I'm wondering if anyone else has chronic abnormalities in lab results. Britt's white cell differential count is always out of line with low lymphocytes and high monocytes and/or eosinophils. She is anemic with normal serum iron levels. Her acute phase reactants are out of line, as well. These would be ESR (Sed rate), C-reactive protein (CRP), pre-albumin, and ferritin. Also, her magnesium level is low and will not budge no matter how much we add to her TPN.

My white blood cell count is always elevated it seems. My ANA's are also, off. I have always been anemic. Because of my ANA's I am getting ready to see Rheumatology. The Boston team believe's this is an EXCELLENT idea. They were not sure when I posed the question, "Could the intermittent swelling associated with my Lymphangiomatosis be throwing off my ANA's" They said, they had never tested that but, thought it was an interesting concept to consider. I'll let you know what they find in Rheumatology.

Take Care!
