I just had my blood test results as part of my self-imposed annual p.e. I only have a few questions before seeing a doctor.

 

1. regarding my lipid profile, my total cholesterol is 4.8 (normal values is bet. 3.8 - 6.2). everything else are normal except HDL ratio which is 7.5. normal values is below 4.0. what does this mean?

 

2. my blood glucose is within normal level at 5.8. (normal values is 4.2 - 6.4) but my creatinine is 162.66 (n.v. for M is 60 to 120) and my uric acid is 0.57 (n.v. for M is 0.20 - 0.41). what is the implication?

 

3. lastly my SGOT is 31.20 u/l (n.v. up to 33); my SGPT is 42.17 u/l (n.v. is up to 33).

 

Does it mean I have problems with my kidney? or my urine? what doctor specializes concerning the above? urologist or internist?

 

For those in the know, thanks for taking time to answer. appreciate it a lot.

hi doc;

 

had sex with a whore just recently, of course i used a cd but after ejaculating i noticed that the cd broke, so, it was like having unsafe sex.

 

it's been four days now and am terrified of the consequences, i can take the ordinary infection which is easily curable, my worry is hiv/aids. my questions are, when should i have the check up? what are the chances of contracting hiv/aids?

 

thanks heaps!

Wizard23,

1. HDL is good cholesterol, this is better news

 

2. Creatinine is an indicator of your kidney function. However, certain conditions may cause it to be increased such as a state of dehydration. Although I would still be concerned, I would prefer to have it repeated.

 

3. Eat less shellfish, fats, beans, nuts, and easy on the alcohol as they increase your uric acid level

 

4. SGPT connotes a function of your liver, although elevated, I would just observe it.

 

Nowadays we dont use the term "Normal" Value anymore as normal is relative. It is more apt to call these as "Reference Values". The deviation from the usual values are just above borderline and I am not exstatic to do further investigation. Eating the right foods will improve your values.

 

As far as to which doctor you would consult with, I prefer you go to an internist as internal medicine is a subspecialty of its own. I am not a fan of compartmentalized medicine where one doctor just sees his specialty and not mind the other problems. For example, a nephrologist might tend to overlook some problems in the liver as he is more focused on the kidneys. An internist will synthesize all problems and treat you accordingly, taking into consideration your other problems. It comes out cheaper too as you only pay one doctor. They might just refer you to a sub-specialist if needed.

makikitanung lang po ako, me narinig ako me iniinject lang sa iyo para malalaman me tama ka sa baga, kung meron, san po me ganito, san pong hospital at magkanu ba magagastos?

 

salamat po>>

 

Mukhang yung tinutukoy mo ay yung PPD or tuberculin test. Actually, ginagawa ito para malaman kung naka-develop ng immune response ang katawan mo sa bacteria na sanhi ng TB. Kung positive ka dito, maaring may exposure ka sa TB or nagkaroon ka/meron kang TB. Di ito masyadong magandang basehan kung may TB ka o wala dahil kahit exposure lang, positive ka na agad. Para sa akin, mas maganda pa rin ang magpa-xray at magpa-examine ng plema.

katulad ng sinabi ni mwah, mas maganda nga magpa-xray at examine ng plema. pag positive ka, punta ka sa mga DOTS center for FREE anti-TB medicine. Un nga lang, araw-araw ka pupunta para makainom ng gamot for 6 months.

kahit saan hospital or medical clinic w/ diagnostic laboratory puede, walk-in ka lang and inquire ka about their physical check-up. Puede ka din consult sa doctor (Internist) para ma-guide ka kung ano ang mga dapat na test.

there's blood whenever you cough hard ? then don't cough too hard (seriously speaking). when you force it, some blood vessels may break resulting in blood streaked sputum. have a CXR and consult an Internist or pulmo specialist. Very hard to make a diagnosis without examining the patient.

nasobrahan ata ? nagasgas lang siguro. try using lubricants to avoid abrasions around the vaginal area.

Sometimes, the vaginal wall experiences dryness by too much washing. Washing need not be vigorous as it removes the natural lubrication of the walls. Tell your girlfriend not to let guilt override what nature has provided in terms of vaginal health. He he

good day...in addition to what sir otitis and easyhard stated..maybe its also worth noting if your lady is having good lubrication during coitus or sexual act...there are times when they dry up a bit without you knowing..which may cause minute abrasion that may be missed on physical examination...if youre using condoms it may also cause friction to build up esp when she dries up a bit.. if your lady is on the pill it may also cause some kind of dryness...a water-based lubricant will be helpful in these scenarios...maybe it would be also helpful to note on how she washes her vagina or what kind of vaginal wash she uses...some may be unnoticeably irritating to her...and also you should also watch for any secondary infections that may happen if ever abrasions are present..hth

yep i agree on sir otitis...its better to have a consult for evaluation...the physical exam will be very helpful with confirmation of ancillary procedures...it wont cost that much too... lets just hope that everything will turn out great...

I would agree with the suggestions of sirs otitismedia, easyhard and xwhiteshadowz. That kind of irritation is usually brought about by inadequate lubrication, especially when you use condoms during contact (think friction and rubber in contact with raw sensitive skin). Aside from using applied lubricants during contact, I'd like to suggest Vitamin E supplements for your GF (around 600 - 800 iu daily). Studies regarding vitamin E and vaginal lubrication have been very promising.
