Help With Lab Results (Anemia And Metabolic Panels)

I received my youngest daughter's results from some bloodwork earlier this week. I'm trying to sort through what could be relavent to Celiac/Crohn's/other Inflammatory Bowel Disease vs what is something I should just bring up with my ped. I'm taking both girls to a pediatric GI next week, and I want to keep the appointments as focused as possible.

Her CBC was completely normal.

Anemia panel showed normal Serum iron, TIBC, UIBC, B12 and folate.

BUT

Iron Saturation 14% (L) (range 15-55)

Serum Ferritin 10 (L) (range 13-150)

The on the metabolic panel, most was normal, including BUN and creatinine

BUT

BUN/Creatinine ratio 55 (H) (range 8-27)

Serum Albumin 4.4 (H) (range 3.4 - 4.2)

Alkaline Phosphatase 444 (H) (range 100-400)

I've read references to dehydration for a couple of these. It is possible she asked me for water on the way there and I told her she needed to wait until we got there, and she didn't drink any prior to the blood draw. But she was certainly peeing enough - it's not like she only had two wet diapers that day or anything.

So is she anemic? If so what type of anemia? Do the other numbers mean anything for the GI or are they unrelated?

TIA.

You need to bring all these results to both your ped and GI doc. They will probably want to repeat the tests for starters.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
