you should be able to talk to your doctor and have him/her explain any test results that you do not understand. you can ask him what they mean in relation to what he is testing you for. you can see normal ranges for all your specific factors in your blood test, but, it takes your physician to interpret them and tell you what they mean.

here is a link to a url that will tell you the normal ranges for the blood tests you had done:

just click on it to read.

if your doctor doesn't tell you what your blood work means when you ask, i would find another doctor.

take care of yourself.
