Dr. Liu Called Back?

Dr. Liu called called Daddy later this afternoon and told Daddy that she spoke to a specialist about my Jaundice situation, and the specialist recommended further blood tests and an urine test, just to make sure everything is okay, especially my Liver.  Dr. Liu asked Daddy to stop by her office to pick up a kit to collect urine, and to pick up a form for the blood test at the lab.  Here’s the list of blood work that was being ordered!

Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Haptoglobin
Bilirubin
Reticulocyte Count
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Yup, if you took the time to read through all the links provided above, you’ll have a rather clear idea of what the Doctor is focusing one. 

No, you don’t have to thank me for this valuable medical education.
