Summary
Chiana’s bloodwork results indicate mostly normal health parameters. The main point of interest is a mild elevation in SDMA, which may suggest early kidney function changes, warranting follow-up testing. Her liver function, blood sugar, and electrolyte levels are stable, while her platelet count appears low but may be due to clumping rather than a true deficiency.
1. Kidney Function
-
SDMA: 15.7 µg/dL (Mild increase, normal <15.0)
Mildly elevated SDMA suggests potential early kidney changes; a follow-up in 2–4 weeks is recommended. - BUN & Creatinine: BUN at 28 mg/dL and creatinine at 1.2 mg/dL are within normal limits.
2. Liver Function
- ALT: 28 IU/L (Normal: 10–100), and Alkaline Phosphatase: 19 IU/L (Normal: 6–102), both within normal limits.
3. Blood Sugar & Electrolytes
- Glucose: 96 mg/dL, reflecting stable blood sugar levels.
- Electrolytes: Sodium (150 mEq/L), Potassium (4.7 mEq/L), and Chloride (116 mEq/L) are all balanced.
4. Blood Health
- White Blood Cells: 5.5 x 103/uL (Normal: 3.5–16.0), indicating no infection concerns.
- Platelets: 144 x 103/uL (Reference: 200–500); low but likely due to clumping.
- Eosinophils: Slightly elevated (10%), potentially indicating mild allergies or an immune response.
What It All Means
Chiana’s overall health is stable, with the primary focus on monitoring kidney function due to the mild SDMA elevation. A follow-up test is recommended to confirm trends.
