Labs

Ok, should be studying for my test in two hours, but I just looked at my lab test results online. Unless I'm wrong- it looks very positive for Celiac. My IgA was in the normal range (proving I'm not IgA deficient), and my TTG was 58. Normal is 5-8 (yes, there's a dash there). So unless I'm an idiot and can't read lab tests, I am absolutely, positively Celiac.

Pretty unusual lab tests (the lady at the lab was a little confused by the order at first), but I should be used to reading labs by now, right? I did really well somehow on my big exam last week, which was a good portion on labs. We're all not really sure how we did as well as we did (sharp curve?), but I'm just happy for a good result after a strenuous test!

Now I'm off to study for the next one and hope that I can remember hematology lab tests... and diagnoses... and treatment regimens... wish me luck!
