Question: blood test results


Does anyone know of any good books that explain the meaning
of various blood test results? Thanks in advance

These are my latest blood test results:
Please note that I am taking a diurectic (water pill)
so that explains why the sodium levels and potass. levels are fairly low.
sodium 135
potassium 3.4
chloride 97 low
CO2 34
Anion gap 7 low
glucose 98
BUN 7 low
creatinine 1.5 high
calcium 9.1

Any evidence of kidney problems in the above readings?
I should note that I had kidney disease when I was a baby.
