Can you tell if my cholesterol is good, not good or ok!

Huge thanks to anyone clever and brave enough to have a look

If you had not fasted the test would of been invalid as it is a fasting test

[Helenback in reply to helen0701]

Yes that's what I thought, yet the lady taking blood said it was not, and I felt a bit daft as I had to ask the GP if I needed to fast and she said if you want to it is better ??????????? Does anyone know their job?

[Marz]

Cholesterol is fine..... couldn't see B12 - Iron - Folate - Ferritin. VitD VERY low so hopefully your dose prescribed by your Doc will help. Hopefully he has prescribed D3 and NOT D2... VitD is fat soluble - so eat something fatty with the pill - maybe some Greek yogurt ?

Am sure someone else will be along later with more knowledge about the other tests....

[Helenback in reply to Marz]

Oh yes you are right and yet I am sure it was on the form to test for those, thanks for advice on eating with Vit D and yes it is Vit D 3 she has prescribed Thank you Marz!

[Helenback]

Sorry to ask but what is ALT? Is it it pointless telling me

[Hidden in reply to Helenback]

The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test measures the amount of the enzyme in the blood. ALT is found mainly in the liver, but also in smaller amounts in the kidneys , heart, muscles, and pancreas .

When I had my bloods taken for my private blood tests on Monday, I asked the phlebotomist if it should/could be stored in the fridge before I took it to the post office: "I don't know" was the answer

[Helenback in reply to Hidden]

Ah right ok thank you Hypnoteq! LOL where do these people learn their job, ladybird books?

[Hidden in reply to Helenback]

[sheenah]

Lady Bird books would probably be more informative - or even "I Spy" books might help them to see more!! XX
