Thanks for getting back to me. Shows how little I remember, I evern forgot each lab has its own reference range. If you do have the time to relook at this the ranges are these - Alk Phos 35-104 IU/L, Abumin 34-50 g/L, Calcium 2.15-2.55 mmol/L, phosphate 0.87-1.45 mmol/L, Parathyroid Hormone 1.6-6.9 pmol/L. Don't worry if this still is meaningless or you don't have time to answer, I can see myself all is in normal ranges. It's just sometimes as I know from my forgotten training even normal findings can show a pattern if some values area at the extreme end. Only one that fits here is the Alk Phos reading, and from what I know it's better to have a low reading on this one, or am I wrong? Seems I can pretty much rule out a thryoid problem - strong family history of naughty thyroids but I don't know whether it is a genetic thing. Know I've picked up the odd genetic nasty from my family, but haven't we all?
It's somewhat scary how quickly you lose all your medical knowledge when you're not working, or is it just me? Hopefully starting again is September, if this high flying business job doesn't snap me up first (in my dreams). The salary they're offering would be like winning the lottery. I can fantasize..... Thanks for even considering my bloodwork, you are so dependable, you know how much I think of you. With your training as a doctor this is a valuable tonic for me, I'm almost primed to recoil at doctors. Have to remember that any one of my doctors could really be a fab person like you. This is another hidden way you help on this site, so many of us have memories of trauma from medics, and then our best friend and leader on the site is trained as one - makes the world a better place for us! Enough now will stop singing your praises. I don't know if you go my message re eye hospital but just to remind you they are following me up urgently on this one. Again so glad you advised me to go. I really wasn't going to bother - which may have been the stupidest decision I ever made. Appt in a few weeks, then another a week later. Normally it takes about six months to get seen by them, so this is a priority, and they told me my case was urgent. Keep thanking you, but only because I keep feeling grateful.
Those are metric units of measure and I can't evaluate them. You need to check them against the normal values for the lab.
