Hi all, i am a very tired and sick person and just was wanting to know something, i go again next week for a metabolic panel again because my alkaline was high by there hospital range. and i have looked at alot of ranges and they are so different. on my lab work paper alkaline ranges from 25 to 150 kl
and mine came back at 170.im a 39 year young lady. my ast was 36 and ranges there are 0 to 40 kl. but i have read so many places where they have different ranges whats up with that.
I go for colonoscopy aug 11 because of alot of problems in that area and have alot of pain in upper back under shoulder blade and front under breast. i dont have gall bladder no more . but on the ranges is it different because of area where you live or measurment.
the doc sounded worried about this, i got my cholseterol down but trigs are still up and hdl is 34 he says thats to low haha i asked why i cant fix all at same time it seems when i fix something , another thing goes wrong .
god bless all and thank you

It has to do with the way certain labs do their tests i think.thats why it is sooo helpful that on every lab sheet, they always have the normal ranges listed there.You would think that there would be just one set of guidelines you know?But i guess that would just make too much sense.Marcia
