Question 1

what does a non-reactive vdrl test result mean?

Accepted Answer

No Syphilis: The vdrl (venereal disease research laboratory) test is a test which screens for the presence of an infection with the organism that causes syphilis (t. Pallidum).  A non- reactive test means that no antibodies to t. Pallidum were detected.

Question 2

does an 8.3 hemoglobin a1c test result during pregnancy mean i am diabetic?

Accepted Answer

Yes: An 8.3% A1c gives you an average blood sugar of around 185 mmol/dl.  This is in the diabetes range, especially for a pregnant person.

Question 3

can thyroid disorder make me exosted during pregnancy. im 25 weeks and just got my test result tsh low 0.29and t4 13.1and t3 (liothyronine) 198 high.

Accepted Answer

Consider followup: Based on the results you reported, you are actually hyperthyroid. If you are on thyroid replacement, you are likely overreplaced. However, it may be limited to interpret the labs accurately if you are take Cytomel (liothyronine) or T3 preparations. Your exhaustion is unlikely to be related to your current thyroid levels. Hypothyroid may make someone fatigue but hyperthyroid state does not.

Question 4

invalid pregnancy test result. how come?

Accepted Answer

Invalid preg test?: Urine pregnancy tests can be "too early" to be valid.  You need to be at least 5 days past your expected period.  Urine also needs to be 1st of the morning (concentrated) to be valid.

Question 5

what causes different answers on a pregnancy test result?

Accepted Answer

Reading wrong : Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. User error is the most common cause of different results. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Question 6

how likely is it that my pregnancy test result was accurate?

Accepted Answer

Technique & timing: Pregnancy tests are accurate provide the test is done properly and at the right time. For optimum results you should wait 4-5 days after a missed period, use first morning urine and follow the instructions in the package carefully.

Question 7

what are the chances my pregnancy test result was inaccurate?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on how far along you are in pregnancy plus some tests have a higher false positive and negative rate.  But if you do a couple of positive tests then you are likely pregnant,

it is important to recognize that it takes a little while, usually 2 weeks, after conception before a urine pregnancy test is positive.

Question 8

what does it mean when a pregnancy test result appears right away?

Accepted Answer

Lots of HCG: A quicker response means a higher level of pregnancy hormone (hcg), which would be the case in an advanced pregnancy, multiple gestation (twins or more), or in a molar pregnancy (an abnormal condition).

Question 9

how long does it take til you get a accurate pregnancy test result?

Accepted Answer

Missed Period: It is accurate from the day you miss your period.

Question 10

does being on your period affect a pregnancy test result?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Because if you are on actual period then you are not pregnant.
