Leukocytes are more commonly referred to as white blood cells. A high level of white blood cells can mean there is some type of infection in your body that they are trying to eradicate, or in extremely high levels that last for a long time, it can mean leukemia. Hope this helps.

Blood glucose is measured in 2 different units, mmol/L and mg/dl. A reading taken in one unit will be very different if converted to the other. What was yours measured in? \nThe reading also differs greatly if it was taken before or after a mean. When was your reading taken?\n\nBlood glucose is considered high if \n- it is more than 8mmol/L or 145mg/dL if the reading was taken before a meal \nor\n- it is more than 10mmol/L or 180mg/dL if the reading was taken 2 hours after a meal\n\nIf your reading was in mg/dL...then it is actually very low. And if it is in mmol/dL that would be exceptionally high and you would be very sick by now. I suggest you get better clarification from the dr who took the blood glucose test for you.

Interpreting your lab results can be confusing.  Since there are multiple tests done in hematology, i'm not sure which ones you had done.  I'm assuming you had a CBC, white and red counts, hematocrit, cholesterol, etc.\n\nUsually there are two columns.  The left hand column is your result.  On the right is the data range.  If your results fall below or above the range, they should show as abnormal.  If they fall within the range, everything is normal.\n\nThere are several websites that can give you more detailed information about your tests, and what an abnormal result could mean.\n\nI'm including a very user-friendly link that can help you find the answers.\n\nHope this helps!

a chemical in your body if there is too much you can have serious problems. I once had a doctor OD me on 1 med and that combined with a drug interactions with other prescriptions I was taking raised my theophiline serum level to the point I almost died.

Do you mean you are Thalassemia?\nI think it's not important so much to increase your Hemoglobin or Hematocrit to normal level all the time. If you are in healthy condition and take care yourself as your doctor advice, it's OK. People with anemia or other hematologic diseases have thier own adaptation to diseases and standard blood value level. Hope you have good health : )

Just because your ALT or AST is elevated, it can be isolated from acute intake of alcohol or drug intake.  Before you get stressed out, repeat liver function testing and follow up for conditions listed above should be discussed with your doctor.

The doctor who ordered this blood test should be able to walk through this with you.  At the very least, there should be a nursing line that you can call and ask.  \n\nMost blood results I have received have shown right on the print out what is too low, too high, or within the normal range.  This is a good starting place, but anything abnormal should really be discussed with your healthcare practitioner.

It could be an indicator of an auto-immune problem, or it could be nothing. The test itself having high levels really doesn't tell anything by itself. You really need to discuss with your doctor if you have other symptoms, what they are, how severe they are, how frequent, what brings them on, and you would really benefit from keeping a journal of all that information, because sometimes there is so much you forget. Write down anything, sometimes things you think are no big deal can be relevant.If you had other tests taken, you should discuss those results as well. I have SLE (lupus) and I know from personal experience that it takes a lot of positive factors and time to determine a person even has an auto-immune problem. You are your own best advocate, so speak up for yourself. In the meantime, check out these websites, they may be able to help with information specific to the condition you are being checked for, support for you and your family, and possibly links to other sites that specialize in your particular problem. Good luck!

A blood test would be the first thing done to rule out cancer before doing further tests. It is not conclusive of cancer.  Many tests have skewed readings..They are "markers" i.e. indicators of cellular activity.  So, don't worry if one particular test is high.  That just means that further testing should be done.  But, by all means, do the testing.  Cancer is very curable in most cases if caught early.  Good luck!

Liver disease can cause high ALT, but taken together with a high alkaline phosphatase level, it is more likely a cholestatic cause, e.g., something common like gallstones can cause it too.  However, wait for the results of the tests before you jump to any conclusions.
