Posted on Sat, 3 Dec 2016

Question: How bad is the following lab readings: CO@ 13, glucose 452, creatinine 1.8, GFR 28, ALT 53 AST 84,chloride 101 and BUN 25

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Medical attention needed at the earliest

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. A blood glucose level of 452 is very high and needs to be aggressively managed with insulin or other suitable medications. A creatinine of 1.8 indicates a renal compromise. Details about the rest can be commented upon only after correlation with the clinical parameters and other investigation reports.

Urgent medical attention is advisable.

I need my other questions answered about chloride 101,gfr 28 alt 53 alk phoe 92

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (9 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Chloride levels do not usually matter.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Pardon me for not being able to respond faster. I have already answered in detail in the other thread that you initiated. The normal range of alkaline phosphatase is 44 to 147 IU/L and so yours is in the normal range. Chloride level is normal. GFR is low and is associated with the renal compromise.
