the URINE TOTAL PROTEIN MG/24HR as high 216 (normal 10-150)....
I should mention that I have been working out more vigorously than usual the last week or so.
Hi, 777Captain.
Funny you should mention this. My center almost took me out in part over a high protein reading. I'd also been working out much more, trying to lose those last few kilos and keep my BP down. The extra exercise, combined with having eaten a few tofu sandwiches the day before my tests, seemed to have distorted my results.
After some heated negotiation, I was allowed to try again, and was required to provide three perfect sets of 24-hour urine collection data. That done, I was allowed to continue, and did end up donating.
It seems your doc is not panicking, which is good. I wish you complete success in passing your tests and donating.
For the wider audience, though, I would just remind everybody that, though it's not something we want to hear, there are in fact people for whom it's less safe to donate. One bad or borderline set of labs is one thing; often, various factors could give misleading results. But sometimes there really is a problem, and it's the center's job to save you from yourself.
Good luck,
Snoopy
