Question 1

i feel weak and no energy why even though i make cmp test shows everything is, normal its been a week no appetite no energy?

Accepted Answer

Wrong lab test: See a doctor to run thyroid labs for your symptoms as well as screens you for  depression and anxiety.  You also need a CBC to see if you have a low grade viral infection and a monospot.  Being tired, weak, not hungry and having apathy is usually  depression and anxiety with or without stress.  Your doctor needs to review this and get you started on a work out program to keep up your strength.

Question 2

will nicotine show up in a cbc with automated complete diff or a cmp 12 test?

Accepted Answer

No.: Nicotine metabolites must be specifically ordered.  There are indirect findings which are non-specific on the CBC such as an elevated hematacrit, but that would require corroboration and could also be caused by living at an elevated altitude.

Question 3

will nicotine show up in either a cbc with automated complete diff or a cmp 12 test?

Accepted Answer

Nicotine Testing: No. Blood tests are not generic nor do they test things that are not specifically requested.  CBC and metabolic panels do not test for drugs or alcohol or nicotine.

Question 4

does cbc, cmp blood panels show kidney and liver functions?

Accepted Answer

CMP: CMP or complete metabolic panel covers renal and hepatic function.

Question 5

would liver problems show on a cbc? i know lft/cmp is the standard just wondering if high mch and high mcv could be liver issues or is it another prob

Accepted Answer

Poor screen: High MCV is concerning specifically for heavy alcohol use, but a savvy physician will check for B12, folate, (folic acid) hypothyroidism, and hemolytic anemia (young red cells are big). If the metabolic profile and physical exam don't indicate liver troubles, probably this sturdiest of organs is okay. Remember that a few percent of healthy folks fall a bit outside of reference ranges.

Question 6

i have a constant rknee pain for a year and made mri it shows normal knee , diagnosed with cmp and take 4 months medication no help anti.inf.genuphil? what to do ?

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation : I do not understand your abbreviations but with a negative MRI you need a full evaluation including. A physical therapy evaluation and a dedicated, long term exercise program.

Question 7

labs show slightly low mcv and elevated platelets. other results, cbc & cmp, are normal. what would this mean? i have mast cell activation syndrome.

Accepted Answer

Iron deficiency: 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, iron deficiency can explain both low MCV and high platelet count. You may take oral iron and multivitamins and discuss the matter with your doctor.

Question 8

i have to have some blood work done today.  i had a cigarette this morning. will nicotine show up in a cbc with automated complete diff or a cmp 12?

Accepted Answer

No: One cigarette will not materially affect the results of CBC and cmp. However, smoking, as you know, is not good for your health and you should quit asap.

Question 9

thought lower back pain was kidney related had cmp blood test done came back normal. could it still be kidneys causing this pain & not show up test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A kidney stone will not cause CMP results to be abnormal. A kidney infection also may not show up in CMP.
For 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. 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. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 10

will cmp, ggt, cbc w/plat auto diff show cannabis use in urine or blood?

Accepted Answer

Nope: Not directly, no ... But that's not a reason to avoid the discussion with your doctor about drug use.  It's important that you give your physician all of the facts ... So that we all can help you in the best way possible.  Hope that helps!
