Question: I have completed Aarogyam 2.1 Wellness Check for My Father-in-law and received the reports. I will be uploading the same ,so that you can review the report and help me understand if anything alarming is reported or if any corrective action is required further.
Brief Answer:
Diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
I have reviwed the reports of your father in law.
There are two problems:
1. HbA1c is raised means he is a diabetic. You have not mentioned that in medical history. However diabetes is under good control.
Give me details of his diabetes and his medications
2. His Liver enzymes are slightly raised. I suppose that can be due to Statins (Atovastatin) the drug for cholesterol that he must be taking as is evident by his well controlled lipid profile and also since he had heart attack previously so must be taking.
In case he consumes alcohol he should avoid.
Rest investigations attached are within normal lipid.
Also I would advise you to share if any particular issue you want to discuss.
Stay Healthy.
