My doc seems to be really smart but doesn't like answering specific blood work questions. Her answer is, you have Lupus. So, is there anyone here that has a medical background that can answer questions about what it means for specific blood results to be low or high? Specifically Low Globulin, Alkaline Phosphatase. High MCV and Albumin/Globulin Ratio.

Thanks! Conquer the Day :)

You will probably get more answers from your lupus friends then the doctors

I might yes.. But I also have a very good DR. My PC is a internal medicine. And she is on it. And if something don't work she will try another way. Just getting to know my R. A.

Thank you. Much of what I read talks about high ALP levels and mine are consistently low. I'm not sure why. I'll have to ask my doc again and push the issue a bit.
