Interpret Blood Results


latinalonestar

Recommended Posts

latinalonestar Newbie

I recently had an Anti-transglutamine test and the result was 25.33 Units. I've suffered intestinal issues as long as I can remember, sometimes worse than others. In the past I have experienced relief with a gluten-free diet but I never kept it up and always returned to eating gluten. Now I have these results and I'm not sure what the next step is. If it helps I can also put the results for some of the other common blood tests. These test were done in Brazil so some of the names might be in Portuguese, but their probably easily identifiable by the prefix.

Hemoglobin: 12.5

Hematocrit: 36%

VCM: 80.7

HCM: 28.0

CHCM: 34.7%

RDW: 12.6%

Leucocitos: 4.860

Linfocitos: 37% 1798

Bastonetes: 0% 0

Segmentados: 50% 2430

Eosinofilos: 2% 97

Basofilos: 0% 0

Monocitos: 11% 534

My fasting glucose was 85

My 2 hour post-lunch glucose was 90

I am a 28 year old female.

Suggestions?

What is the reference range for your TTg test?

sb2178 Enthusiast

Yes, the reference ranges for all are helpful. Different labs can use slightly different tests.

You're not diabetic (glucose) and it looks like you are not anemic, but those reference ranges would be helpful to say for sure. Your red blood cells might be a bit small, which could indicate iron deficiency. If you have a ferritin measure, that's helpful for evaluating total body iron status. (You can be iron deficient prior to developing anemia.)

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you
