So I was able to look at J's lab results,. This was the doctor notation:
WBC - 4.8 (3.4-10.8)
RBC - 4.44 (3.77-5.28)
HGB - 13.7 (11.1-15.9)
HCT- 43.4 (34.0- 46.6)
MCV- 98 (79-97) High
GLUCOSE(SERUM) - 115 (65-99) High
AST - 20 (0-40)
ALT - 10 (0-32)
TIBC - 359 (250-450)
UIBC - 189 (150-375)
IRON(SERUM) - 170 (35-155) High
IRON(SATURATION) - 47 (15-55)
B12 - 111 (211-946) Low
So a few questions, her glucose being high, could that be from eating or drinking before the test?
What would cause the iron serum to be high?
And why is with her HGB being where it is the nurse would say it wasn't significant anemia, looks normal to me. And that number was also C's exact number on his lab work with rheumy and she noted slight anemia, what is that all about?
So any thoughts?
Anyone one one throw out some ideas of what else could cause b12 deficiency?
If there are other results anyone's wants to know about just ask, I have them just didn't post them all. Thanks in advance guys.
Oh and this doc usually uses movieprep but I requested Miralax, right choice?
So I have a few pages of results but wanted to list the ones I see on here most often as well as the High and Low ones. So here goes:vitmain b12 def
supplement with weekly shots for 8 weeks then monthly (or nascobal)
