Question 1

i have been loosing a lot of blood recently in which i'm currently seeing a specialist for. i received blood 2 times. can that be why im 12 days late?

Accepted Answer

Yes indeed: Anemia is a common cause of absence or delay of menstruation.  Once your anemia resolves or is better controlled, your homonal balance will return.  Keep the close relationship with your doctors.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 2

i received blood results that indicate high protein (8.6) and globulin (4.1) what might this indicate, does it warrant further testing?

Accepted Answer

Check reference rang: The report that you have received will have a reference range of normal levels for Globulins. if your level is high, then it should be further followed with a test called Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPE). This test will show if your globulins are normal or abnormal, the latter can mean that you are producing abnormal globulins, needing further examination by a blood specialist(Hematologist)

Question 3

i received blood results indicating day 3 lh & fsh levels of 5.1 and 3.75 respectively. will low fsh and the lh:fsh ratio affect chance of conception?

Accepted Answer

?? Can't say yea/nay: Not enough information given to say yes or no but your numbers are normal for,time of your menses.

Question 4

why can't people who have controlled congestive heart failure give blood?  i received blood during open heart surgury but can't donate now?

Accepted Answer

Chf: The fear is that donating blood might convert a controlled heart faliure patient into one who is not controlled.

Question 5

i received blood test results that say my white blood cells were 15.7 and my neutrophils were 12403. what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

May just be stress: If you are not obviously ill, and the smear was not reported as abnormal, you may just be stressed. Just a cold shower can raise neutrophils even higher; it causes them to detach from the blood vessels and move in the blood in search of possible invaders. A follow-up may be in order.

Question 6

i received blood test results with positive rnp and ana not detected. is it possible to not have sle or mctd, or it's definite due to positive rnp?

Accepted Answer

Ritter: These tests are prone to lab error, and many healthies have one or both positive especially at low titer. These are only one piece of information that your physician will use.

Question 7

good morning doctors. i received blood work. my egfr is 52. bun is 28. creatinine is 1.49. i was told to speak to both a nephrologist and a urologist. could you please tell me what these results mean?

Accepted Answer

:  Good morning.Your kidney tests are slightly abnormal and need further investigation to find out why. It could be a medical or surgical reason. Nephrologist for medical  and Urologist for any surgical. wish the best

Question 8

i received blood work back that said i was ana positive with a titer of 1:1280. it was dense fine speckled pattern. i have fibromyalgia and have had covid. would this indicate either of these or is this an indicator of an autoimmune issue?

Accepted Answer

?RHEUMATOLOGICAL: The positive ANA needs to be further confirmed and significance sought.  A rheumatologist can help find answers.  It is now conceivable that the diagnosis of fibromyalgia doesn't explain your problems.

Question 9

i just received blood tests and my egfr was low (60). what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: eGFR 60 is lower normal limit of filtering function of kidney at your age.  In case you have an underlying kidney condition, closer follow-up is likely to follow and more attention should be paid not to further deteriorate kidney function, e.g., minimize analgesic use.

Question 10

i recently received blood results showing gamma globulin levels of 0.37 when normal range is 0.7-1.6. is it possible that this is a one-time thing?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside on either side. This may just be you. It is no danger. Stop worrying. If this continues or you are very curious, you can get the various types quantitated. Some folks run way-low on one of the three major types. Usually they still do okay.
