Some of my blood results

I have no idea if they are good, bad etc . I see my dr on the 22nd. Any help would be appreciated.

Some of my blood results are in.

Triglycerides 1.19

Cholesterol 4.53

HDL 1.18

Sodium 141

Potassium 4.6

Creatinine 66

eGFR 92

A1C still pending

You can look up the normal values of each of those items.

A lot of sites show in American values which is not the same measurement in Canada.

A simple blood test can reveal whether your triglycerides fall into a healthy range: Normal — Less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or less than 1.7 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) Borderline high — 150 to 199 mg/dL (1.8 to 2.2 mmol/L) High — 200 to 499 mg/dL (2.3 to 5.6 mmol)Sep 13, 2018

So your triglycerides are borderline high.

My triglyceride was 1.19 which is less than 1.7.

So when I get my (American) results it also shows the range and whether I am normal/high/low etc

Doesn't it show the normal range on the sheet?

Isn't there an international standard?

No, Canada and Europe use different measurements for many things.

Like I said much of it is American values and gobbledygook that makes no sense to me.

Beside your result, it will tell you if it is high... if it's high, it is usually printed in bold.

It doesn’t say anything . It was done by LifeLabs. Somethings that gives you normal values for like my upper numbers but not the cholesterol numbers.

I just read the results online nothing was bolded.

Then you should be fine. If you are concerned then call your doctor on Monday?

Is there any reason for worry?

If this doesn't apply, I think if you search under the specific test you should find your result.

Go to this. It will give you with all the info you need .

Maybe not. This is confusing. Our system is easier to read.

I have high cholesterol in my family, and no diabetes. I believe it is because it is genetic.

See American numbers are just unreable to me. The only thing that made any sense and that was the A1 C numbers.
