Question 1

leu trace..what is that mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Urine dipstick will indicate presence of white blood cells (leukocytes) as trace amount (TR) or higher amounts (1+,2+,3+,4+). Larger amounts suggest inflammation.

Question 4

what happens if i'm allergic to milk, should i avoid foods with labels that say "may contain traces of milk"?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are only mildly allergic to milk, you may be able to get away with traces of it. If you are moderately to highly allergic, avoidance is the key. Do note that more than 1/2 of the milk-allergic people can tolerate milk which has been cooked or baked. If you are one of these people, then regular intake of cooked milk product may potentially make you tolerant to the raw product later.

Question 5

how far back should i trace my families medical history to know if i'm predisposed to common hereditary disorders?

Accepted Answer

Immediate family: Autosomal dominants (polycystic kidneys, lynch's, brca, some of the other tumor syndromes) affect mom or dad; if an uncle / aunt or grandparent has something suggestive, maybe you have it -- and an extra screening need. If a sib has an autosomal recessive / x-linked problem, you probably already know about you. Beyond this -- stop obsessing. You've got your genes already. Live your life. Cheers.

hgb ur  ql trace-intact mean?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Hi. Either you&#x27;re having intravascular hemolysis and hemoglobin&#x27;s coming out in the urine, or there are red cells in the urine that measure as urinary hemoglobin. I&#x27;d recommend a urine analysis with microscopic evaluation to see if it&#x27;s reproducible. If no RBCs in urine, Check serum free hemoglobin and haptoglobin, and have a pathologist look at a peripheral blood smear. Good luck!
