Yesterday I received a call from my dialysis nurse. She informed me that my nephrologist had reviewed my most recent lab report and wanted to make some changes. She is concerned about my Hemoglobin being so high (14.5) which has a lab range of 14-18. Mine is too high for someone on PD. Secondly, my iron is in the over 800 range and the lab range is 22-322. I have been taking OTC iron supplements which I was instructed to stop. Additionally, she wants labs on my B12 for which I have been taking an injection every two weeks. On top of that, in question is if I should continue testosterone injections which I currently take every two weeks.
As you can ascertain from the above, there are lots of moving parts. See graph below:
