I have just recieved my first blood test results. My doctor says that it appears that I don't have too much liver damage as yet however I would like to be able to know what all these readings indicate.

Can anyone help please.. I am totally overwhemed with just finding out I have an incurable disease let alone dealing with a heptologist who didn't want to explain it to me even though I asked several times. The tests had readings on all of the following..

ALBUMIN

ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE

BILIRUBIN

BLOOD UREA

NITROGEN (BUN)

CO2

CALCIUM

CHOLESTEROL

CHLORIDE

CREATININE

FERRITIN

GGT

GLOBULIN

GLUCOSE

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)

HEMATOCRIT

HEMOGLOBIN

IRON

LAH (Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase)

LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)

LDH

LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE

LYMPHOCYTES

MCHC

MEAN CORPUSCULAR HEMOGLOBIN (MCH)

MEAN CORPUSCULAR VOLUME (MCV)

MONOCYTES

PHOSPHORUS

POTASSIUM

PLATELETS

PROTEIN

RED BLOOD CELL COUNT (RBC)

RETICULOCYTE COUNT

SODIUM TRANSAMINASE SGOT (AST)

TRANSAMINASE SGPT (ALT)

TRIGLYCERIDES

URIC ACID

WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT (WBC)

A long list I know - but any pointers to where I can find out more would be invaluable.

Thankyou in advance.
