Brief Answer:
Triglycerides and VLDL are elevated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
I have gone through all the reports.
Yes, Triglycerides and VLDL (bad cholesterol) are elevated and good cholesterol(HDL) is lower than normal. High cholesterol also increases blood pressure.
To lower cholesterol levels she has to change her diet habits and should do physical exercises like brisk walk for 30 minutes a day. If she already maintaining diet and doing walk then I would suggest you visit your treating doctor to start her on Statins(cholesterol lowering medication).
She should have high fibre diet like healthy vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy, meat, oily food, sweets. Drink plenty of water.
And I have found abnormalities in urine examination report like blood, wbc, red blood cells in urine.
I would like to know few more details regarding this.
1. Does she has pain or burning sensation while urination?
2. Frequency of urine?
3. Is she diagnosed with Urinary tract infection?
4. Has she done ultra sound scan recently?
Kindly get back to me with details.
Thank you.
