My estradiol was <5, which is good, that's what's expected while on Lupron.
A couple other measurements were out of the normal range, though.
My "ALT" and "AST" numbers were both slightly higher than normal. These values are related to liver function, and this site says ALT and AST levels are considered "mildly elevated" when they are 2-3 times the upper limit of normal. Mine are only a little bit high, so I don't think it's problem, plus, thankfully, the online patient portal allows me to see the provider's notes, and my NP had already made note of the unexpected values and put some context around them; she wrote that she would call me (presumably after Christmas) and ask if I had recently taken Tylenol or had alcohol. In fact, I did have about 2 glasses of wine the night before!
My "Baso" number was also just above the normal range. Apparently, basophils are responsible for the histamines in allergic reactions. I still have a baseline runny nose, for unknown reasons; maybe it's seasonal or environmental allergies after all, who knows.
