High Calcium, low wbc
I just received blood work results. My calcium is 10.6, my wbc is 4.24, and ALT is 49. Should I be concerned?
My ALT was elevated since I was taking pain meds and prednisone the few weeks before lab test. Your physician should be sending you explanation of your lab results.
Calcium might be slightly higher than NL, so you might wanna stop taking calcium pills if you are and take Magnesium instead. Contrary to what the media advertises, we don't need so much supplemental Ca since its abundant in the regular foods we eat.
Have you had your Vit D checked ? Everyone I know who has been checked for Vit D are low. Magnesium is a supplement that needs to be taken more so than Calcium. Please google search: too much calcium : then search
Magnesium deficiency.. whether this will be your case or not, there will be good info to learn about Mg that would apply to you and your family members as well. Everyone needs Magnesium supplementation.
