Please help if you can... I don't have a follow-up with my Doctor until Wednesday but, I have a copy of my blood work that was done this Wednesday. I don't want to worry about what it means all weekend.
Unless otherwise listed, other tests were normalNormal saline flush, these are all the abnormal labs:
Please note that I am a pharmacy student, however as part of my training we have learned a little about immunology and lab readings. I'm not an expert but here is a little about what I know.
EBV tests for the Epstein Barr Virus, which could show if you have an active infection or ever have had an active infection of EBV. Basically its mononucleosis which is manageable (don't stress.) Rising IgG levels would most likely indicate active infection.
If you are pregnant, EBV can be used as part of the TORCH screening of different bacterial infections. Most are not serious to mom or baby but there is some risk of miscarrying with some of the diseases such as I believe toxoplasmosis.
C-Reactive protein tests are usually done to diagnose inflammation or acute infection.
Parvovirus i believe tests for a mild disease called "fifth disease" or maybe "fourth disease." You could try to google that.
