Help with Labs!!!

by SarahB79, Jan 08, 2009 12:58PM
I have blood work done every 8 weeks due to a prolactin producing pituitary tumor, Hashimotos & diabetes.  (endocrin train wreck)

I was hoping someone could help me with a few things that seem to be confusing me about my CBC panel. :-)

October 2008 test
Total WBC 10.5 high side in range 3.8-10.8
Neutrophils 69.3  H  42-63
Lymphocytes 24.7  L  25-40
Absolute Mono 116 (.116) L  200-950
Absolute Eosin  515 (.515) H 15-500
Absolute Neutro  7500 (7.5) high side in range 1500-7700 (1.5-7.7)

December 2008 test
Total WBC 11.5 H 3.8-10.8
Neutrophils 74.69 H 42-63
Lymphocytes 19.3 L 25-40
Absolute Neutro 8500 (8.5) H 1500-7700 (1.5-7.7)

Happy to say my prolactin is 1.3  and My TSH is .97.  However T4 is 11.2 and Vitamin D is 19 - Deficiant.

I hope he puts you on some D, if not take OTC D3 at least a couple thousand i.u a day to get that climbing back up again.

Do you have an infection of some sort? I had a few tests with some wild numbers and there was nothing done - it was a wait and see and eventually I just went back to normal. Have you looked at labtestsonline.org to see how the tests check out?

Glad to hear some of your tests show improvement!

Yes, I was taking 800 iu of Vitamin D already with my multi vitamin.  So my dr. recommended another 1000 be added.  

I don't believe I have any infection at this time.  I had a bacterial staph infection on my big toe at the time of my October tests, but it has been treated.  

I posted on another forum and a dr. responded saying the wbc and neutrophils were really only slightly elevated and could be a very minor virus or something causing them to be up.  I am wondering a lot about the lymphocytes being low though.......

I have googled a lot and don't really know what to make of it all. I suppose when I test again in March I will see if there is any change.  :-)

I don't really know what to make of the T4????
