Test Results!

Well, I got some blood results back today. There were pages and pages and pages of results! I  got my own print out to read through. The abnormal results were mainly markers for inflammation.


Abnormal results:
  • C-Reactive Protein (CRP) was up from 33 mg/L on 29/7/10 to 37 mg/L on 3/5/11
  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was 115 U/L (a normal result is described as being 20-105)
  • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) was moderately elevated (56 mm/hr) (Normal is less than 20).
  • Serum complement C3 was 2.72 g/L (normal is .79-1.77)
  • Serum compliment C4 was 0.48 g/L (normal is 0.16-0.38)
I have to wait until I see my specialist next month to get an interpretation of what these results really mean, but it seems like something is going on!
