Question 1

what is the implication of 
normal c-anca and normal p-anca
but elevated atypical panca (1:60)?

Accepted Answer

How do you FEEL?: These labs are tricky to do. If you have symptoms or signs of small-vessel polyarteritis or Wegener's ("pathergic granulomatous angiitis"), this might be enough to warrant starting treatment -- if missed, they're lethal. If this is part of an ulcerative colitis or other workup, it's just data your physician will take into account. Has anything been biopsied yet?

Question 2

normal -actin antibody, p-anca, c-anca. elevated -atypical panca 1:160 ,alkaline phosphatase 129, c3(176) c4 (50)
what could cause these results?

Accepted Answer

Rheumatologist: These highly specialized lab values are often ordered when looking for certain autoimmune disorders. Most primary care physicians are not so familiar with these tests and I feel that a rheumatologist is best qualified to evaluate the specific patient,then order the appropriate tests and interpret them. In other words, the significance of your tests have to be interpreted considering your symptoms.

Question 3

positive panca test & filter with an high rates of beta 1 & 2, protein, creatinine, & uric acid, coupled with annormal rates of wbc & bacteria means?

Accepted Answer

Blood tests: There are a few diseases that leap out from blood tests.  Most of the time, however, blood tests don't tell the doctor much on their own.  These results fall into the second group.  None of these are very specific tests.  You will want to have your doctor review his/her thoughts on your tests for you.  Good health to you.

Question 4

i had my gallbladder removed a few moths ago could that be the reason, the doctor is not sure what to do my asca igg is  very high panca is normal calprotecting is normal, immunoglobulin a is high do i need a colonoscopy as i have diarrhea and abdominal f

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry: your doctor doesn't know what to do.  You've given little information, but if you have a  negative calprotectin, it's likely that you don't have inflammation in your intestines.  ASCA IgG is very non-specific, and serum IgA was probably checked to make sure your celiac panel was valid.  With a full history and more labs, it would be easier to figure you out.  Cholecystectomy may cause diarrhea.

Question 5

29yo female, chronic nausea and loose stool associated with anxiety. doctor suspected ibs, ordered colonoscopy and other tests. all came back normal (incl iga, igg, panca) except fecal calprotectin 1177. is ibd still possible/likely?

Accepted Answer

: Calprotectin level of 1,177 is not consistent with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). This high level is consistent with an infectious etiology or inflammation. Negative colonoscopy rules out ulcerative colitis, not crohn's disease which may not involve the colon yet. Besides seeing a GI doctor you may need to see an infectious disease specialist as well if your GI symptoms persist.

Question 6

what is a general health panel?

Accepted Answer

General lab: General health panel is a wide ranging blood "panel ' that covers many areas such as kidney, liver and mineral function This has been a general type of blood screening that will pick any number of illness that are manifest in the blood.

Question 7

how can i make my pannis bigger?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: A pannis is the abdominal fat pad hanging off the lower frontal abdominal skin. I am sure you mean penis. There is no such product or process to make a penis bigger.

Question 8

what do you think about panik attacs?

Accepted Answer

They are: very real, very uncomfortable, and difficult to deal with alone. Seek professional help if you suffer from panic attacks. Hope this helps!

Question 9

what does a general health panel tell?

Accepted Answer

General Health: I would think you are talking about the blood work obtained when you get a physical.  Is lets the doctor know if the body is functioning correctly, if you are anemic or have problems with your blood count, and it might include your lipids and sometimes a test for your thyroid.  You sugar will be tested and that checks for diabetes. The liver and kidneys are also checked.

Question 10

what does mean differential panel auto dif? thanks

Accepted Answer

Types of WBC's: The machine in the lab automatically counts the different types of white blood cells (wbc's), so the results are listed under auto diff.
