Lemons2lemonade Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 What, if any abnormalities have been found in your blood tests. No matter how allegedly insignificant. No close calls. Specifically out of normal range. Mine have been: high albumin twice, low vitamin d, high hgb, high hct, low potassium reoccuring and before florinef, high mchc, high testosterone.

issie Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 High testerone in women can indicate polycystic ovary. That's the only one I know right off my head - it also shows an imbalance in the other sex hormones - estrogen and progesterone.I have a book with all the meanings but too late to look up right now.

Lemons2lemonade Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Issie, it was barely high once and is ok now, I also had my estradiol tested and it was ok. I actually have a friend with pcos, and we are much different. Also have had ultrasounds done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Okay, so if it's not broke don't fix it. Go with what's off right now. Glad that's not it, because if it were you'd have the chance of diabetes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine have been: high albumin twice, low vitamin d, high hgb, high hct, low potassium reoccuring and before florinef, high mchc, high testosterone.I have these exact same levels, especially the albumin levels. The only thing a doctor has told me is that I was dehydrated. Bologna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it without smoking or asthma! It doesn't cause me any problems that I know of.... I always just thought it was a little weird to have too much carbon dioxide in me!

kluesyk Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I also have high Co2 in my blood.... also slightly high urine PH.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenna Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 My son has little or no haptoglobin. I believe that this could be one of the causal factors of his POTS, because a haptoglobin deficiency can lead to a nitric oxide deficiency, but I'm having trouble finding a doctor to investigate this angle. I will not give up on this one, however!He also has high albumin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
