Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have recently done some blood tests. The results have shown that your blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin, and total cholesterol levels are slightly above normal (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). On the other hand, alkaline phosphatase and SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase) are below normal, and Vitamin D level is insufficient.
Your slightly raised blood urea nitrogen, total bilirubin, and total cholesterol levels do not indicate anything serious. Complete bed rest for a few days and plenty of fluids intake will help bring back your present bilirubin and blood urea nitrogen levels to normal. In addition, restrictions on fatty and oily foods and dairy products will help reduce your total cholesterol level.
Again, slightly decreased SGOT and alkaline phosphatase also do not mean anything bad or serious. It is important to remember that one blood picture does not confirm anything. Because results may vary from laboratories to laboratories due to the technique of sample collection, methods of investigation, reagents, faulty techniques, and many more. So, you can do repeat your blood tests one month later.
But, according to your reports, your Vitamin D level is insufficient as your value is 23.2 ng/mL (30 to100 is a sufficient level). Vitamin D deficiency is very common. It is assumed that about one billion people worldwide have Vitamin D deficiency. Few factors are responsible for Vitamin D deficiency in the blood, such as people with dark skin, older people, obesity or overweight, staying indoor, always using sunscreen while going out, live in less sunny weather, alcohol consumption, etc.
Vitamin D is very much vital for proper immune function. So, deficiency of Vitamin D may increase the risks of infections. Some symptoms may appear due to Vitamin D deficiency, such as tiredness, fatigue, headaches, joint or bone pain, back pain, depression, stress, muscle pain, impaired wound healing, hair loss, low bone mineral density, etc.
As I have already mentioned, Vitamin D deficiency is very common in people, and most are unaware of this deficiency. But, fixing this deficiency is very important to prevent any complications in the near future. Increasing your sun exposure will help to enhance Vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Similarly, eating more Vitamin D enriched foods like fatty fish, green leafy vegetables, intake of Calcium and Vitamin D supplements daily will help to fix your Vitamin D deficiency easily.
I hope this was helpful.
