Brief Answer:
main issue is with slight low Hb, low vitamin d

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic


The first blood test is the complete blood count-- (1)the Hb is slightly low. The change in only slight and would respond to treatment

Based on the fact that the MCV in the complete blood count is also slightly low, the low Hb may be due to lack of iron.
The MCV can give clues about the Hb

Your doctor may need to do further tests to check iron levels to see if there are low. If they are then using an iron supplement would help

The other changes seen in the complete blood count would not be considered significant. The change in lymphocytes, ESR would not be considered significant.

(2)the liver function test results are all normal

(3)The HbA1c means that at present you are not at risk of becoming a diabetic

(4)calium normal

(5)urea and creatinine look at kidney function- these are normal

(6)the cholesterol (LDL) , which is the 'bad' cholesterol is a little high. Diet changes and exercise should help
The good cholesterol , HDL, is a little low, diet and activity would also help here

(7)uric acid, iron and phosphorus are normal

(8)the thyroid function tests are normal

(9)the vitamin d levels are low, you may need to use a supplement to help with this

(10)the PSA is normal

(11)the urine was normal

In summary, the main issues would be the low vitamin d and very slight low Hb which is not likely to cause any symptoms or complications but should be assessed with iron studies
The cholesterol also needs to be addressed

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
