Question 1

how often should blood work b done on female of 88? what tests should b included?

Accepted Answer

Aging ; Healthcare: It all depends on the diagnoses, the medications she is on and your family's choice around the healthcare she should receive.  Many families begin to withdraw things at the end of life or late in life such as blood draws, testing and examination.  There is really no right answer to this question.

Question 2

what happens if i just had 1 methol cigeratte, is it ok to go for a negative blood work test in 3 days?

Accepted Answer

What test?: It is unlikely that one cigarette three days earlier will affect any lab results. I would urge you to stay away from tobacco in any form.

Question 3

routine blood work: when the dr. signs off on normal test results, does that mean they looked them over and confirmed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: Life is not perfect, so occasionally a lab result can be overlooked. If a patient is worried about a lab result, she can make an appointment with her regular doctor or another doctor to go over the lab result and it's meaning.

Question 4

what does ldh mean on blood work test. what does it mean if its high its 1101.

Accepted Answer

High: It's high but out of context it has no meaning. It is not possible to say more without more info. Whoever ordered the test needs to talk to you and discuss its implications and what else needs to be done. Best to you.

Question 5

i have to get a blood test done for work will it show i  have smoked weed in the last 30 days?

Accepted Answer

Marijuana: Marijuana can easily still be positive for up to sixty or more days after your last use. Please be aware that the newer tests can easily detect any attempt to fake out the test.

Question 6

blood work done and i noticed my levels were high for certain tests. i see that it says moderate hemolysis present. meaning?

Accepted Answer

Need actual results: All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. Without the complete test report, history, physical examination etc, it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion.

Question 7

went to dr. for bp check and she did blood work and urine pt. it came back inconclusive? what could that possibly mean? i will be going for more test.

Accepted Answer

Dont be anxious: It should probably have been explained to you at the time. In future always insist on an explanation of things that you don't understand at the doctor's office. A good doc will always take the time to make things clear. 
Inconclusive; bad word.  if you are feeling well, probably means minor or borderline abnormalities that a repeat 
evaluation will sort out. 
Don't worry! Ask Questions!

Question 8

is it possible to get a negative ovulation test (otc) and still ovulate? i've never had a positive test (over multiple months). blood work is normal..

Accepted Answer

Try a new brand: If the blood work suggests ovulation, then the test strip should be positive for ovulation also.

Question 9

i'm a healthy person and all my blood work tests were normal except for this leukoctes-urine shows positive. i don't feel anything so what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: If you have no symptoms of urinary tract infection (pain on urinating, frequency, fever), &amp; the rest of the urine test is normal, it is probably from vaginal discharge or contamination from the vaginal area. Just observe for symptoms &amp; see your doctor if you have any.

Question 10

how do pregnancy tests work?

Accepted Answer

Measure hormones: Pregnancy tests measure the level of a hormone called human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hcg), which begins to be produced when the fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall.  This hormone can be measured in urine or in the blood.  The blood test is the more accurate of the two methods.
