Winston's Senior Wellness Test

Hey All

I took Winston in the other day for the Heartworm test and general check up. Winston got an awesome bill of health from the vet. He indicated that he loooks great for his age and everything looked good!

We decided to run the Wellness Test (bloodwork). They called me yesterday and left a message indicating the tests came back fine.

I called today and asled them to forward it to me so I can have a look. There are a ton of things on here that I dont understand actually I dont understand any of it. Nonetheless I was wondering if anyone knows how to read the results. The obvious areas to me were the areas where the levels were high.

So it shows

ALT 98 normal range is 5-95
Lipase 1002 - normal range 0-900
Hemolysis +1

Does anyone here know how to read the reports...
