Q: my hep test was hbs ag negative, i did the anti hbs test, basic normal range for that test was <10, my result was <5, what does that mean?why its not 0.00

Precision: Many tests have less than perfect precision, especially at low levels. Less than 5 could be zero. In any case the result is negative.

Q: what is the normal ivs to lvpw ratio? 1.3 and under for normal?

IVS/LVPW ratio: The normal value for ivs/lvpw ratio should be between 1.0 and 1.2. A ratio of 1.3 is considered ash (asymmetric septal hypertrophy). The ratio that is seen with a significant shunt is 1.5.

Q: bun to creatnine ratio is 23:1 is it normal ?

Kidney function test: The ratio is acceptable provided that the bun &amp; creatinine are within normal ranges. Stay well hydrated and drink enough water. Best wishes.

Q: there is absence of chromosomal 15 in me.. is my offspring will be normal? if not then tell me thee abnormality ratio.. plz please

Confusing question: I find it hard to accept that you are without a chromosome 15 & functional. A balanced trans-location involving a 15 would be more likely. Absence of a 15 would likely be incompatible with life & reproduction while a balanced translocation might allow a pretty normal life. A geneticist can provide you with % risk when the actual defect is clarified. You may or may not be able to have kids.

Q: i m 23 yrs old, my bp is in range of 135-125/60-70.slightly higher systolic n lower dys.my activity level is just normal.gd body wt. ratio.any worries?

Looks good: Blood pressure readings can vary daily, also the proper equipment must be used. Systolic should be less than 140mmhg. Check family history for any high blood pressure or heart issues, watch diet, exercise.

Q: what are normal ratios for phosphorus and chloride?

Normal values: Chloride normal is 98 - 110. Potasium normal is 3.5 - 5.3 phosphate normal is 2.7 - 4.5 with children higher.

Question 1

albinum 5.1 globulin 1.9 ag ratio 2.7 . the report said 1.9 was low and the ag ratio was high. are these numbers concerning? all other blood work came back normal?

Accepted Answer

: It is difficult to interpret labs taken out of the context of the clinical situation-like what symptoms, if any, are you having? Having said that, these labs results are not concerning. The ratio is high because the globulin is slightly low but a mildly low globulin by itself is not a reason to be concerned. The trend would be informative, is it decreasing or increasing over time?

Question 2

my globulin is 1.4 with lab values at 1.5-4.5 it was 1.8 6 mths and 2.4 6 months prior. all other labs normal except the globulin and the ag ratio of 3.4 with a range of 1.2-2.2 i do have a history of fatty liver. could that be the cause?

Accepted Answer

: Globulin level is usually high with chronic liver condition, not low as your case. You have had progressive hypoglobulinemia in the last 6 months so your case is classified as secondary hypoglobulinemia. You should be worked-up for the cause of low globulin level if there are symptoms such as fever, weight loss, recurrent infection, etc.

Question 3

i am a hepb carrier. my liver panel is as follows: pt high 9.1(range 6.4-8.2), globulin high 4.9 (2.2-4.2), ag ratio low 0.9(1.0-2.5) and everything else is normal. do i need to worry?

Accepted Answer

See below: Low a/g ratio reflects liver disease. Elevated pt indicates blood takes longer time to clot; so u r at greater risk of prolonged bleeding or easy bruising. Doc handling your case may recommend vitamin k supplement or prescribe vitamin k to prevent bleeding from minor injuries.

Question 4

i hav pain n my heart, thighs muscle, chest i did test a.g ratio, creatine kinase, macroscopy-specificgravity wasn't normal which kind of doctor i refer?

Accepted Answer

Go see family doctor: Your family doctor is 1st person to see (i'm obviously biased) as it's her/his job to care for all of you. We're trained to handle majority of common problems & conditions but s/he can refer you to appropriate specialists if need be. Be sure to tell her/him everything you're taking eg herbs, dietary supplements, otc meds, prescription stuff, everything! bring in original bottles if possible.

Question 5

my hep test was hbs ag negative, i did the anti hbs test, basic normal range for that test was <10, my result was <5, what does that mean?why its not 0.00

Accepted Answer

Precision: Many tests have less than perfect precision, especially at low levels. Less than 5 could be zero. In any case the result is negative.

Question 6

Question 7
