One of the test that Dr. G - enter a strange India indian name here, ran last week was a cholesterol check.
I told Hubby, his cholesterol would be AWFUL. The man eats CRAP! He is a carboholic. If we go to a buffet where he can choose his own food, he comes back with a plate of mash potatoes, stuffing and corn and a couple of rolls. All piled together. No! I am NOT kidding.
The test are in.
His Cholesterol is awesome. His tests for all the "cholestrol things" were very low. I don't get it. Of course, he had to rub it in and ask for each reading individually.
BUT!
The tests also revealed a problem with his liver enzymes. They were WAY HIGH. So today he went back for more blood work and an abdominal cat scan. He was so thrilled to have to get up at 6am to drink this 16 oz bottle of chalky stuff and then a 16oz water chaser. Only to find out that he had to drink ANOTHER one when he got in for the scan. So now we wait for the results.
Possiblities:
enflamed liver
fatty liver
cirrhosiss of the liver
hepitiis A B or C
or a few other unknown causes
It is a process of elimination really.
Hubby was a BIG drinker and partier in his early years, but it has been 10 years since he gave up that "wild" lifestyle. Other than being overweight, he is actually very healthy. We hope the "extra" test, show that to be a fact.
Good!! I'm glad his test came back good, and I hope his others come out swell.
Keeping my fingers crossed about the other tests. The cholesterol though? Awesome!
