Blood Work Results

genmel · 09-13-2007, 06:15 PM

Ok, so I got my results before I go to my surgeon. From what I can tell, I am anemic or borderline anemic. My calcium, glucose, SGOT, SGPT, ALK PHOS, Protein, Albumin, Sodium, Potassium (at lowest point), Chloride, CO2, and Anion Gap stuff is okay. My BUN is 6 (should be 15-38) and my Createnine is 0.6 (it should be 0.6-1.3).
My HGB is 11.4 (should be 11.5 - 15.5), my MCV is 73 (should be 80-98), and my MCH is 22.7 (should be 27.0-34.0), and my Platelet count is 417 (should be 150-400). So, my research tells me that I am anemic, have thin blood, and have a b12 defiecency. Anyone want to take a guess?

Of course, I will wait and see what the surgeon says tomorrow and let you all know. I could be totally wrong.

But, it has been 3 months for me and Cindylouwho and I am just proud of both of us!

Yes, you are borderline anemic, and while with my normal stomach patients, I would say watch your diet, get in food high in iron, for bypass patients, it's best to get V12 shots plus iron pills.
Otherwise, looks like you're in pretty much good condition.
And congrats on the weight loss!! Way to go!
