Need help with my lab results

My Dr is out of town, and the only person who can give me interpretation of my recent lab results.

I already have a confirmed  diagnosis of lyme, but the dr wanted to see of there were any other confections, etc, so she ordered further tests.

IS anyone out there familiar with these results that I am looking at that are considered significant:

On the CBA/Diff Ambiguous Default :
    RBC  5.90 HIGH
    Hemaglobin  18.4 HIGH
    Hematocrit 54.6  HIGH

Neutrophils   76   HIGH

HNK1  (CD57) Panel
% CD8-/CD57+ Lymphs    0.8  LOW

ABS.CD8-CD57+ Lymphs   11  Low

Comp.  Metabolic Panel   (14)  
   Chloride,   Serum    95   LOW
   Carbon Dioxide,  Total  30   HIGH

Iron and TIBC
   Iron Bind. Cap  (TIBC)  220   LOW
   UIBC   120   LOW

Hemoglobin   ALC   5.9   HIGH

If it had been bands of Western blots I could tell more but ephedra is correct there should be a range given next to the results and they usually write high or low next to your result.
My CD-57 is the same. Burascano use to love that tests but there seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding the results. Some people feel great and have a low result and vice a versa.

They should be straightforward.  There should be a reference range next to the values.  That would give you an idea how far out of range you are.  From what I can tell by memory (not researching reference ranges), is that they don't appear to be way out of range.

Did you not have a simple iron, and only a TIBC/UIBC?  I'd imagine that it would be low as well...   Hmm, low iron and high RBC?  My labs don't make  much sense either.

Obviously your CD57 count is quite low.  This would not be specific to any particular coinfection(s).  It can be lowered by other things i.e. mold exposure, viruses, ect...      

As for the others, there is nothing that I can see that would be consistent with any coinfections.  I'm not sure exactly what your doctor is looking for.

This is just off the top of my head opinion.  And I am not a physician.
