Liver Enzymes are sky high and so are red blood cells... I am guessing infection or iron overload. Your serum iron is in the high end so perhaps ferritin is elevated too. That would cause liver damage, other issues. Could also be raising your glucose.

This is a little personal, but are you still suffering from ammoreah? (sp?) That could lead to accumulation of iron in the tissues with a high red meat diet.

Everything else looks pretty good (from what I can see). Don't know why your LDL of 108 is flagged as high.. if anything your cholesterol could be higher... HDL looks decent at 51 but it could definitely be higher.

How are you feeling? What is your diet like? Still doing leangains?

yes, i havent had a period in 7 years... – Mallory Jan 18 2012 at 20:48
I would suggest getting Ferrtin, total iron saturation tests.... then based on the results lowering red meat/iron intake. – Bill Jan 18 2012 at 21:20
Do you have any puzzling symptoms? – Bill Jan 18 2012 at 21:21
yes i do lol. i eat a lot of red meat and seafood, eggs, avocados, vegetables all vary but mostly big frozen bags of geens. eat liver/heart/marrow. no leangains i only lift once a week, and once a week something 'intense' definitely not much working out. – Mallory Jan 18 2012 at 22:13

I share Bill's concerns about the iron, but it's really only slightly out of range and wouldn't really stand out except that you're a young female. If I recall, you did have a menstrual hiatus, so it'd likely be wise to give blood a couple times and then get a full iron panel.

Everything else seems fine, though TSH is a bit above 1.0. Do you think you get enough iodide and selenium?

according to cron i get plenty of selenium. and i eat seaweed few times a week. – Mallory Jan 18 2012 at 20:49
I am betting it's the iron driving up the TSH – Bill Jan 18 2012 at 21:18
how do i lower it? i think i might go give blood when i get off work lol – Mallory Jan 18 2012 at 22:11

any help n lowering liver enzymes??

I am betting their high cause of the Iron. Lowering iron via blood donations and diet will lower the liver enzymes over time. – Bill Jan 19 2012 at 2:45
NAC may help with the detox. – Bill Jan 19 2012 at 2:46
NAC???? detox... is that what happens after i give blood? – Mallory Jan 19 2012 at 14:56
