Hey!

Anyone know where I can get these tests done out here in Chicago? Like, do I need to hit up a specific hospital, or just go through my primary care doctor and have them send it off? And do I actually need an appointment for this stuff?

Medical microbiology & parasitology - stool test for H. pylori
Allergology and clinical immunology - tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies, tgA

Thanks!

wiredcanyon2 said:Honestly, the results look fine to me. A slightly lower hemoglobin and MCV could point toward microcytic anemia—which is super common for women due to periods—but I wouldn't sweat it. Iron is sitting right at the bottom edge of the range, and TIBC is at the top, which pretty much backs up what I'm saying. Doesn't seem related to the NHL stuff. Did you guys get the LDH and beta2-microglobulin checked? Cheers.

Nah, I just had this done a few days ago at the local clinic and everything looks normal.

(S) lactate dehydrogenase : 217 U/L reference interval: (S) C reactive protein : 0.4 mg/L reference interval 0.0 - 5.0

Thanks for the info above. I was getting a bit worked up because I'm trying to bounce back from an eating disorder, so I figured I probably had "some kind of" anemia. But really, I'm just asking for my mom's sake because she loses it whenever she sees the letter L.🙂

Before I head in for my follow-up, I could use some input here.🙂

Just got my bloodwork back from the clinic at Petrov

(S) lactate dehydrogenase : 217 U/L ref interval: (S) C reactive protein : 0.4 mg/L ref interval 0.0 - 5.0

- age - twenties
- reason for testing (symptoms) - routine follow-up for Non-Hodgkin
- brief medical history - prior Non-Hodgkin, currently dealing with eating issues and hypoglycemia

Everything looks fine to me, but this 0.4—even though it's within range—has me wondering what it actually signifies.

Thanks in advance.
