Hello,
Please help me put some worrying results in better context.
Results are from April 2017 and Ref values: (...)
Blood Thickness:
Cardiac C-reactive protein: 0.3 mg/1000 ml (up to 1.1 mg/lt)
Homocysteine: 14.60 uM (5.00 a 12.00 uM)
Fibrinogen: 315 mg/100 ml (200 a 400 mg/100 ml)
Ferritin: 106.90 ng/ml (Women: 11.00 a 306.80 ng/ml)
Hemoglobin A1C: 6.0 % (4.4 a 6.4% Hb total)
Lipoprotein (a): less than 20 mg/dl
KPTT 39 secs (33 a 48 secs)
Prothrombin time: 14.9 segundos / "Activity" (?) 83.0 % (70.00 a 100.0%)
Fasting insulin (results for: Sept, Nov 2016 and April 2017):
4.4 uUl/ml // 3.70 uUl/ml // 3.10 uUl/ml
Most recent Fasting glucose (144 mg/100 ml) way too high but working on it daily via Cronometer and a lowish carb diet (60-70 Net carbs).
But (from Jan 2017) "off the chart" Sears AA, DHA & EPA numbers. Ratios are frightening.
AA: 10.47 (7-9%)
EPA 0.35 (4-6%)
DHA 0.75 (5-7%)
Results are from a lab here in Argentina, "Dr. Sears Zone Argentina".
Personally that merits a grain of salt which is why I'm asking for help before I over worry.
I am tall, too thin, in chronic afib and they consider the obese / high blood pressure / high insulin / diabetic, etc. angle of heart problems.
I've been taking Life Extension Mega EPA/DHA since August 2016, now 2 softgels (4000 mg Fish oil concentrate) a day, coming down from 3 a day because I had 2 short nose bleeds and 1 longer one, on 3 consecutive days at about the same time of day, so decided to cut back. Also recently following omega 3 and omega 6 ratios, etc. via Cronometer. Working on it.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me put these frightening AA/EPA/DHA numbers into a larger perspective.
Many, many thanks,
ginny
