So, I went to the doc about 2 weeks ago for a complete workup.
Everything looked great or completely horrible.
My liver function tests came back with these results:
AST (SGOT) = 142
ALT (SGPT) = 216
The problem with these numbers, is that they are SUPER high. The normal range is between 0-40. What is going on.
Also, my Vitamin D is really low:
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy = 16.8
normal Vitamin D count is 32-100, just a tad low there, eh?
Recent studies consider the lower the limit of 32.0 to be a threshold for optimal health. Hollis BW. J Nutr. 2005 Feb;135(2):317-22
Hmmm, let's see what else.
Oh Yeah!
My C-Reactive Protein count is super HIGH!. Yippeeee!!!
C-Reactive Protein, Cardiac = 19.07
Normal levels are 0.0-3.0
There was a comment in my chart: Relative Risk for Future Cardiovascular Event
Oh great.
I 'feel fine', as usual. My numbers have never been off in the past with the whole lung issue thing. Just all of a sudden.
I am due for my annual lung checkup, but alas, I have yet to make that appointment. The trek to NYC is not something I look forward to. Especially since the appts generally run about 6 hrs for a complete workup and scans. I always end up in rush hour traffic. On the streets or on the subways, it's bad either way.
I go to see my GP about these blood test results that are wacky tomorrow afternoon. She is very concerned with the liver counts. Says she knows I get vitamin D, however, she doesn't want to add more just yet, b/c it's a fat soluble vitamin and can do harm, depending on what's wrong. So, one thing at a time.
She thinks, MAYBE, it's related to Gall Stones or something b/c the C-Reactive Protein means there's inflammation 'somewhere' in the body.
Alas, I shall share the results with the world again. I love being a medical mystery *sigh*.Labels: health, Vitamin D |
Glad you're seeing her tomorrow. Let me know what she says.
