But after a couple years of increasing bone pain, osteopenia that has progressed to osteoporosis, and recent diagnosis of a T11 compression fracture, the doc ordered the following tests that I do not understand! My follow up appointment isnt until the end of September but I did manage to obtain the following. I understand that some tests are normal, but I'm totally confused as to what the FLC's mean...and if it's positive simply because they are there. I'm progressively getting weaker, my muscles are wasting, I have carpel tunnel for no reason, and I've shrunk an inch and a half this year. The bone pain is a nightmare in my back, legs, hips, and now my ribs. I had a total hysterectomy in April due to endocrine failure and an elevated OVA1....which ended up being benign. I have a history of kidney stones and poor circulation and I just turned 40....that's way toooooo young.. The only other information is that I have Dextrocardia with 2 anomalous connections (my heart is on the right instead of the left)...and I never had a problem with that until all of this began a couple years ago at which time i ended up with addrenal insuffiency and possible CHF and MI....OUT of the BLUE it seemed. The bone pain began in my left shin with a warm red circle area on the skin....no specialist in my area could ever figure it out and ended up saying there was mild marrow edema and it must be a stress fracture. ANYWAY!! For now....my questions are pertaining to the following and I'm wondering if any of you can shed some light....or maybe have some experience with the following. Thank you in advance for any time you are able to give....blessings...SPEP: normal
UPEP:
Pattern is consistent with a mixed glomerular-tubular protinuria. 24 hour urinary total protein excretion is 102 mg/d which is normal.
Total Protein, Urine (TPX) 17 mg/dL
Albumin, Elec, Urine 7mg
A1 Glob 1 mg
A2 Glob 2 mg
B1 Glob 2 mg
B2 Glob 2mg
Gammaglobulin 4 mg
Kappa Quantitative Free Light Chains 1.53 (ref 0.33-1.94 mg/dL)
Lambda Quantitative Free Light Chains 1.41 (ref 0.57-2.63 mg/dL)
Kappa Lambda Free Light Chain Ratio 1.90 (ref 0.26-1.65)
Bone Spec Alk Phos 25.7 ug/L
Creatinine Clearance, Uncorrected 119 mL/min
Phosphorus, Urine 86.7 mg/dL
Potassium 3.2 mmol/L
Osteocalcin 37
They did not due a regular CBC....but in the past, just FYI....my RDW, MPV, VIT D have usually run on the low side.....and MCH, MCHC, ALK PHOS, PTH, nBUN/CREAT, AST, ALT, Monocytes, Thyroid Antibodies, Thyroid Globulin, have run on the high side.......I don't currently have any information regarding the hemoglob or hemocrit or WBC or RBC...
Also, in April 2011, my urine came back: Mixed flora present = Biotype 1 Staphy, Biotype 2 Staphy, Alpha Hemolytic Strepto vs Gram Positive Rod , and hematuria. And in the past, maybe two years ago, my blood work came back ANA positive 1:60 for possible Lupus...of which I've been told is probably not the case. And when my second of three children was born in 2001, I was told afterwards that I was Strep B positive....and yes, he was born without antibiotics, but is doing well.
Soooooo....wanna know the color of my eyes, too??? LOL
Thanks!!!!!
