Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I went through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Looking at your age, the reports are fair. The interpretations are as follows:

• You might want to check your fasting and postprandial glucose levels, as your HbA1C is somewhat out of range.

• MCV (mean corpuscular volume), MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), and other values indicate volume and size of cells, which are associated with low folate. I suggest you take Multivitamin therapy.

• Looking at your lipid profile, you have high triglycerides, high VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), and low HDL (high-density lipoprotein). But at your age, it is common. According to me, you might decrease intake of fatty foods and increase some good fats found in milk, fish, and nuts.

• GFR (glomerular filtration rate) of the kidneys is low, but at your age, it is good. I would recommend you get ECG (electrocardiogram), blood pressure, vitamin B12 level, and an ultrasound of the abdomen done, after the consent of your local GP. And please get yourself examined at your local clinic.

Take care. Have a nice day.
