Blood Test results around the world


(bulkbiker) #1

Hi All
I’m currently working on a project that aims to get people from all around the world to share the benefits of low carb / keto etc on their health conditions.

I’m looking at trying to configure a database where people who want to can share their results.
Obviously across the world the “normal” tests will vary in what gets tested and what gets released to patients but I’m trying to find where the common ground is. Not an easy task I fear…

Anyway I have downloaded my own last results from Oct 2017 here in the UK (having some more in a couple of weeks) and wondered if someone from the US especially could take a look and compare what I have been given here and what you guys get over there.
If anyone else from any other country would be able to take a look as well that would be great.

I’m not sure if a spreadsheet or just a copy paste would be best so I’ll copy paste my stuff here but if anyone wants it in Excel then pop me a PM and I can send it out.

This is the stuff I got (my own results are here but I cant be bothered to remove them but if you see anything that’s concerning please let me know!) Obviously the units are all UK based.

Thanks in advance for any other data nerds who are willing to take a look.

Looking at it from an RN view, everything looks good. Your TSH is normal, but I would like to see what your T3 and T4 levels are in comparison. When the T3 and T4 are low that is indicative of possible Hyperthyroid, if the T3 and T4 are elevated, that would be indicative of Hypothyroid. Everything else is normal. Yes it seems backwards but that is how it works, elevated is hypo-, to low is hyper-

PS I do not mean you have to share your T3 and T4

That was all that you get over here … so I’m afraid I don’t have anything else to share although that wasn’t really the main thrust f the thread but many thanks for taking a look…much appreciated. See hat the next lot brings…

Your thyroid runs all of your hormones, so if it is not functioning properly, low=weight gain, cold, dry skin, fatigue; high=can not gain weight, high energy, bulging eyes, risk for thyroid storm. But I do see about the project… This is something I notice because the thyroid is directly linked to depression also. But I do have new lab results I can post and show how keto has helped me!

Don’t think I have any of those so guess mine’s working ok…

Hi! In Mexico a basic blood chemistry includes: glucose, urea, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, atherogenic index, triglycerides, total proteins, albumin, globulins, A / G ratio, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (TGO), alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), amylase, iron and calcium.

Other tests for thyroid function, Hgb A1c, electrolytes, etcetera are available as extras if the physician asks for them in the public health service or with an extra cost if ordered in a private lab.

Edited to add: In addition to a basic blood chemistry doctors usually order an hemogram and urine exam when doing a complete check up.

Here are the results of my blood tests. I believe I started my Keto journey on or around the end of December of 2014. There is a column for each of my blood draws. It’s a lot of data…

Much appreciated.

No problem, I hope more people from other countries help with the project.
