Would imminent alcoholic liver failure show up in blood tests? I recently had a full series of blood tests including liver function tests, and all proved negative with 'callback' required with the doctor. If I had any serious or emerging liver problems caused by alcohol, would anything have shown up in these tests? I'm 56, used to definitely drink a bit too much, but now drink two or three bottles of real ale on four nights of the week...

Negative Tests Including Blood Test.? So i have taken a home pregnancy test:- "Negative" Went to the Doctors she said my story was very suspicious and that the dates and things sounded like i could well be. I took another pregnancy test there, and she said it was- "Negative" She then did a blood test for me so i didnt have to keep worrying and she could put my mind at rest quicker. She rang me and said that the test came back negative. I mean this is VERY good news for me, and im relieved. I just scared myself seeing the amount of girls stories on the internet about having negative tests, even blood tests. So my question is, how likely is it now that i am pregnant, like should i really still be worrying? I just want to go out and get drunk with my friends.

I was wonderin if i had 3 positive pregnancy tests and one of those tests include a blood test, am i pregnant?

preg. symptoms with neg. tests and neg. blood test. now a discharge. can I be?!? I've had 2 children already. I know people say every pregnancy is different. My last 2 I was able to tell with early home tests. My LMP was 7/20/10. I know I'm 2 days out. I feel wierd. throughout this last month I've felt tightening when I've gone on the eliptical which isn't normal. I've felt nausea sometimes, my hubby also noticed my boobs (areiola) getting bigger and "puffier", abdomen area is still sore (not cramping), my area down under has itched like crazy, a lot of fatigue, and not to sound gross but I've been gassy and constipated. Now for the last 2 days I've had a brownish discharge. My periods are pretty much to the month. 3-4 days before my period I have cramping and breast tenderness. Not this time. I've never had brown discharge with my periods let alone for two days. All tests, including a blood test (yesterday), have come back negative. So, if I'm not pregnant what else could it be? Or is it possible I might be?

I recently had Blood Tests done & I wonderd if any1 knew if 1 of the tests include being checkd 4 diabetes? By the way, This was just standard blood tests they send most people for x The doctor never told me exactly what they were testing for x

7 Positive Home Pregnancy Tests- Including one digital- NEG blood test? I really don't know what to think. I am over a week late for my period now, presuming Im on a 28-day cycle. I had taken 6 HPTs, which all came up Positive. I even did one with a friend so she could time the 3 minutes (in case I had waiting too long on the others) and resulted in another (faint) positive. I went to the doctor the next day to get a blood test- and that came back BORDERLINE. So I did another HPT that night, and this time DIGITAL- And the test read 'Pregnant 1-2 wks' (since conception). So I got another blood test 2 days later (from another doctor) and she said that was negative. She has sent away for quantitative tests this time, and I am awaiting the results. Has anyone had a negative blood test and actually been pregnant? Im only 26, I have had a miscarriage years before, but thought if this was going to be the same, or a 'chemical pregnancy' I would have had bleeding by now? I am dumbfounded! I cant understand this as I was never a believer of the false Positives. Are these HPTs better than we think they are, and maybe the labs have a minimum level to say you are positive for a blood test? Thank you in advance Ladies!

When you go to the doctor and get your blood drawn does the blood test include the colon? I know this may seem like a werid question but I'm wondering and curious. When you go for a check up and get your blood drawn to check the numbers of organs and such.. does it include the colon? Or do you have to get a colonoscopy done to see if it's healthy or not? Thanks for bearing with me with this crazy question! LOL

I have all these signs of pregnancy but 2 tests including one blood which show negative for pregnancy.? I sometimes get dizzy, I am exhausted all the time, there was the slight period with brown discharge, tender swollen breasts, bloating and weight gain, cramps. But I took the home pregancy test and even went to a lab to do the blood exam. Both came back negative. Please help.

was this too early to have gotten a blood pregnancy test? about 2.5 weeks after having protected sex (also on birth control), i had to get my monthly blood work done for Accutane, which includes a test for female pregnancy. the test came back negative, but i am always nervous that it could have just been too soon to tell. i'm not sure how early blood tests detect pregnancy accurately, but i know it's far sooner than home tests. if anyone has any idea, i would appreciate it so much.

No call, 3 days took a blood test for pregnancy, what does this mean? I got my blood test done on the Monday, they said it could take 2 days.

What are the chances of me being pregnant?

Is it normal for allergy tests to give different answers? Hi, At the age of 25, I think I am suddenly allergic to coconut. I'm basing this on an experience I had after eating a raw, baby coconut (that was the only thing I had to eat). My lips swelled, mouth tingled, and throat started to swell shut before I went to the ER - and there I sat in the waiting room for about 4hrs before just walking out. Previous to this, I had eaten other forms of coconut on many occasions. PROBLEM: I've had four allergy panels, two were skin prick tests and two were RAST blood tests. None of the tests come back remotely similar, although each of the skin tests come back positive to a bunch of foods and the RAST tests come back positive to just one or two. (All of the tests implicate a different food btw). Only two of the tests included coconut, but both came back negative. It's like the only thing the tests agree on. Should I trust these tests???? It is a major pain to carry an epipen around everywhere and be paranoid about eating in restraunts.

Cancer and blood tests...? If someone has cancer, will doctors be able to detect this based on blood tests? For instance, if one has early stages of lung cancer, would a routine blood test that includes red and white blood counts indicate this?

How long does THC stay in your system? And do standard blood tests even test for it? I was at a getaway with some friends earlier this month, and one of them offered to split his stash with us if we all chip in. We agreed and over the next 3 days we shared a total of 5-6 joints. Im about to have a medical exam before I start taking driving lessons and I believe that includes a blood test. So Im wondering how long will I have to wait for it to go out of my system? And will they even test for THC? By the way it was skunk cannabis if it makes a difference.

5 negative pregnancy tests, 1 negative blood test 4 days late still no period!? Hi there Me and my partner have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months now. I am usually 28 day cycle. I have been checking my cervix position and mucus for the past couple of months. My cervix is high and wet and has been for the past few days. I was due on Fri 15th March and it is Tues 18th now so I am 4 days late. I have done 5 tests including extra sensitive ones that you can do up to 7 days early and 2 clearblue ones, they all say negative. I had a blood test done at the hospital which came back today- negative. Should my cervix be high pointing downwards if I am going to come on? Or should it be low? I know it has only been 4 days but I am usually on time and we did have sex nearly every day last month. Also my nipples have a blue vein running through each one which I have never noticed before, could this be a sign of pregnancy? I just want to know the suspense is killing me! Anyone else in the same position or got any answers? Thanks xxx Hi thanks for the answers. I came on today, seems like a lot of us are in the same position. If theres one thing I've learnt Im gonna stop stressing about it next month. If it's gonna happen it will, no matter how high my cervix feels or if my boobs look different!! lol. So thanks again we'll see what happens next month but I promise I'll take no pregnancy tests until I'm at least 7 days late. Ive spent loads of money and pointless trips to the doctors for nothing. Not going to get disappointed though, going to concentrate on eating well and book a holiday. Thanks again xxxxx

Let's review the facts on the blood test (Mayweather-Pacquiao) issue shall we? Ok, as far as I know. The Pacquiao camp has agreed on three (3) blood tests. One on January before the press conference, one thirty (30) days prior to the fight, and one (1) immediately after the fight, in addition to giving as many pee samples as Floyd wants. But the Floyd camp wants a finite number of random blood tests during the entire training camp and a required blood test 48 hours before the fight night. Please correct my details if there is something wrong. If the details above are correct to some extent, can you not see that what Floyd is asking is too much and is extrmely unfair? Here are my points on why it is so. 1. Olympic-style drug testing (including the blood test) is not a standard practice in professional boxing. The Nevada State Athletic Commission is the one responsible in drug testing and Pacquiao passed this already 10 times. Pacquiao's camp agreeing to these DEMANDS from the Mayweather camp is already a sign of submission to the Mayweather's pre-fight tactics- isn't that enought handicap from the Pacquiao camp? 2. Pacquiao is a hard worker in the gym. He burns like 7000 calories per day training. Could you imagine what taking blood does to you when you train like that? You can't have blood continuously taken from you and not affect your extreme training routine (Follow-up point on item 5). 3. Blood taken from you 48 hours before the fight? Everyone knows this is too much. It takes 3 to 4 days to a week before a person recovers completely after being drawn of blood (depending on the amount taken). A normal person might not feel this weakening, but elite athletes who needs to be perfectly conditioned definitely will be affected significantly. 4. The Mayweather camp did good research. They knew Pacquiao is superstitious about what blood being taken from him a few days before a fight could do. This is with regards to Pacquiao's psychology and most probably may not really have actually physical effects. Everybody knows how important is mental conditioning in the fight, and seems Pacquiao is always 100% mentally prepared for a fight, the Mayweather camp has found a good trick to make Pacquiao mentally awkward. A dirty, but effective trick. 5. Pacquiao is an intensity fighter. His style includes constant pressure and aggression. Even if both Floyd and Manny comes in weak because of the blood drawn out, only Manny would be greatly affected. Mayweather has always been known to be relaxed in fights, whereas Pacquiao is best when intense and aggressive. Mayweather has never been known to win by hurting his opponents when his opponents are elites (or at least close to that status), Mayweather wins on points. But Pacquiao is known to hurt his opponents bad and thus neutralizing them to win (elite opponents or not). You can see how the same thing can affect different people in different ways (which is also true in life). That is why the taxation system in democratic countries is equity based, not equality based. Just because both of them will do it doesn't mean it's fair. Think about it. BONUS question: Name a performance enhancing drug that can only be detected within 48 hours after it has been taken, and at the same time can only be detected by blood test, and is completely undetectable after 48 hours of taking it? @EzLover23 and Norman Bates Happy Holidays. Can you just answer or rebut my points instead of accusing me? This is a boxing forum (effectively), and people discuss their perspectives and ideas. I did my thinking can you do yours? I wouldn't mind if you prove me wrong, as long as you prove it concisely. Man I didn't expect this low level thinking, especially from you Norman Bates.

Does anyone know why I would need to have a full blood count test repeated in 2 weeks? I've just been diagnosed with arthritis (I have the bone growths in my joints) and now the doctor is trying to find out what type. I had lots of blood tests yesterday (including the rheumatoid factor, enthrocryte sedimentation, c-reactive protein etc). The doctor's called today to say they had some of the results back and I need to have another full blood count done in two weeks time. Why is this? I'm 25.

Tests for inflamed joints? So, I have had trouble with swollen knees for over 6 months now. I started physical therapy about two weeks ago and it is helping. However, I have been having trouble with smaller joints recently. Lately, I've been having trouble with my toes, wrists, thumbs, index fingers, ring finger, and pinky finger. I have also had trouble with my elbow. Dull achy pain when used. Pinky finger having trouble fully extending. Have had several tests done and nothing useful. Blood results were normal (ANA was a little high as well as calcium). MRI showed inflammation. X-Ray Normal. Negative for lupus, lyme's, RA, pseudo gout, Hepatitis A-E, and a few others I'm forgetting. After over 6 months of this, I'm getting tired of it. So, I want to know the name of every possible test I can have for this, even if I've already had them. This includes blood tests, disease tests, etc. What are all the possible tests I can have done? Thank you. Please keep in mind that I have been dealing with this for over 6 months. I assure you that I already know that Lyme's Disease tests are not always accurate. The Western Blot is only 80 % accurate. Even still, I could be seronegative. I am not asking for information about any of the diseases that it could be. I am asking for tests that I could have. For example: ANA Test for a blood test. As a fair warning, I will report your answer if you spam me with websites regarding different conditions, etc. I have been to the several doctors for over 6 months now. I've pretty much heard it all. I am wanting the names of tests that I can ask my doctor for.

Can I sue under these circumstances in NY State? I had a series of tests done in December including blood tests and had a clean bill of health. I become sexually active with a person (male) in January (this month). I now have the signs for herpes. I talked to him about STDs but he did not inform me that he had any. Now, he is ignoring my emails, calls, texts, etc. Is it possible within NY to sue someone for failure of communication of an STD or to punish the person in any way? What type of attorney would I look for?

Workplace blood test - can they detect Marijuana? There's a voluntary work place health check, which includes a blood test. The health check is required for a lower health insurance cost at work, completely voluntary if you don't want that particular plan. My question is, can they detect marijuana in these types of tests? The pamphlet says the blood test is for a cholestorol(sp?) check and they also measure body height and weight. Am I at risk of being caught with marijuana in my system?

High heart rate-normal blood pressure? I am 20, 54-55kg, and i have been having normal blood pressure (70/120) and a hightened heart rate- NOT above 100, but I feel it a bit heightened, it is like 80 or 90 something.. I have read some reviews on the topic, and as far as i understood, for adults having a heart rate below 100 is quite normal. still i am a bit worried cause my heart rate used to be slower... I am aware that there are a couple of factors that might be the reason: I am a smoker(trying to quit now!), recently i started drinking coffee again, mainly cause i had a stressful exam period and needed to stay awake and concentrate,..oh and i am an infrequent coke user. I used to excerize and swim, but lately haven't had the time. I am aware that all those factors might be a reason, but is it permanently gonna stay like it is now? I had medical check-ups last week, including blood tests and everything seemed fine, actually, my results were perfect!! this summer I had my first ECG, not because i had problems, it was just a routine check, and everything was fine, but i remember my pulse was like 73 back then, and now it is like 80 something.. I know i should start leading a calmer and more active way of life, and i am trying, but can someone please answer my questions and recommend me a way to feel calmer and healthier in this situation?? I worry a lot, and have been having problems sleeping, tried some herbal pills to calm me down, but they don;t seem to be having that much of an effect.. please help..:(

Would these tests reveal the presence of STD's?

Do residents of Anchorage get their blood checked for Vitamin D? Latitude and cloud cover are the two most important factors involved in your skin producing vitamin D. Unfortunately, among the major cities in the U.S.A., Anchorage has both the northernmost lattitude and the most annual cloud cover. This is a recipe for disaster with respect to vitamin D deficiency. Are residents of Anchorage aware of this? Do they ask their doctors to include vitamin D testing when they get blood tests? Do they take vitamin D supplements?, go to tanning salons?, eat more salmon?

sick with the unknown(blood test included)? so i've been sick since november. november through january was the worse. also end of february through middle of march. i would constantly be throwing up and having horrible stomach pains. continuously dizzy and faint feeling. i constantly needed water, i always felt dehydrated. i would throw up every single day. all the time in the morning and most every time i used the bathroom. i lost my appetite significantly. if i wasn't at the peak of the sickness, i am just having bad stomach pains and feeling faint. i've also been getting a lot of ulcers in my mouth that typically last only 3-4 days. i brush my teeth every day, so i don't see why i am getting these sores. its not like i have herpes or anything. i've had a blood test. and everything was perfect except a few things; high iron(which is really unusual cause i've always had really low iron my whole life) low carbon dioxide big red blood cells. low b12 and folic acid high tsh levels(only 1 of the 5 thyroid tests are abnormal) low electrolytes. soooo, yeah. they put me on vitamins and stuff, but its barely helping. i'm also on an antibiotic. i've been on it since march. i'm coming back to a peak of the sickness. i honestly feel like i'm dying. the doctors want to wait another year to do another blood test and see how things are doing. any ideas?

Can anxiety REALLY cause dizziness and crazy physical symptoms? I've been told by my doctor and ER physicians that I have nothing wrong with besides anxiety.

No insulin but normal blood sugar? My friend is in her 30s and having trouble getting pregnant. She is in excellent health and appropriate weight. The doctor ordered a bunch of lab work, including tests related to her insulin and blood sugar levels. One of the tests came back showing that she has normal blood sugar, but an insulin level of ZERO. The doctor didn't think that could be right, so he ordered the test again with the same result. Since then, she has been testing her blood sugar levels at home on a regular basis, with all readings being on the low end of normal. Anyone have any clue how this is possible?

why do i have to wait a week to get the results on my blood pregnancy test? I went to the Dr. today. I had some blood drawn including a test for pregnancy.

how to do home blood tests? I really want to be able to do a full blood count, including mineral (sodium and potassium) as well as uric acid, creatine, glucose (fasting) iron, proteins including bilirubin, and any other major organ blood tests. I'm experienced with finding veins and stuff as I am a haemophiliac, and have syringes and needles to hand, but It would be useful if I could do a full blood count and body function test at home? If anyone can provide me with some information regarding a scientific, lab worthy way of doing this, it would be great!

Tachycardia and high blood pressure due to prolonged stress? Is this possible? Background: I am 15 years old, male, and I have an IQ of 147 (yes, this is relevant). My parents split up during the summer of 2008. At this time my blood pressure was at a healthy level and I was not experiencing tachycardia without reason (ie exercise). The last time my blood pressure was recorded as healthy was in December. Not long after, on new years day, my father suffered a stroke* (albeit a minor one). This, in conjunction with the separation, was quite hard on me. At this time my sister began living at my mother's, as I remained with my father. We would frequently have conversations about my mother, me, my sister, and real estate issues, some of which developed into arguments (don't take this the wrong way; I have a positive relationship with my father). This placed a great deal of emotional stress on me. As the end of the school year approached**, I began experiencing episodes of tachycardia at school, as well as persistent diarrhea. I visited my doctor (about 1.5 months before the end of school) because of this diarrhea, and, while waiting for my appointment, experienced a very high heart rate. I naturally brought this up to my doctor and he referred me to a pediatrician (for both this and the diarrhea). My pediatrician ran all the tests he could (I am scheduled to see a cardiologist in january and I am scheduled for a renal ultrasound this fall), being the specific professional that he is, which all came back normal. These tests included an array of blood tests, stool samples, electrocardiograms, general vital signs, and chest x-rays. Over a period of three months, my blood pressure read as high (140-150 systolic and 85-92ish diastolic) at each appointment. When I told him I was suffering from a pulse visible in my eye, he prescribed propranolol (3 10mg doses a day, 8am, 2pm, 8pm) for me. That drug didn't reduce my blood pressure effectively enough so I was placed on Lisinopril just last week. As I attempted to gradually reduce my propranolol dose I experienced tachycardia, so, after consulting an ER doctor, resumed my regular dosage. I am due to see my pediatrician this thursday. *I was home alone with my father when he suffered the stroke, which took place during a huge blizzard. It was rather traumatic. **I was stressed for exams, and I have horrible homework habits (I am a chronic procrastinator). I forgot to mention that my Lisinopril dosage is 10mg once a day (8am). Yes, my question is whether or not the stress in my life could possibly be the cause of my issues. Thanks for the non-spam response :P "I HAV SOLV 4 UR PROBLM... visit link here: *insert masked url* IT WIL HLP U LIEK IT HLPED ME" Lol... The propranolol was to reduce the strength of my pulse, because the blood vessels in my eye were, evidently, being placed under increased stress. Propranolol is used in the treatment of tachycardia and high blood pressure, so I can't see why my pediatrician is an idiot; however, I'll leave that judgement up to you though - you're the professional. Oh, I also find it hard to believe that a "Registered Doctor" plays pokemon diamond (I don't recommend that you make your questions/answers public, otherwise you will appear as what you are, a sham).

In Wi, if you do the breath test and comes back over the legal limit, can they make you do a blood test also? My boyfriend did all the field tests they asked, including the breath test. He was over the limit and arrested. At the jail, they then wanted a blood test. He refused it because he said that they breath test was done and they have their evidence. They ended up tackling him to the ground and drew the blood. Is this legal?

Blood test during pregnancy? I went for my 2nd scan today and found out that I am 14wks instead of 11wks (yeah). Anyways my doctor has sent me for all these blood tests which included a test for downs syndrome. Is all these tests normal or is there something I should worry about? I'm 24 so I didn't think it really necessary but he did ask me whether I wanted the downs syndrome test or not. I said why not, its better to know.

Lost appetite and losing weight quickly. How concerned should I be? I am a male overweight 40 year old with Type 2 diabetes under control with oral meds. I am 6' 2" and one month ago was 240 lbs. I lost my appetite and since then have been eating extremely small meals (1/3 cup of cereal, a bannana, or a salad the size of your fist). I have lost 20 lbs (in 4 weeks). This is not my plan to lose weight so I went to a doctor (I live overseas). He did a battery of tests, including blood tests galore, analyzed my output, X-ray, TB, and let's just say he physically checked everywhere). Nothing unusual. I am not overly stressed or depressed. I am happy that I am losing weight. I feel fine, actually better than normal, except some low Blood sugar (60-70) in which I each something quickly. The doctor asked that I come back in two weeks. My question is should I be worried? Or just take it as a fluke of nature until I get to a healthy weight? My A1C (longterm BS) was 5.7 (normal range 4.3 to 5.8). So this looks good. But as this is a 90 day average it could be lower as I have lost appetite for only 30 days.

My girlfriend shows many of the signs and symptoms of anemia, but blood tests come back negative? Her signs and symptoms: 1) Extreme chronic fatigue - she sleeps roughly 12 hours per day, but isn't capable of doing much for any of the day outside maybe three hours or so, sometimes not even that. We're talking too tired to even watch a movie or read here. 2) Shortness of Breath - She has had asthma symptoms for approximately two weeks. She does not normally have this response to allergyns in the area. She has never been diagnosed with asthma, but she does not think she's ever been tested for it. 3) Enlarged, sensitive spleen - Her spleen was enlarged enough one night to actually see a distention in her abdomen in the area of her spleen. 4) Lightheadedness, especially when standing She HAS seen a doctor about this. In fact, she sees a doctor regularly. She is a fibromyalgia patient and thus requires a lot of medical visits. She has had blood tests for anemia, including but not limited to a CBC. They came back negative, but her symptoms were much more mild then. My question: Is this possible? For the bloodtests to show a false negative? If not, what other conditions could cause these symptoms? I'm an army medic, which doesn't make me an expert in things like these, but I know a little about what questions to ask and I live with her so I can see her symptoms regularly, and they are worrisome. She's headed back to the doctor on Monday morning, and for the first time I'll be coming with her to help her with asking questions and articulating her symptoms (she's very shy.) I'll do my homework on any answers I get here and you might very well help me is asking the questions that will get her the treatment she needs. Thanks in advance. NOTE: On fibro - her doctors are starting to think they may have misdiagnosed her as she is not responding to treatments for it. NOTE: Spleen enlargement: Although you can't normally see any distention in her spleen, it is nearly always very sensitive to palpation. Even a light push will make her wince.

How much is the cost for going in an emergency to the hospital? Does anyone knows how much does it cost an Emergency Room in the Hospital? I mean for being there for like 5 - 6 hours for alcohol poison? They put the IV's and flush the alcohol out of your body and maybe a blood test included? Please can anyone answer this? In Jackson, MI. Also I don't have insurance.

How accurate is a blood test for your liver? I was worried about my liver as I was taking alot of codeine plus I used to drink alot ( I dont anymore ) I had a full blood test for everything including liver and doctor said everything is fine. Is this accurate or is there another test for liver? haha yeah your right, i guess im just paranoid. I wanted to know if there were any more liver tests and I forgot to ask him.

Thanks for your serious answers.. Believe me she knows about the birth control now..She went thru all the std tests and aids test and swears she will not be doing that ever again..LOL I'm sure she will but she will be protected I hope

Blood tests at 12 weeks? Hi, I had the routine blood tests at 12 weeks including the full blood count, HIV, screening etc on Tuesday (this week). Well I have had the blood count one back today but the others are not back yet. I know that some tests take longer than others to come back but obviously me and my Husband are eager to find out the results of the screening ones. So I just wondered roughly how long it takes for the other results to come back - I am worrying that because they did not come back with the full blood count then that means there is something wrong with the baby but everyone else is saying it is just too early for the results. So would you be so kind as to tell me roughly when your results come back? Thank you Lol I know I should stop freaking its just that I am so happy to have reached 12 weeks (miscarried at Xmas) I am almost "waiting" for something to go wrong as I can't believe how happy I am!

Getting a Blood Test? I've been meaning to get a blood test done for a while now, but I've put it off because I hate needles. I'm wondering if I can request that ALL of the tests (cholesterol, blood sugar, Hep C, HIV, etc.) be done using the SAME vial of blood, so that I only have to get blood drawn ONE time. I would hate to have to get one thing tested, then come back six months later and get blood drawn again to test for something else ... Also, I will be turning 26 soon so I may be looking at getting my OWN health insurance (I'm currently with my parents). In the interest of "killing all birds with one stone," what is the standard procedure for applying for health insurance? Do pretty much all health insurance agencies require that you get a thorough workup done (including blood tests) before they will accept you? If so, then couldn't I just wait until I apply for my own health insurance, get the blood drawn and the tests done, and get it all over with all at once? The only concern I have is whether doctors are reluctant to test for everything at once, because they want to make money off of "multiple visits?" So would I have to get my blood drawn multiple times, as ridiculous as that seems? Also, would insurance companies also likely order you to get other tests done before they accept you, such as EKGs or MRIs, to rule out existing conditions? I have been meaning to get these done for some time now, so this could be an opportunity. And hypothetically speaking, if the insurance companies found out that you were infected with some sort of virus or had unusually high cholesterol or blood sugar or something like that, would they be legally obligated to inform you? It would kind of defeat the purpose if they aren't required to inform you ...

Please help, I have a friend who has been in constant pain for about three months now.? I have a friend who has been in constant pain for about three months. Besides constant - all over body pain he also has numbness in his hands and his feet, and they are allways cold. He has been to the doctor and they can't figure out what is wrong with him. They have done blood tests, including the test that checks the tyroid and they have all came back negative. Right now all he can do is take the expensive pain killers that the doctor has prescribed. I know that there has to be someone out there that has expirenced this or something like this. If someone could just point us in the right direction and give us some idea of what this might be we would be gratefull. Thank you for your help.

Looking for people who have or have had a tumor in the body of the pancreas.? Do you have a case worker assigned to your case to help you? What was your diagnosis and treatment? What tests did they do to diagnosis you? First diagnosis was suggested to be islet tumor of the endrocine and they wanted to do a distal pancreatecomy and spleenectomy right away. Second diagnosis isn't in yet, but further blood tests, including the CA-19-9, and a Octreo scan is being done (yesterday and today), and a 24 hour urine test. My tumor apparently is cyst-like in an oval shape with a new moon shape that is denser and has blood fluid in it. I don't have any symptoms as yet and the size is 2 cm and round. Received a call from the medical oncologist doctor yesterday and he met with the Tumor Board and their recommendation is the distal pancreatocomy. I was diagnosised as type 2 diabetic in May 2006 and have been informed that this surgery will result in my needing to use insulin. Did this happen to you, and how are you doing? Thanks.

Is a blood test available for checking allergies? I've had allergies forever and as a result of this i have 'allergy shiners' or dark rings around my eyes. For extended periods throughout the year my nasal passages are congested and I have a difficult time breathing. I've been to many doctors ranging from Ear Nose and Throat specialists, Natropaths, GPs etc. I've had tests including the prick test to see if the allergy is a particular animal or not.. They say i'm allergic to Horses and slightly to cats. But it seems that because i don't have any cats/horses anywhere near me that there must be some sort of other allergy whether it be seasonal or some sort of food. I've tried almost all the nasal sprays, ie: rhinocort, nasonex, fess etc but these only prove to help temporarily. I am currently under an elimination diet to see whether I am allergic to Gluten or Dairy. I am not see any significant changes.. Now my question. Is there a blood test available that will test for all sorts of allergies? If so, where can it be done? and what is it called? PLEASE, if you can help I would appreciate it as I hate the look of my eyes and people always asking if i've been in fights. Thankyou

Had blood test and a colposcopy, does that pick up herpes? Ok, so I've had 2 STD tests that both came back negative after I got chlamydia. I had a blood test to see if I had HIV which was also negative. I had an abnormal pap smear so I had to go get a colposcopy and they said it was negative too. SO my question is this...I had little bumps and I don't know if it's herpes or weird razor burn. Do all of those tests include herpes in their results?

Positive pregnancy test results but only on certain brands of tests.? This sounds weird. I'm 95 percent sure that I'm pregnant. I've been pregnant before and I could almost swear I was. I've taken multiple pregnancy tests including a trip to the doctors office for a blood test, I buy different brands of pregnancy tests, I'm noticing I'm popping pregnant on some of them but not pregnant on others. I had a blood test done and the results came back negative however I believe it was too early for a blood test to be done, I don't even think I was at the 7-10 days when I had it done. Any answers?

Every month, I think I am going to get my period, and I don't. Why? I was on birth control for almost a year until this past November. Every now and again my period would be a little late, but since end of December/January (And that was even a light period, which was wierd), I haven't gotten it. I get cramps, and minimal symptoms of PMS. I am underweight but have recently been put on a healthy diet to put some weight on me. I thought maybe being off the birth control screwed my cycle up. Then also, my sister just moved out of the house, and she used to get her period around the same time as me; it's weird because this started after January when she moved out. My friends tell me stress, but what else is there? Do I just need to wait for the weight to be put on? I am a little bit scared. I know I am not pregnant, I have taken over 4 pregnancy tests, including a blood test, over this span of time. I just want to get an idea before I venture off to the doctors. Thank you!

I havent had a period in 6 months what could be wrong? I'm really frusterated because i was on birthcontrol and i skipped my period so i quit taking the birthcontrol that was 7 months ago!! and i thought i was pregnant i've taken every test including a blood test and i dont know what in the world could be wrong so if you got any ideas let me know!!! does that mean your not even ovulating anymore if you dont have a period because were really trying to have a baby this sucks!

what are the most common signs of pregnancy? The last couple of weeks my boobs have been leaking and sore. Other than that i have been feeling nausious and a clean freak! I have done 2 home pregnancy tests and they were both negative i also went to the doctors and their tests were negative too (including a blood test). I have been told by a heap of people that blood tests can be wrong. Everything is telling me that i am not prenant but my body is telling me that i am. Can anyone help me with this dilema? It will be greatly appreciated.

Has this happened to any females before? I havent had a period since August and severe pain in my lower abdomen during and after sex. SOmetimes it just hurts during normal activities. I went to the Dr. yesterday. I'm not pregnant. I have no infections. They did multiple tests, including a vaginal ultrasound, pelvic exam, pap smear, urine test, blood test, and culture test. It's all normal.I've always had normal periods. This is really weird. The Dr. gave me some meds to induce my period and said to come back in a few weeks if this is still going on. HAs anyone ahd this similar experience. Or know of someone? I'm only 18. I went to a gyno. I've been having regular periods since i was 11.

is an enlarged heart anything to worry about? my husband had a chest xray yesterday which showed an enlarged heart but lungs were clear.He has high blood pressure at times but a recent ecg proved normal.He is getting palpitations and has a rapid heart rate at times also.Is this anything to be concerned about or will the consultant dismiss it as normal?.Recent blood tests were normal but have been repeated will more in depth tests included.

My blood tests came back normal except for high calcium and potassium levels. What does this mean? Last week, I had several tests done: an EKG, Urinalysis and Blood Tests. Everything was normal including my red and white blood counts and blood platelets. My blood pressure was 110/60. I take Lotensin once a night for high blood pressure. But my doctor said my calcium and potassium levels were elevated. She said this could have been caused by lab error, where the technician let the vial set too long before spinning it. I'm hoping this is the case. If I really do have high levels of calcium and potassium, why are all my other tests normal? I'm due for another blood test in mid-March. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you!

Do I have to take a blood test to move abroad to Abu Dhabi/UAE? My Dad got offered a job in Abu Dhabi and we're all moving abroad from UK to Abu Dhabi soon. My Dad had to take a medical examination to show if he was healthy enough to go. This included a blood test which showed any trace of alcohol/drugs in his system and whether his diabetes sugar level was stable etc. etc. He passed. I asked him and apparently we (being me and Mum) don't have to take the blood test its already sorted. But if we're leaving the country to go Abu Dhabi don't we have to take blood tests as an entry requirement too?

transvaginal ultra sound for pelvic pain- negative hpt & blood test? ok..about a month ago (beginning of January) i went to the DR because i was having a lot of pelvic discomfort and pregnancy symptoms. This had been going on since mid december. At the beginning of december, i had a very odd period. started with a few spots for a couple days then just 1-2 days of bleeding. I had this same type of period in the beginning of january and the bleeding last for about 24 hours. Shortly after my "period" ended i went to the dr's telling them of my symptoms. I had a pap - came back normal, was tested for STD's and many other tests including bladder and kidney problems & checked for other diseases like diabetes. I was very healthy. She ordered an ultrasound which i went in for 2 days later and i told the tech a little of what was going on and i said my main concern is pregnancy. She then told me that she wasnt ordered a pregnancy ultrasound only a pelvic ultrasound. I had a transvaginal and topical one done and the only thing they found was a small cyst on my right ovary. I am very bloated, and my stomcach has gotten a little bigger since the testing. Since i had the ultrasound would it have shown if i was pregnant even though she wasnt ordered a pregnancy ultrasound? I'm confused and feel pregnant. Oh and i am just getting over yet another "period" which i only bled for one day and spotted a tiny bit for 2 days. Any feedback would be great! they almost didnt even tell me about the cyst because it was so small. They didnt even comment about my uterus so that make me wonder of they got a good look at it. I'm also not on any bc pills and wasnt using protection..wasnt ttc but it would be ok if i got pregnant. I am peeing allll the time, have mild headaches, get dizzy, little waves of nasea, really veiny and have little bruises for some reason on my thighs (wierd but my veins are super prominent lately so i thought thats why they're bruising easier. Also in the last 4 weeks i have taken some pictures. here is one from about a month ago and another recent pic. My stomach is growing along with my appetite. I had NO appetite in december and actually lost about 10 lbs. I normally have a flat stomach being 5'7" and 125lbs as of my last dr visit http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g159/lexus1422/?action=view&current=IMG_2041.jpg http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g159/lexus1422/?action=view&current=IMG_2214.jpg

Can a blood disorder usually show up in tests? Can blood disorders usually show up in blood tests? Tests taken include Full Blood Count (with slightly elevated white cells which could be due to a virus) and blood cultures.

If I had some type of cancer that had gone to the stage of spreading to my lymph nodes would blood tests show? I have got lymph nodes in my groin area that I have not felt before. I noticed them about 6 weeks ago so went along to the Drs to have them checked out. I was suffering with a bad cold/flu type illness at the time and the Doc put it down to a viral infec.

I have had Complete Blood Count, thyroid, liver and kidney function test, inflammation test, diabetes, anemia blood tests and a urine test.

How long is nicotine detectable in the human body through blood tests. Urgently need to know ! Help me?? THNX I've recently changed doctors and he says I have to quit smoking or he will not treat me. My next appointment is scheduled for Oct., with orders for blood work to check for nicotine, one week prior. The other day, I had a Heart Saver Scan done (detects and gives a calcium score...high, signifies an increased chance, when included with risk factors, of significant heart disease). My score was above 1000, and they have now ordered lab work, AND a cardiac catherization next week. I have stopped smoking, but JUST. I think I'm about to be busted big time!!! He has given me permission to use "the gum" and I know it shows up in tests, but will it be really obvious that I did, in fact smoke ( not very heavily) for up to a couple of weeks after he gave me his ultimatum. I know it is out of my hands, and I probably deserve whatever he decides to "dish out" but I'd really like to know what to expect. Thanks for everyones help in advance.

I'm comparing urobiologics with blood DNA tests? Hello! I used urobiologics three years ago with success and am pregnant again and want to find asap. I know uro company finds gender by testing urine but now there is new company doing it by blood. I am also reading a lot of complaints about blood test at www.in-gender.com and www.babycenter.com but I don't hear much about urobiologics. Comparing fees, urine test is reasonably low cost as their fee includes s/h costs whereas blood test charge s/h extra. Is there a place where accuracies of both tests have been compared? Personally I am more inclined to urine test because they test each case individually whereas the blood test is done in mass. Thinking, my sample would be assigned to a tech and why would a technician getting paid hourly be serious about the accuracy of blood result? Just my thoughts. manisha g
