blood work info

[number28]

hello hello,

i have 4 pages of results but not sure how to read it correctly. my doc wasnt concerned about anything but a little blood in urine.

here is just some of the test reults:

test name------------------result -----ref range

GLOBULIN, CALCULATED----2.9--------2.1-3.7

TESTOSTERONE , TOTAL-----703--------241-827

WBC-------------------------4.0--------3.8-10.8

RBC--------------------------4.98-------4.20-5.80

HEMOGLOBIN----------------15---------13.2-17.1

I got a shit load of other info but it doesnt say anything about my free testosterone level, is there a code for it on the test? also how do check my liver enzymes on the results?

thanks again!!!

Liver enzymes are listed under either SGPT and SGOT, or AST and ALT. Those mean the same thing, but different labs use different names.

SGPT = Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase = ALT = alanine aminotransferase
SGOT = Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase = AST = aspartate aminotransferase

Other tests that indicate liver function are bilirubin and GGT.

Free testosterone should be called just that. Some docs don't order it because not all doctors realize that it's more important than total testosterone.

got it!!!

it actually took me some cinvincing to get my doc to check my reg test levels...im 31 years old and hes been my family doc for years...mad ol'school. had to tell him that i felt slugish and lack of sex drive...shit like that..
should i call him and ask for a retest to check my free test info or would this be ok?
thanks again for your quick responce!!

i cant even find any of those enzyme codes either...damn it i think i might have to go to a different doctor and specify these tests...adviceable or not?

**Sctrach that last post*** i found ast and alt
ast----27---10-40(range)
alt----25---9-60 (range)
bilirubin, urine---NEGATIVE----NEGATIVE

hope this info helps.
as per the test page it states that its in normal range

Blood in urine can be induced by ovetraining.

That would make sence, but I don't feel as if I was pushing enough weight for that to be the reason. Doc asked me 2 get cat scan

What did he ask you?

[number28]

He asked me to get a cat scan of my kidneys. I will in jan once work slows down. I also quit smoking cigs so that might be a reason as well.
