Accepted Answer

: GFR  can vary with changes in your fluid status. GFR decrease  is usually seen in decline in kidney function but yours increased indicating no trend towards declining kidney function. I don't know what test is BFF.

Question 2

what is value of pistachios?

Accepted Answer

Lots: Beyond bankroll value  :-)  -- pistachios have a lot of fiber, protein, phytosterols (that may help heart disease), healthy monounsaturated fats, and more antioxidants than pomegranate juice, garlic, and blueberries.  They also have more lutein -- an antioxidant that can shield eye health -- in them than any other nut.  Good supply of b6 -- anti-stress.  In moderation, sounds like a nice snack.

Question 3

my b12 is 250 and fettian is 15. are these values ok?

Accepted Answer

Both at the low end: Both values are at the low end of normal. It would be good for you to take oral iron supplements with meals. Try B12 and a multivitamin. If B12 levels do not improve, you may need injections of B12 every one to three months.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Spiritual health: The belief in, and engagement with, something meaningful to us and greater than we are, has complex and positive effects on our physical, emotional, and mental health.

Question 7

what is the value of the family meal?

Accepted Answer

Huge: The family meal has been shown to have huge benefits in a number of ways. It allows the family to slow down, decreases stress, and open communication channels. It gives the children a sense of unity and solidarity, helping with social development and confidence. Plus the family dinner is much more nutritious than most "grab and go" type meals, helping with weight and obesity.

Question 8

my esr values are 50. any suggestions? ?

Accepted Answer

Means nothing alone: The ESR is often done wrong anyway -- our lab once had all-high sed rates because of a jackhammer operator across the street -- and in the absence of symptoms / signs of possible undiagnosed disease is of no value. The same is true of most other labs. If your physicain is not worried, you shouldn't be either.

Question 9

129 value mg. is that over the legal limit?

Accepted Answer

Legal limit for what: We need more info. Better yet, you can get that info by reading test result which should include normal reference range. If your 129 is higher than "normal", then you're most likely over legal limit for whatever it is you were tested. Best answer is to ask physician who ordered test or gave you results.
