Lab Test
This morning, I took a blood chem exam with urinalysis under orders from my doctor. This is due to some health issues I have been experiencing lately. The tests include:
-complete blood count
-lipid profile
-BUN
-uric acid
-fasting blood sugar
-HbA1c (also for blood sugar, but its percentage over three months)
-and as previously mentioned, urinalysis.
Consultation with the doctor was made because of severe and persistent headache last Oct 2, which OTC pain relievers could not correct. Last Oct 7, I also observed spots of blood in the urine. And finally, the bowels were observed to be slow- to non-moving since Oct 9.
Personally, a visit to the ER and doctor is dreaded because of the high hospital and medical costs. But the pain was unbearable and has been lingering, so I was compelled to do so. The doctor advised me to undergo MRI and get the aformentioned lab work.
The latter showed good promise! This is roughly the same result as my last lab work in 2021 (sorry for taking so long, but I really dread costs). The results are shown below:
Even if one is not a medical professional, the results can be understood, at least on the surface level, due to the normal range expressed beside the figures in bold. Almost all are normal, and the two blood sugar results were still acceptable, according to my sister doctor.
Tomorrow I will have an MRI, and hopefully there will be no troubling results.
These encouraging signs make me glad to be alive!

STOPIt's good to know that your test results are mostly normal, that's already a big relief.
I hope that tomorrow's MRI also comes out well and they don't find anything worrying.
I understand how difficult it can be to deal with health issues and the costs that come with it, but it's important to take care of yourself.
I send you a lot of strength and encouragement.

Thank you!
Are you a diabetic already?
Most likely you are having a fatty liver also. Urine result is almost normal. None of the test could identify the cause of your intense headache!

@hafiz34 no I am not diabetic. Yes, the doctor did say there could be fatty liver syndrome, which he said we would need to take care of after the migraine has been resolved. Sadly yeah, none of the test results indicate anything regarding the headache!
