Question 1

what does tc blood test mean ?

Accepted Answer

"Total Cholesterol": Medicine has many acronyms. This one is probably "total cholesterol" but could stand for other things.

Question 2

ck in my blood test -257u/l what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Context: Creatine kinase.  This is a bit higher than most folks but everything depends on what's happening with your life. If you exercise, this is likely to be normal. If you are having sudden chest pain, your physician may consider a heart attack & keep investigating. Or you may be a duchenne's carrier or have any of dozens of other explanations.

Question 3

need to know what a 71 on ck blood test means.

Accepted Answer

Creatinine Kinase: That means in your blood stream when they tested blood , at that point of time your creative kinase level was 71. 
Creatine kinase or creatine phosphokinase is an enzyme chiefly found in the brain, skeletal muscles, and heart.

Question 4

what does "above high normal" mean on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Numbers are numbers: Numbers are just numbers, so the significance of them must be looked at in the context of a patient&#x27;s real-life situation. From a purely numbers point of view, &quot;above high normal&quot; usually means that only ~3% of the NORMAL people in the community get that test result, and the other 97% of the NORMAL people in the community would get a lower result. Some people with a &quot;mildly high&quot; are not normal.

Question 5

what can a high (3%) atypical lymphs blood test mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing specific: By itself atypical lymph cells just suggest a recent or current viral infection. It may show up on random tests of healthy people. In the absence of information that would suggest otherwise it is just a variant of normal.

Question 6

had blood test it was out of range what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

It means you can...: Visit the doctor ordering the blood test to ask whether or not "out-of-range" is normal for you; and if not normal, what should be done about it. Out-of-range means a higher or lower number than 95% of a group of normal people's lab results. In other words, if you check 101 "normal people", about 95 will have results in-range, 3 will be lower than in-range, and 3 will be higher than in-range.

Question 7

what does high gra# and high gra% mean on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Granulocytes: Granulocytes are mostly neutrophils, the cells that are most lethal most quickly to bacteria. Ignore the percentages. Look to see if the absolute numbers # are high or low.  I can raise my granulocyte # to four times normal by spending twenty minutes in an icy-cold shower (i tried it); labs mean nothing apart from the clinical context. Good luck.

Question 8

what does the term "absolute nutes" mean on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Jargon: This likely refers to the absolute neutrophil count from a CBC (complete blood count).

Question 9

how will i know what does an inconclusive blood test mean?

Accepted Answer

What it says: "inconclusive" means that the test, whatever it was for, didn't show a definite positive result for a particular abnormality but didn't definitely rule it out either.  A better answer depends on knowing what the test was for; for example, an HIV test can be clearly positive (you have been exposed to the virus), clearly negative (no evidence of exposure) or be equivocal and need more tests.

Question 10

my blood test show my ers 30 l what's that mean? what i need to do?

Accepted Answer

Sed rate: If this is a type for esr, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, it means nothing apart from the clinical context.
