Q: what does doctor do a c reactive protein blood test for? mine was <3.0 what does this mean? also my alkaline phosphate was 114 and rbc distrib width was 12.1 what does this all mean?

DRP: It is really important to review your lab results with the medical provider who ordered them. Thus, I plan to focus on your first question. The C-reactive protein; which is also referred to as CRP; is a liver protein that increases when there is inflammation elsewhere in the body.

Q: platelets count is 151 and wbc count is 4.0 are these normal for my age or should i be concerned as they are both low, my alkaline phosphate is 36 u/l i have no symptoms i just did a general blood test like i do each year. i run and exercise a lot ?

Likely normal: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are in the normal range.

Q: dull pain on weigh bearing rheumatologist think it's due to chronic vit d deficiency now vit d normal nuclear bone scan ra factor blood test normal can it be osteomalacia my alkaline phosphate normal?

No: It is not osteomalacia but I also doubt it is due to vitamin D deficiency.

Q: what does serum enzyme levels alkaline phosphate elevated 790.5 i had a blood test for my liver and my doctor told me this i had ultra sound done on my liver and it showed hypercalcemia 275.42 what does it mean?

Misunderstanding : The number 275.42 is the diagnosis code for hypercalcemia (high calcium). That is found on blood tests not an ultrasound. An elevated alkaline phosphatase can come from liver or bone. You need to ask your doc if the rest of your liver tests are normal.

Q: my childs potassium, alkaline phosphate, carbon dioxide are low on blood test. test was done due to my lupus & hypothyroidism. what does this mean?

Hard to say: Random test results reported with no history or exam findings make it impossible to decide if they are important or not. The normal values vary sometimes by age and we don't know if the report used proper kid or adult standards.You should review these with whoever ordered them.

Q: what is the blood test to check blood calcium levels called?

Calcium level: The typical blood test to check a person's blood calcium level is called "serum calcium level", or "calcium level". It is usually done as part of a group of blood chemistry tests called a "chem panel" or a "metabolic panel".

Q: what does ionized calcium blood test check for?

Free calcium: There is a total calcium blood test that measures both ionized calcium and calcium attached to proteins. You may need to have a separate ionized calcium test if you have factors that increase or decrease total calcium levels, such as abnormal blood levels of Albumin or immunoglobulins.

Question 1

extremely high levels of serum alkaline phosphate 280 in the blood test what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things: This can be fine for a growing child or teen, an older person with subclinical paget's (extremely common), or even someone who's non-fasting and just happens to raise the intestinal alk phos on eating. It's also normal for late pregnancy or if you have a healing fracture (you might not even know about, say, a foot stress fracture.).

Question 2

my blood test showed high alkaline phosphate level 184 shuld be less than 115....and i'm having a yellow patched tongue.. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if you are still growing, this level of alkaline phosphatase is not a cause for concern. Use a tongue cleaner along with brushing.   
Wish you good health!

Question 3

hi, i had a blood test last week and my alkaline phosphate serum has dropped from 29 in october to 19, my doctor doesnt seem concerned but i am?

Accepted Answer

No concern: A fall in alkaline phosphatase is of no concern and is not indicative of any disease.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine
