I have attached the reports.
Brief Answer:
Need lifestyle change.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the reports with diligence. There are two findings noted:
1. Elevated lipoprotein A, as well as mildly deranged cholesterol values, carries a low risk of heart disease if the trends continue.
As the values are not alarmingly high, you don't need medications. Simple life style change such as exercise and dietary modification is sufficient. Reduce high carb, oils and a fatty diet.
2. Liver function revealed elevated bilirubin values. It either suggests you have jaundice or you have an enzyme deficiency that metabolizes bilirubin values. I suggest you to repeat liver function tests after a week.
The rest of the findings are normal and insignificant.
Hope I have answered your query.
