Confused on results, what do they mean?
Creatinine: 78 umol/L (60-120)
eGFR > 60ml/min/1.73m2
An eGFR >= 60ml/min/1.73m2 does not always exclude kidney disease, especially if proteinuria, abnormal urine sediment or hypertension are present. ( eGFR is less reliable in patients with extreme of body weight, muscle disease or server liver disease).
C reactive protein: 1.6 mg/L (0-5)
CRP may be used either as a marker of inflammation in unwell patients or as a CVD risk marker in currently healthy patients as follows:
3 Increase (x1.5-2 ) risk
CK: 163 IU/L ( 60-220)
Troponin T <0.01 ug/L ( <0.03)
Troponin T: Comment: this result does not support mycoardial injury but the Troponin T should be repeated if
the specimen was collected less than 12 hours after the last episode of chest pain.

Thanks very much for your comments.. So all the results are fine? That is a relief because I just thought with all the pathologist comments it was otherwise..
Thanks

Hi,
You have already given answers in all your concerns about the different investigations and they are perfectly okay. I don’t think I need to add a word to them. A normal GFR is 90-120 ml/min and anything less than 90 ml/min is definitely not good and denotes some degree of kidney dysfunction. As rightly mentioned, even if the GFR is okay and the patient has got proteinuria/HT, then he/she is at the risk of damage to the kidney.
The CRP just like ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is elevated in a large no. of conditions which can vary from something like a mild bacterial infection to something as serious as cardiovascular disease.
Trop T is a very specific test for ruling out an injury to the myocardium but it’s usually raised in the blood quite early and occasionally needs to be repeated to confirm the same.
I hope that helped. Please do keep me posted.
Kind Regards.
