I Did Several Blood And Urine Tests As Part Of
Question: I did several blood and urine tests as part of a check-up and the following results came back altered:
- urine pH of 7.5
- red cells (urine): 26.000/mL
- uric acid (serum): 8.0 mg/dL
- chloresterol: 200 mg/dL
- albumine (serum): 5.0 mg/dL
All other blood tests are ok (blood count, creatinine, urea, potassium, sodium, glycose, TGP,CPK, TGO, TSH,T4 and alkaline phosphatase)
Currently I am taking two 500 mg metformin/day and dixilant 60mg/day. I also take a multivitamin and 450 mg of vitamin C. Finally, because I gained some weight I started taking Lipo6 black once a day, chitosan 4x500 mg/day and faseolamine 4x 500 mg pills/day.
My most recent urine test was september last year and didn't indicate any issues. My uric acid levels have been slighty elevated (7.2-7.8 mg/dL) for the past few years
I was wondering what could be wrong specifically on the urine test results and the high serum albumine and if this could be related to the drugs I am taking.
