Blood Results

[tripnstumble]

I finally got a copy of my latest blood work. The rheumy that I had seen said all was fine, but of course after years of feeling like hell I am not so trusting in what a Dr. says. I figured you have all had your rounds I'm sure a few times with blood work and would be able to tell me if these are normal ranges. Google isn't the worlds best help :(

This was taken March 22nd Since he said all this was normal that's when my PCP mentioned MS, did the brain mri which was neg. now waiting on the Neuro. apt.

Yea, I always was under the impression that the * means to look into it. Either low or high. Whichever way... But, take the ana which is 1:40 I always thought that was normal/negative for a 1:40 but it does have the * yet Dr. says all is fine? I'm confused with all these *'s I guess lol

I'll take it in for my pcp see what she says about these. Blah more blood work to get this week. I swear their trying to kill me lol

at my hospital a * means abnormal (or out of range) and a ** means critical.

It's a cancer hospital though.

Sometime my bloodwork has a * (like low white count) and my doctor says they look "great" but that is because they are normal / good for someone who has had my treatment.

Some but not all have the high low, and the *. There isn't anything mentioned.

These are the ranges for the ones that have something next to the result. Other then this, there is nothing else on the paper.

CPK (30-135)
RF (-<12)
SSA (-<100)
SSB (-<100)
C3 (88-165)
C4 (12-44)
IgA (70-400)
CReacProt (-<1.00)
ESR (0-20)
B12 (200-900)
Folate (3-20)

There is more to the report which is missing.  What do the stars besides the numbers reflect. Usually they tell you if those are high/low etc. Does the lab report say?
