rsv lab values

I am negative for both and would like to remain so. The lab values on his HSV 2 test were quite high. My question is do your lab values fluctuate or go up when my partner is in an outbreak? An example of what I am asking would be similar to a case where someone has some sort of bacterial infection and their white count goes up.

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?

My husbands grandmother had non-hodgkins. Now my husbands lab values are abnormal. Wbc, Rbc, Hct, hgb, rdw, neut, lymph, mono, baso#'s are high. Just really concerned. Referring us to a hemotologist. what do you think.

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.

i have this as well. i think it means that there is a large variation in size of your red blood cells? i think if the other values (rbc count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, etc) were out of whack, they'd be more concerned. were you other values within range? maybe you need more iron in your diet? i guess on any given day our blood work can change depending on our stresses, exposures, diets, etc. i have high rdw and low hemoglobin.

but Influenza is excruciatingly painful (and RSV was not painful but is the only virus I went to an ER fearing death.) I fear Influenza so much I have been doing masks and Listerine for years but all it takes is that one exposure (RSV) during a lapse in following my own advice. I am curious whether Influenza could be eradicated in the future.

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

I was in the ER a year ago because I felt like I was suffocating to death, and was hearing crackles in my chest. RSV B virus according to the nasal aspiration test lab results. (RSV-a pleasant way to die-you slowly suffocate but don't have any of the nasal sinus throat pain that comes with flu.) Xrays were negative but oxygenation rate was 85% and they gave me oxygen and an Albuterol nebulizer treatment, discharged home with antibiotics and an inhaler.

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?

Concierge physician is home with ill wife, office closed with no medical backup. Do you think I can continue with these lab values until he may return next week or is this worth of an ER visit, which I do not want to do. So, hold on with current Synthroid dose or E.R.

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 ****. Genotype 1b ast194 alt 274 HCV ab 34.

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.

Do lab values usually get better after stopping incivek.... Hbg @9.1..... Stop inc the same day got labs.

My 11 week has rsv .. He was full term .. Has any other mother had this in a infant ..

Finally a few days ago i took him in again to the ER n they found out he has a virus newborns have been getting its Called Rsv n if they would have tested it before they would have found it i was So pissed!!! So now today we got out of the childerns hospital they sent him home with oxygen but to me he still seems bad but they that he was Fine!!

My son is going to be 2 months old soon and a couple of days after he was born they told me he has RSV, i have been in and out of the hospital so many times and he dose not seem to be getting any better. I have read everybody stories and How they lost their loved ones and i am so scared that it might happen to my son. Please is there anything that i can do to prevent this from getting worse???

I brought Brody to his pediatrician last week because he was very congested. After a nose swab was tested it was determined that he has RSV. Since it's a virus it can't be treated with antibiotics, so she instructed me to get a cool mist humidifier and keep his nasal pasages clear by using saline solution. The only symptom he's had is the congestion. There's no fever, coughing, mucous coming out, etc.

Saturday he was having lots of nasal congestion and coughing so I took him to the ER. He tested positive for RSV so the last few days have been scary. We are doing a cool mist humidifier with eucalyptus oil at night, albuterol breathing treatments and keeping his nose suctioned out. I hope he gets better soon but I did learn that apparently you cant trust family to let you know...

I see people posting values that I can't figure out... Or I can't figure out my own... 3 weeks ago it was 107 with a reference range of 123 - 157. I think that was at week 5. I see values posted of 9, 10, etc. being 'low'. How low is mine in comparison? I'm assuming it's a different unit of measurement since I'm in Canada.

If you started to feel better after the two weeks on 50 mcg, it probably indicates that it was benefiting you. Were you only on levo for two weeks altogether? Do you have the lab results from before you started the levo? I think going to an endo would be an excellent idea. I think your neurologist is wrong. Your numbers are low enough to cause muscle aches, etc. If you get your FT3 up, you might be surprised to find out how many of your other ailments are actually thyroid symptoms...
