I did lab work for 12 different things about a week ago. I called today to get the results and heard "normal" on all but 4 lab tests; my thyroid test, Liver function test, Kidney function test, and the fasting blood sugar level test. I was told "call your doctor" on the recording for those results. I have a message in to the doc. but I am curious and hoping someone else can tell me....Should I be worrying? Is that normal to have to call the doctor? Thanks for the answers!

I believe if it was anything major you would have recieved a call right away. Wait for the doctor to call you back and if there is something wrong then do what you have to to get better. Hang in there!

The chances of a completely healthy person having twelve tests done and having the results all within the lab's statistically normal range are actually pretty small. People think of lab tests and x-rays as yes/no things, but they aren't. They require interpretation. It's a good bet there's nothing wrong with you that you didn't already know about. Chill out and wait for a discussion with your doctor.

Call your doctor. Just because they don't fit the "normal" range means it's anything severe or extremely worrisome. But you need to find out what it is and work with it - so don't delay - call your doctor as soon as possible. You are in charge of your body, if you treat it well, you should live a nice healthy life. The point of a lot of these tests is to catch something that's not quite right in the early stages.

I on no account rather heard a good variety expenditures between sixty 5 -ninety 9. Your glucose is the sugar on your physique. i replaced into taught at school (medic college) the conventional ranges are between eighty-a hundred and twenty. yet to no longer in all hazard evaluate it an emergency till it replaced into under 70 or above 2 hundred. Yours replaced into 102 that's fairly good. Are you a diabetic or being examined for diabetes? different clever they in all hazard examined your glucose point as a precautionary.
