What Does Report Was 3.6 Indicate?
I am a 56yo female and I just got my Lab Report back: my WBC is 3.6 = Low, my Hemoglobin is 11.4 = Low, my Hemoglobin A1C is 5.9 = High , my Hematrocrit is 35.4 = Low, my Glucose is 123 = High, my Alkaline Phosphatase is 36 = Low and lastly my Total Estrogen 96.2 (not range is identified on report). other then some of the test results being high or low, will you please explain what else do the results mean? For example my WBC being low, how can that effect my quality of life?

Hi,
There appears to be mild variations in various levels.
Amongst this, foremost important one is high glucose and hemoglobin A1C - It indicates impaired glucose tolerance moving on to frank diabetes mellitus. You need to get yourself a low carbohydrate diet along with weight reduction and moderate amount of exercise.
WBC is moderately low and so is hemoglobin. It could be possibly due to Vit B12 or folic acid deficiency and you can take supplements of Vit B12 and folic acid. It would improve, once deficiency is corrected.
Alkaline phosphatase, if it is increased needs to be worried. Estrogen levels upto 60 is usually normal. If associated obesity is present, it can increase.
More active life with low carbohydrates and proper nutrition is necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further query, happy to help again.
