected. Then you know,your elevated liver enzymes,are not caused by hepatitis infection. If you're infected with any hepatitis virus,then you should see a liver specialist, and will tell you more. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I took a hsv 1/2 igg blodd test type specific AB on the 8 of august at a planned parenthood place. I went online today and saw my results, but they said that they will call in a week or two if something positive came up. The results were --HSV 1 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB- measure 27.00, unit-index, abnormal flag H. HSV 2 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB, measure < 0.90, units-index, abnormmal flag N.
Avatar m tn Calculating the ratio can be very confusing, although the calculation is straightforward. It just depends on what units of measure were used for FT3 and RT3. Usually I just divide the FT3 by RT3 and multiply by 10 or 100, whichever gives me a result that is a whole number between 1 and 2. Then for comparison, the desired level is reported as being between 1 and 2, with higher being better. Some places recommend a level of 2 or higher.
Avatar f tn Total T3 and total T4 measure the total amount of the respective hormones in your blood. However, much of that is chemically bound by protein and thus unavailable to cells. FREE T3 and FREE T4 measure the available levels. Very important... That being said, your T4 is a little on the low side. Midrange is where many of us have to be to feel well, and yours is only at 25% of range. It looks to me like you might need a meds increase, and it's possible that your FT3 level is inadequate.
Avatar m tn after taking alcohol my eyes get itchy and red. can you please tell me, because of taking alcohol my eyes are red. As SGOT is normal to 40 units/litre... i am facing problem in winter... Is this kind of alergy or liver damage. after concern of eye doctor, he just prescribing allergy eye drops.
Avatar n tn The reason to dilute U-100 insulin, where 1cc=100 units is to create a U50 or U20 insulin where 1cc has 50 or 20 diluted units. Again, having a diluted insulin can make it easier to measure out 1/4 or 1/2 units at a time. There is considerable training to safely diluting and safely using diluted insulin, but it can be a great tool if your endo wants you work with fractional units.
Avatar n tn The thing about the 1h test is your system is bombarded with an abnormally large amount of sugar in a short time and the blood test will measure your response to it - this is quite different from measuring your levels throughout the day which may be more "normal" because your sugar intake could have been at a relatively low level. In essence, testing your levels throughout the day is not necessarily a good indicator of whether you have GD or not.
Avatar f tn I am taking 20 units and trying to reduce the units but no success yet. The effects of too much or too little will mean a smaller or larger baby. It is hard but writing my meals out along with checking my blood sugar helps much. I have cut out yogurt because it spikes my glucose levels too high.
Avatar n tn ALT and AST are enzymes made in the liver. They are also known as transaminases. The liver uses these enzymes to metabolize amino acids and to make proteins. When liver cells are damaged or dying, ALT and AST leak into the bloodstream.
Avatar m tn Bilirubin levels can be used to identify liver damage/disease or to monitor the progression of jaundice. Increased total or unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin may be a result of hemolytic, sickle cell or pernicious anemias or a transfusion reaction. If conjugated(direct) bilirubin is elevated, there may be some kind of blockage of the liver or bile ducts, hepatitis, trauma to the liver, cirrhosis, a drug reaction, or long-term alcohol abuse...."

Avatar n tn There is a basic problem in that nobody has adequately explained to you the use of your life-saving medications. Do not be embarrassed to tell the doctor of health care practicioner "I don't understand" and walk out of the office. These people are so used to dealing with medications and diabetes they sometimes fail to understand how difficult it is for a lay person to listen to a three-minute briefing and come away with understanding. This is not your fault.
