blood test results

[Suffererc]

blood test on Monday . These are some of the results

SCR 8.3 no further action required.

ESR 2 ditto above. Both outside references range

Platelet count 463 as above NFA

Basophil 0.17 NFA ORR

Can you tell me what they mean please

[PMRpro Ambassador]

I assume SCR is serum creatinine - a measure of renal function,

Platelets are a white blood cell that helps blood clot - I think that result is slightly outside the reference range but pred can raise them so expected, Basophils are involved in inflammation and pred decreases the numbers - also expected.

Without the lab's reference ranges, usually quoted in brackets after the result, or at least some units, it is difficult to say much more.
