Sandra Brooks91 said:That's what the results show. I did notice the glucose went up, but since it's usually right in the middle range and my diet is fine, I don't think that's the cause... Plus, there wasn't any protein in my urine before.

The diet isn't great, and the lab work confirms it.
Please reach out to your doctor so they can refer you to a nephrologist. These results indicate inflammation that you shouldn't try to treat on your own, and those iron levels could also be linked to kidney issues.

Sandra Brooks91 said:F, 35

My cholesterol levels have been steadily climbing over the years...

Right now, I'm more concerned about my iron, ALP, and white blood cell count in my urine...
Symptoms: fatigue, low energy, feeling cold

Did you highlight these specific results, or is this how they appeared on your lab report?
Also, have you had protein in your urine for a while now? One more thing—you might want to adjust your diet, since your glucose levels are right on the edge.

Jason Ward69 said:Could someone please help me out? I need to understand what these lab orders mean: K-KKS, S-Creatinine, S-urea, S-glucose, S-GGT, and S-PSA. I've already had my PSA checked and everything looked fine.

You could just call them routine tests, especially if you've had your PSA checked before.

Betty Murphy50 said:Based on what you've shared, your mother is showing serious symptoms regardless of the blood work being relatively mild so far. Those slight deviations don't rule out an underlying serious condition or multiple issues, so she definitely needs more follow-up testing.

She went in for imaging, and they found inflammation in her first vertebrae (which explains the back and glute pain...).
The report lists the diagnosis as: Discopathia L5 S1
Spondylosis vert.lumb.
Treatment: NSAIDs, refer for physical therapy.

Is it possible that blood in the urine is linked specifically to that inflammation?

Blood in the urine isn't related to that specific diagnosis. You didn't mention how old she is, or if she’s had an ultrasound of her kidneys and bladder, or even how much blood and erythrocytes are in the urine? Depending on her age, we should first consider a urinary tract infection, bladder inflammation, or perhaps kidney stones/sand before thinking about anything more serious.
