A moderately increased ACR indicates an early phase of developing kidney disease. Very high values show that kidney disease is present in a more severe form. Very low values generally indicate that kidney function is normal if other tests of kidney function, e.g. the glomerular filtration rate, also show no abnormality.

Understanding Your Results
The results of the microalbuminuria test will vary, depending on the laboratory where the sample was analyzed. Normal values are typically less than 30 mcg/mg (micrograms per milligram).
A low level of albumin in the urine is an indication that your kidneys are functioning normally.

How well this equation de-scribes the data (the 'fit'), is expressed as a correlation coefficient, R2 (R-squared). The closer R2 is to 1.00, the better the fit. This too can be calculated and displayed in the graph.
Testosterone• Andropause or "male menopause" is a
recognized medical condition brought about by declining testosterone or male hormone levels with. The World Health Organization reports that testosterone levels progressively decline with age. By age 70 they are about 10 percent of what they were at age 25. It is estimated that 30 percent of men in their 50s will have testosterone levels low enough to be causing symptoms or putting them at risk.

Having a high level of triglycerides, a type of fat (lipid) in your blood, can increase your risk of heart disease. However, the same lifestyle choices that promote overall health can help lower your triglycerides, too.
Serum Triglycerides
http://www.jhsph.edu/news/news-releases/2000/cholesterol-kidney.html
Link Found between Cholesterol and Kidney DiseaseResearchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health have found that high levels of triglycerides and low levels of high-density (good) cholesterol in the blood predict the onset of chronic kidney disease.
Serum Triglycerides
https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/cholesterol
People with good LDL cholesterol, high HDL cholesterol, and normal triglycerides are less likely to have heart disease.

Serum Cholesterol
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Cholesterol/Pages/Causes.aspx
People with high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes often have high cholesterol.
Some medical conditions can also cause raised levels of cholesterol. These include:
• kidney disease• liver disease• an underactive thyroid gland
Serum Cholesterol
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Elevated+serum+cholesterol
Elevated cholesterol also can be caused by an underlying disease that raises blood cholesterol levels such as diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, liver disease, or hypothyroidism. It also can be caused by an inherited disorder in which cholesterol is not metabolized properly by the body.
Serum Cholesterolhttp://www.davita.com/kidney-disease/overview/assessing-your-risk/causes-of-low-cholesterol-in-people-with-kidney-disease/e/7811
For most people, a low cholesterol reading indicates less risk of cardiovascular disease. For a patient with kidney disease, the cause of a low cholesterol reading can be an indicator of underlying kidney disease complications, such as malnutrition and inflammation. Your doctor will examine all possible causes of your low cholesterol level so the right treatment is prescribed, and you can live a better quality of life with kidney disease.

LDL-C is an important marker for the risk of developing heart disease.
There is a strong and graded correlation between LDL-C and the risk of CVD, both in women and men, although this has been debated by some investigators.
Available evidence suggests that lowering blood levels of LDL-C reduces the risk of CVD.

IGF-1http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/igf1/tab/test/Decreased IGF-1If the IGF-1 level is decreased, then it is likely that there is a GH deficiency or an insensitivity to GH. If this is in a child, the GH deficiency may have already caused short stature and delayed development and may be treated with GH supplementation. Adults will have an age-related decrease in production, but lower than expected levels may reflect a GH deficiency or insensitivity.
If a decrease in IGF-1 is suspected to be due to a more general decrease in pituitary function (hypopituitarism), then several other endocrine glands and their pituitary regulating hormones will need to be evaluated to decide on appropriate treatment. Reduced pituitary function may be due to inherited defects or can develop as a result of pituitary damage following conditions such as trauma, infections, and inflammation.
Decreased levels of IGF-1 also may be seen with nutritional deficiencies (including anorexia nervosa), chronic kidney or liver disease, inactive/ineffective forms of GH, and with high doses of estrogen.
Increased IGF-1Elevated levels of IGF-1 usually indicate an increased production of GH. Since GH levels vary throughout the day, IGF-1 levels are a reflection of average GH production, not of the actual amount of GH in the blood at the time that the sample for the IGF-1 measurement was taken. This is accurate up to the point at which the liver's capacity to produce IGF-1 is reached. With severely increased GH production, the IGF-1 level will stabilize at an elevated maximum level.
Increased levels of GH and IGF-1 are normal during puberty and pregnancy but otherwise are most frequently due to pituitary tumors (usually benign).
Rate Calculation• Could be considered fascinating/of particular interest, as some
people can go several years without seeing a Doctor.
• Rate calculation approach of data analysis provides evidence based material upon which to reach conclusions as to which parameters are changing.
– Which parameters are increasing– Which parameters are decreasing
• Only the end point of death can indicate for certain the significance of increasing parameters and decreasing parameters.

As at May 2015, I believe that I have enough data to say with some confidence that the parameters below are decreasing
What is going wrong vs What went wrong
• Working out what went wrong is a lot easier than working out what is going wrong, based upon the biochemical evidence.
– i.e. if I were to die tomorrow, cause of death could be the following;• Decreasing Testosterone
• Of course, for others, it might be different, and they could experience decreasing blood sugar (HbA1c) before death, whereas in me raised blood sugar has proved nearly fatal, so in me the lower the better.
Sir David Frost's family talk of their devastation after his eldest son, Miles, 31, died suddenly while jogging and reveal how 'he was the leader of the pack
since Dad died'

31-Fitness-fanatic-collapsed-morning-run-family-s-Oxfordshire-holiday-home.html
Miles Frost, 31, was a keen athlete and had shown no signs of ill health
• 'I had breakfast with him last Thursday and he was in great form. There was no signs that anything was wrong.
• 'It just underscores the fragility of life. There will be a post mortem examination but all we know is that he collapsed while jogging.
Case Study
• In the case of my grandmother;
– If she were to die tomorrow, and there was sufficient biochemical evidence, you could say with a degree of certainty that
– As her Kidney failed,– She lost a lot of weight,– And then eventually died.
Cause of death
• Once biochemical tests have indicated that there is organ failure
– Scans could confirm this.
• With the combination of scans and biochemical evidence, we could work out for certain what the cause of death was; for those interested.
• Cause of death may not be such a straightforward task, as the slides I hope would indicate that errors in the testing procedures could lead to misleading results.
