: 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, unintended weight loss of 30 lb is serious and warrants an investigation. Consult a GI specialist. Wish you good health!
