Hi,
If there is anyone medical I’d really appreciate your expertise.
Daughter is 2 but was 22 months when the fbc was done. She’s fallen off her height growth curve slightly so her paed ordered a fbc for some answers.
The paed said she needed iron as she was ‘slightly’ low 106 ( normal is 113-141) her GP however said that’s not low, but it seems quite low to me (I’m non medical so I’ve got no clue how low is low and what is slightly low or severe etc)
Nothing else was mentioned by paed or GP.
We’ve had the paper copy through the mail now and we’ve seen her blood phosphate level is elevated too 1.61 (0.8- 1.5 being the normal range). I have no idea what blood phosphate means, should we be worried? Is it indicative of anything? Is she having too much of something in her diet we can scale back on?
Her creatinine was 37 (normal 18-46) so the higher end of normal? Again anything to worry about or not (My dad passed away due to kidney issues so im probably overly concerned about anything kidney related)
Could anyone shed some light?
Thanks for reading and any comments in advance 🥰
