Lab Results 1/16/2020

I believe the results are from blood drawn last Thursday. Drawing blood is easy for dialysis patients; there’s already easy access to blood through the dialysis machine.

Lab TestDesired RangeMy Value
Albumin3.5 – 5.04.3
Potassium3.5 – 5.54.8
Phosphorus3.5 – 5.54.2
Calcium8.5 – 10.28.7
Parathyroid Hormone200 – 600328.2
Hemoglobin A1C< 8.05.0

I think they test for a lot of other things but we don’t see most of it. The nutritionist said my Vitamin D is a bit low at 26.4 (normal is > 30) even though I’m taking a supplement each day. The also inject some other drugs (e.g., Epogen) directly into the dialysis machine but I’ve never seen a complete list.
