Dear Diary: The Results of My Laboratory Exams was Striking

I don't know what went unto me but I didn't take the chest x-ray the other day. Maybe because of the effort that I was about to do as my back and sidepains are kicking that day so I have to forgo with it and do it later.

The results of my laboratory exam is quite striking for me because I do not get to see my hemoglobin and hematocrit always normal like this but since I can feel it's effects, I am just thankful for God that somehow I do not have to worry about blood transfusions and expensive EPO injections. The white blood cell is normal and it means I have no infections within my body. Then also, the platelets is normal as well and no reason to get it low.

The blood chemistry shows that I have elevations on my phosphorus levels which kept me thinking how high it got when I am getting an itchy skin because it got so high on the previous years. There is the usual high creatinine and this one not so high enough for me to develop nausea and vomiting.

My blood urea nitrogen is also high but not high enough as well for symptoms to show and felt and the symptom for that is having a urea breath that haunted me for years thanks to the mediocre medical treatment that I've got years back. M blood uric acid is not elevated because I do not eat much food that will make it high tho, maybe it's time because I want a mungbean soup with smoked fish flakes.

The calcium level in y blood is lower and it is not good, it has been like that for years too. I am happy with my cholesterol level too, maybe eating pork ears will not kill me after all, bad for me. I expect my triglycerides to be high too because I eat sweets but it's normal.

My HDL is normal too, it is because the higher the better. The LDL is normal and I am so happy with these results really because I do not often take lab exams.

I expected my blood potassium levels to be so high because eat mash potatoes like a king, with a lot of gravy but it is only slightly elevated. Even the blood sodium levels is in the normal range and this is maybe because I am just a day old from being dialyzed when I took the exam.

Now, what strikes me the most is the SGPT-SGOT exam for the liver. It is an examination where we can see if the liver is spewing these kind metabolites and if it is high, then my liver is degrading but it is in the normal range despite that I am positive to have a Hepatitis B infection, the reason too why my kidney wasn't treated. So this is odd and it means I am just a carrier as the doctor told me way back.

I really can't make a good photo of this papers, I will just give it to my brother and have it scanned and have him email me the copy and give it to @luvabi and @girlbeforemirror and the others. God help me.
