Hi XXXXXX,

Thanks for your query to this forum,

I have gone through all the details you have provided, you are overweight, pre diabetic and high cholesterol level and fatty liver.

Your blood report of neutrophils 48% Lymphocytes 47% seems to be all right but please scan and upload the report so that I can see it and comment.

This is good you have joined gym and started exercise.
Let me know your height and weight, blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels and what drugs you are taking.It is always better if you quit smoking.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest

My AST is 0.78 with an optimal of less than 0.67. My GGT is 0.94 with a range of 0.13-0.102. Plus you have all the blood data from the other part.

Could you please give me a direct answer about the white blood cells questions. it is my main concern. i am terrified of the below normal range of the neutrophils, although it is not by much. could you please answer me quickly. i am really concerned.

Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for input,
Your white blood cell count is marginally lower from lab reference range but there is nothing to worry as it can occur due viral infection or many drugs.

Please do not worry about cancer, just wait for 2 weeks and repeat the blood test, it should recover to normal.

Take care of your diet and please continue exercise regularly. Please continue Crestor (Rosuvastatin) for your cholesterol issue. Your HDL which is good cholesterol is low it improves with exercise.

Hope this helps, if you have any further query let me know, will be available for clarification.
Regards.
Dr. Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
