In order to interpret blood tests it is important to know the setting in which the blood was drawn. You should talk with the physician who ordered the testing to find the answers that you are asking. Good luck.

All laboratory/imaging 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.
