Blood test results

[GnomeDePlume]

Hello,

On warfarin indefinitely for APLS/Hughes syndrome

I had some blood test results and I could do with some translation if anyone has the time please:

ALT = 81

LDL = 8

HBA1C = 51

My haematologist wrote to my GP to tell them they needed to see me. My GP promptly lost the letter and it was only found 3 weeks later when I chased. I now have a GP appointment in a couple of weeks' time. Do the above test results suggest that I should push to be seen sooner?

Hba1c is to-do with blood sugars as I have regular as I'm a diabetic I'm not sure about the other two tho sorry can't help any further..good luck xx

Me again just worked it out LDL is cholesterol anf ALT to do with liver...don't know what figures mean though a healtj professional would know.. good luck

I believe LDL is to do with cholesterol and ALT your liver

Thanks for that. Just a bit frustrated by my GP's lackadaisical attitude meaning that a letter from my consultant disappeared until I chased it.

I know it is frustrating, I would be, but GP's are under immense pressure currently and less clerical support about, I hope you can ring up and have a telephone appointment to discuss your results and have some reassurance, keep well. MaryF

In these days of technology information should be sent by computers.They are fault free thou.I remember when I was on methotrexate I had monthly blood tests and ALT normal rang was 7- 55 You can Google this to check.Some meds can affect the liver
