1st Lab Results -Mystery
I completed week 1 - and received my 1st lab results. I do not have a clue what they mean. There are only 3 items out of range - ALT 56 H, Platelet Count 136 Land Absolute Monocytes 148 L. WHen it was discovered that my levels were elevated during a routine exam my alt was 171 and AST 116. This test does not have AST - Is it called something else? Does a lower alt mean that it is working? Any explanation you can give will be appreciated. Thanks
It's definately a good sign. Looks like they dropped quite a bit, good job!
They only way to know if it is "working" is with a PCR DNA test that measures the viral load but any time your AST/ALT levels are heading towards normal, it's a good thing.
Hope you are feeling ok!

I can't find AST on this lab work. COuld it be called something else? Is AST the same as absolute monocytes?
