Why is my anti-HAV IgG reactive?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have viewed your blood report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Regarding your hepatitis profile, everything is normal. Anti-HAV (IgG) is reactive. It indicates that in the past you might have been infected with hepatitis A virus. But, now it has cleared and no treatment needed for it. I can see your fasting glucose, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are raised. At your age, especially if you are overweight then this calls for dietary changes and lifestyle regulations. Try to consume less of high calorie, high fat and high sugar containing foods. If you smoke then quit smoking. Alcohol consumption should also be limited because chronically raised cholesterol can affect your cardiac status in the longer run. If you are overweight then your doctor may start you on Atorvastatin if the lifestyle and dietary regulations fail to lower the cholesterol levels. Thank you and take care.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In some people, there may be a genetic tendency for hypercholesterolemia. Yes, butter can be a culprit if had in excess. Plant fat is better than animal fat. It is good that you are doing physical activity. Please do continue it. You can try bringing out some dietary modifications and then may repeat cholesterol profile. Also check your fasting blood glucose after three months. Good luck.
