Is there anyone here that can help me interpret lab results?
 

Just got an email stating my lab results from about 4 days ago are avaliable to view.

I have some questions in regards to what the values mean, and have had very little luck finding information that I'm able to decipher online. And of course my doctors office is closed on Sunday.

Anyone with some medical knowledge able to help me out?

Congratulations!

It says you gonna die! Eventually

Those results indicate you were infected from running into that AIDS tree.

Sorry, pal.

Call your Doctors office tomorrow........just a crazy thought.

Bwaaaaaa!ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

I'm going to do that. I'm just anxious about the results and would like to find some answers ASAP. It's an anxiety thing.:huh:

My guess is if there was something obviously wrong with the results it would have had an accompanying letter or even a phone call.

Don't sweat it and fly out to see eDave and drink 3 bottles of scotch

Assuming you're talking about blood tests, the lab typically also provides the max/min levels for each result, Mr. TLO. Unless you're a vampire, these ranges should appear on the list.

If they don't (and you are not, in fact, a vampire), each result range can be found online. In cases like these, a good stress reliever is duckduckgo.

I got my results in a lab report too. I had to do a lot of internet search what it was telling me. I then was able to have an educated conversation with my Primary Doctor and the Specialist who ordered the lab.

Lab results: "We regret to inform you that your crabs have herpes."

You know, I want to comment on this.

Im not exactly sure how the medical system works in the U.S. with respect to results. I know in Canada, if the results are good they don’t call you. Its this whole concept of “no news is good news” bullshit. I never agreed with that approach.

What if the results are lost or misplaced? What if there is a false alarm or misdiagnosis? For those reasons; I take my own initiative to find out what exactly what is going on regardless if the results are good or bad. And its always wise to get a second opinion. The medical system is flawed and lots of doctors screw up. As a patient, I try to compensate as much as possible.

And it may work differently with different medical organizations in the US but for me and my family if there has ever been a test that required a follow up it came with an accompanying letter of what needed to be addressed.

Prayers sent

It was a urine test, and there appear to be no assigned values

What FAX said, plus bricks. If there was anything major wrong, they probably would have called you to schedule more tests.

What Fax said.

On a side note my niece got lab results and even consulted a doctor after and the results stated she had something really bad wrong with her kidneys and basically she either needed an immediate transplant or she was going to die soon. She lost all hope for life and decided to not go through dialisis and all that shit and prepared herself.

3 months later she was still fine. Come to find out her labs got switched with another lady who died from kidney failure. Talk about a major **** up.

Are you dealing with a kidney stone?

So what does it say? We have advice ready and waiting.

if it's an STD test it would be obvious if you had something

you should see a bunch of "negative" on there if you're clean

anything that says "positive" and you're an AIDS-ridden manslut

Kate Beckinsale’s lab results are perfect.

The stress of the OP might be because of a job requirement. In that case, https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323378.php

Sorry, the tests show, you've been dead for 6 months. Get well soon

Sorry.... it's Space Herpes.

Send it my way, I will help if I can

It was a once a year toxicology test - the results showed I tested positive for benzodiazepines (because I take 1.5mg of klonipin daily)

The part that confused me was below that, it said this

Aminoclonazepam 466 H
25 ng/mL

I don't know what the range for Aminoclonazepam is supposed to be, and can't find any information on it anywhere.

Aminoclonazepam is the benzo you tested positive for, it is a metabolite of Klonopin. The threshold for positive was 25 ng/ml, you tested high at 466

Generally when someone tests positive for a benzo they do a confirmation with various metabolites to determine which benzo is responsible for the positive screen.
This merely states your urine was positive for Klonopin

It is just a metabolite of the klonpin. Basically just one of the markers used in a toxicology test to determine use of benzodiazepines.

So the 466 is nothing to be concerned about?

Anything over 25 would be a positive, so the 466 means little. This is consistent with someone taking Klonopin. The actual concentration is rarely useful in the interpretation of a urine drug screen.

As long as you reported your Klonopin I don't see why this would be an issue.

As long as you have a script for it and notified them of your use you should be good.

How much klonopin are you taking daily?

Replied, but they already answered for you.

He says in his post. 1.5 mg

Just to be clear - I am prescribed the klonipin by my psych doctor, (she ordered the tox screen). I take it as prescribed. I take one once a year just to ensure I'm not taking any other controlled substances.

My main concern was seeing that large number that said it was high. I questioned if maybe my body wasn't disposing of the Mexica medicine properly.

Thank you for the helpful answers. You've put my mind at ease!

stop having teh unproteted buttsecks......


you'll be fine.

you'll be fine.

Not a problem, if you had tested below 25, the doctor would have been concerned that you are not taking the medication at all, which is suspicious for diverting your medication

Our US doctors don't make mistakes. :)
