Any Doctors or people good at reading blood test results?

[Wherecanigetsomeenergyfromplease]

Had blood tests, my follow up appointment isn’t until mid November, tried Googling, can anyone help at all? Testing due to constant kidney stones and tiredness

Here:

Anyone?

Please don't take medical advice from strangers on the internet. You have no idea of anyone's qualifications or motivations for posting. I could tell you I'm a doctor and make up any old rubbish about your results.

You're best waiting for your doctor's appointment, even though it's a way off, or contacting a private GP.

Surely if the blood test showed anything seriously amiss your GP would call you and tell you? In my experience, they only leave you waiting to the follow up appointment if the blood tests haven’t flagged anything needing immediate treatment.

@Katrinawaves I got these done privately and am now waiting for the appointment, so they haven’t seen these

But the results will have gone directly to the medical professional who ordered them? If that was a private consultant, I’d likewise expect them to contact you before November to discuss if there was anything significant in them.

This! Just because I say I am a nurse, I could be making it up!
Blood tests are just one thing we look at, what is the trent, what other symptoms.
The only thing I would look at on there is your Egfr

@Katrinawaves No I went to the lab and paid myself after researching things I should be looking at

@widowtwankywashroom Do you mean that’s the only one that looks amiss? The others look low?
What would you think about the Egfr?

Those results are essentially uninterpretable presented like that. Best bet is to go back to whoever organised them and get their advice.

That’s a bit like blundering onto the street in Paris and asking for directions to a landmark using the only French you know! You can ask the question but there is no point in doing so as you will have no way of understanding the answer!

I’m surprised the lab accepted your request to be honest.

When you have a full blood count done, it comes back with a load of stuff I swear no-one ever looks at.

I swear nobody actually knows what stuff like 'average globular haemoglobin' or 'erythro dispersal index' even means.

Put it away, stop googling and if there was anything urgent your doctor would have contacted you.

Why did you want a blood test? Do you have symptoms?

Aaaaand this is exactly why you shouldn’t do that. You’re now left with a bunch of results you can’t interpret and you’re stressing out.

Not always and I get why the OP is asking
Nobody spotted my weird blood results over 8 years until I saw a locum who took every blood test and put it on a graph and then rang me at 7pm to tell me to go straight to hospital

@Katrinawaves Not in U.K., it’s very normal. I did it because I’m having to wait so long for an appointment. These would be the tests they’d order anyway, they’ll likely want more, but it’s a start

@Buggysleeper Of course. I have constant kidney stones, sickness, dizziness & so tired/lacking energy

@Greybeardy Why? It’s likely how I’ve written it, had to translate first

OP I couldn't see anything that jumps out on there. It's a snapshot of that day so things change over time
With neutrophils I can answer that one - I'm permanently neutropenic and they don't worry as long as mine is over 1.5. I've had bloods with anything from 0.3 - 24

@Shadypaws23 What is that sorry?
Do the kidney ones look ok? A pp mentioned the eGFR one?

Really appreciate the feedback 🙏sick of feeling so horrendous constantly

You should have corrected calcium and parathyroid hormone checked in case hyperparathyroidism is causing kidney stones https://www.uclahealth.org/news/hyperparathyroidism-can-cause-kidney-stones#:~:text=As%20blood%20serum%20levels%20of,stones%20you've%20been%20having.

I am a GP. I wouldn’t attempt to interpret these blood results without a) having assessed the patient b) knowing some of the other blood results which were hopefully done alongside these eg. Hb, calcium, sodium, potassium etc. None of them spring out at me as hugely worrying but the clinician who’s seen you needs to interpret them. And previous posters are quite right, you have no way of knowing what if any qualifications any of us have so please don’t rely on anything you read here (though having said that I don’t think you need to be too scared between now and when you can speak to your clinician).

hope it all improves soon.

@spuddel Thank you, yes my next step was the thyroid tests, I think I’ve had some in the past please that came out clear, but I think it’s 3 main tests I need to have? Is it TSH, freeT3 & free T4?
what is corrected calcium please?

@Sunandstorms Thank you, I haven’t had those other tests done, I just wanted to get the kidney tests done mainly to ease my anxiety about it whilst waiting. Im
constantly ill now with kidney stones, have a young child, am missing so much work, I can’t continue on like this, so tired and in pain, it’s no life
