You are missing several tests like b 12, copper, selenium, but what you do have looks good. your vit. d needs a little work though

 The entire report didn't paste over :( my b12 was 679 but I dont see copper and selenium on the list. I wish I could have figured out to get the whole list in here..I may type it out.

Just wanted to add... Vit D levels are hard to maintain, since you are so early out and already having low levels, I suggest getting on top of it now. Vitalady.com has 50k dry vit D for a very reasonable price.

The main thing I notice is your vitamin D is super low.  We need that to be at least 80.  It looks like your protein had dropped some but is going back up now, so that's good.

I saw your other post with your B12 level and I would increase the B12 a bit.  Also I'm not seeing iron, ferritin, PTH, thiamin, folate, vitamin A, zinc or copper, unless those just didn't show up.

 My vitamin A was 36 at 1 month and 24 at 3 months and my zinc was 89 then 79. Ferritin was 118 at 3 months(wasn't taken at 1 month). I don't see the other labs you mentioned. I was concerned about my liver because of the C-reactive protein being at 1.04 as well as the RDW being at 15.2 and the Cardio CRP (r) being at 9.8...I'm not sure if I'm worrying about it for no reason or what. I also am having my gallbladder removed next Thursday so I'm not sure if my gallbladder malfunctioning is causing some of those other things to be high.

I don't know about the liver stuff.  That's something to ask your doc about.

Are you taking some vitamin A now?  And D3?

 I'm not taking any vitamin A aside from whatever is in my multi..the calcium I take has D in it.
