Liver pain, elevated liver enzymes and ultrasound
Hello everyone. My boyfriend has been complaining of pain under his lower right rib. Pain was not severe just on and off. He got his blood test done and results showed elevated liver enzymes. He was booked for an ultrasound. We are waiting for the results but really scared. He is 39 and healthy overall

bloods walloped by severe gastrointestinal infection, anyone?
Hi lovelies, I was hospitalised for severe infection last week, which with antibiotics is now better. But my white blood cell count has plummeted to the point hospital has put me under lockdown, and went even lower after 3 filgrastim injections although haematology say sometimes their effect is delayed

Low serum folate = folic acid supplement?
Hello, My youngest daughter (she's 21) has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She's been started on 50 mg Levothyroxine Her other low result was: Serum folate 2.2 (2.8-20 ug/L) For this she's been prescribed folic acid - 5mg daily I'm a little surprised that it's folic acid especially after

High Bilirubin, Not Gilbert's
In August 2021, aged 36, I started panicking about this and went through a series of LFTs and CBCs, all of which showed everything fine (apart from occasional, mild
anaemia
) and high bilirubin. The bilirubin level has wobbled between 17-47 umol/L (I think that's 0.99-2.75mg/dL on the US scale).

Medichecks ferritin range 30-650 ug/L
I have been having trouble for years with low ferritin, despite eating black pudding 3 times a week and taking ferrous fumarate. This last week got full thyroid blood tests back and thought ‘oh good , ferritin had gone up a bit to a decent 77’, but no, the range had been changed to a huge 30-650 ug/L

Iron Levels with CLL
Ive been having issues with low iron and as a result I'm on/off iron supplements. I also started taking acalabrutinib in May. I see a local doctor who didn't seem too concerned and I also see a doc in Cincinnati that says low iron is not normal with CLL/acalabrutinib, so he wants me to have an upper

Low Ferritin and iron supplements & Iron Panel interpretation
Further to my post of 24.10.22 Endo increased my Levo to 75 mcg daily and advised TSH to aim for 0.5-2.5, when I mentioned low ferritin she looked at the blood test and said everything is within range? Said my symptoms of brain fog, swimmy head, heaviness and tinitis are unlikely related to thyroid

Low B12 raised CRP - new to this
hi all. I was recently diagnosed with B12 deficiency (level of 67), and am about to have my last of 5 loading doses today. I can’t say I’ve felt too much of an improvement and still have brain fog, dizziness and tingling in my hands and feet amongst other things. Will this improve as the b12 gets to

parietal cell antibody lab results
I’m having trouble interpreting my lab results. My Parietal Cell Antibody IgG value is 33.2 units and it said the standard range is 0.0-24.9 units. So it’s above the standard range but not by much. Apparently above 25 units is positive so that means I’m positive? I just want to confirm.

Advice on iron test results please
Having had a history of low ferritin and been prescribed iron tablets, I thought I’d do a test to see if I actually needed them. Surprisingly, my ferritin level has improved but is still not optimal to support my thyroid. Should I take the iron supplements?
