In preparation for my annual review later this week I've just had the results back from my latest blood series
TSH 1.8
HbA1c 7.7%
Creatinine 142
*Urea 7.5
*Sodium 138
*Potassium 4.4
eGFR 52
cholesterol 3.9
HDL 2.0
LDL 1.6
Total/HDL ratio 2.0
Triglyceride 0.7
Which I'm reasonably happy about, apart from HbA1c which I'm very disappointed with - membership of the 6% club is fast becoming a distant memory. eGFR is excellent given that it was only 40 last time.
I understand most of the information but my question is: I have no idea of "good" numbers for Urea, Sodium and Potassium, although roughly understand the function and purpose of each. Any takers?! :wink:
