Blood results: Should always be interpreted in a medical context that includes symptoms, previous similar labs, treated medical conditions in order to make them meaningful. Removing parts of the picture would create premises for mistakes in commenting on numbers alone. You definitely can have a second opinion with a specialist or on this platform providing you will be able to provide access to information.

You may: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if you are not satisfied with the explanation, it would be appropriate to see a different doctor. Wish you good health!
