'Pending' blood test results


Ecoopes

Recommended Posts

Ecoopes Newbie

Hello,  I've been anxiously awaiting my celiac blood test results for over a week now.  I phoned the lab to try and see if there were any results in yet and all the lady could tell me was that there was an IGA-ttg result back in the range 0-4 but the results are still pending.  I see 0-4 is the normal range for that particular test so does anyone have any ideas why they might say the results are still pending??  Thank you.  Margaret

Welcome!  I am guessing that they are still running a few tests (perhaps an IGA deficiency test) or just have not formally finished the process (paperwork, quality checks, etc.).   It is hard to be patient!  Hang in there!  Let us know the outcome.  We are here to help.

Hi Margaret 

This may be no help at all but at my surgery a wait for up to three weeks is not unusual.  I live in the UK - not sure if this wait is because of a backload of cases or something to do with the actual test requiring more time than the average blood test.  I just mention this in case you're in the UK, too.

I wasn't bothered that my tests took so long because my doctor never told me she was testing me for celiac disease - it was done with a slew of other tests and was the last set of results to arrive.  

All the very best.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
