Question 1

i just got my blood/urine test results. i asked for a hard copy for myself. it states that bun under comp. metabolic panel ( 14) is low  ... ?

Accepted Answer

Need the report: It would be helpful to have the actual values of the test results. Low BUN is not an abnormality.

Question 2

what kind of test is a  comp metabolic panel

Accepted Answer

Blood chemistries: Including measures of kidney and liver function, blood sugar, minerals (electrolytes) and protein levels.

Question 3

my husband's comp metabolic panel was: got=47 & gpt=84 both shown as elevated. what could this mean? and what further tests do you recommend? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Abnormal liver tests: The SGOT and SGPT (now called ast and alt) are a bit elevated. These reflect your husband's liver function. I generally repeat the tests in a month, & ask patients to stop alcohol and Acetaminophen (tylenol) also. If the repeat test is still elevated, i  usually test for hepatitis b & c. There are many medical conditions that can elevate liver enzymes - even weight; we search til we find a reason.

Question 4

labs results normal? had a comp metabolic panel w/egfr egfr non-afr american  89 ml/min/1.73m2. what is this lab test? and is this result normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Normal. I actually wish that labs wouldn't report the "estimated gfr's" but let physicians, who after are are more-or-less knowledgeable, use the creatinine in the patient context. Not only is the whole estimate sub-scientific, but the correction for "non-african-american" was actually added "because african-americans are more muscular.".

Question 5

i have a cbc with automated complete diff and a comp. metabolic panel 12 to be done.  will nicotine be detected in either of the tests?

Accepted Answer

No: None of the tests you mentioned is a test for nicotine.

Question 6

all of my labs (comp. metabolic panel and cbc) have been normal twice recently, but i am still terrified i have cirrhosis. is this possible?

Accepted Answer

No: Unless you have a reason to suspect cirrhosis (history of viral infection, chemical or radiation exposure or hereditary liver disease), you should not keep worrying. .otherwise go for a liver biopsy which will yield a definitive diagnosis

Question 7

how likely that minocycline 100 mg bid (1- 2015) & clindamycin cause elevated liver enzymes in hepatic function panel (7)&comp metabolic panel,past iv?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: You should be screened and evaluated for other causes of liver illness or gallbladder/pancreatic illness.

Question 8

my doctor ordered all these tests . what is a cbc , t4 , tsh, comp metabolic panel and lipid w/ trig & ldl ?  why do  i need all of this ?

Accepted Answer

Many tests: When you go in to get the results of the test, it is a great time to ask all of these questions to your doctor.
