Understanding Lab Results for Erythema Nodosum: A Patient's Guide

Question
Hi

I had some lab work done for possible Erythema Nodosum and not sure what the results mean. My doctor dismisses them so not sure if I should follow up or not.

Here are all the results

Glucose  85
BUN      10
Creatinine   0.9
GFR  more than 60.0
      "Calculated from Blood Creatinine"
      "GFR based on 1.73m2 surface area"
      "Based on MDRD GFR Formula"

NA    141
K     4.5
CL     103
CO2     31
Anion Gap  12
Calcium   10.4
Protein, Total  7.9
Albumin    4.7
AST (SGOT)  25
ALT (SGPT)  27
Alk Phos   151
Total Bil   less than 0.4

Could you explain what these results mean?

Thank you and have a good day

Answer
Hi Sheila, I'd be glad to answer your question.  Actually your doctor was right in "dismissing" these results, because they are all normal.  Every single one of them!  These are all blood chemistry results,  all part of a commonly ordered chemistry panel.
