What Do These Following Lab Reports Indicate?
Vitamin D deficiency - to be corrected with supplements...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the reports with diligence. The reports of Mr XXXXXXX revealed few abnormalities and the most significant one was vitamin D deficient state. It is not surprising. Most Indians have vitamin D deficiency. This could be the result of poor nutrition and lack of sun exposure.
I will suggest to start vitamin D supplements to correct this deficiency. Vitamin D XXXXXXX available as D rise XXXXXXX 60000 IU should be taken once a week for 6 weeks. This could be followed by 4000 IU tablets every day for another 4 weeks. Vitamin D levels can be repeated after 3-4 months after correction.
Besides vitamin D deficiency, it also reveals slightly elevated homocysteine levels. It should be treated with folic acid pills.
Other abnormalities noted were high cholesterol values and some abnormalities in hemogram. I will not consider both these abnormalities significant. At this point they need not attention.
Discuss my suggestions with your treating doctor and start treatment.
Regards
I noticed that Vitamin B12 is also on lower side. Do you think I should take supplements for that as well or as of now it is not required?
If you are asymptomatic, no need to use vit b12
Detailed Answer:
Vitamin B12 is still under limits. And if you don't have any symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency, I don't think you need vitamin b12 supplements. That being said, if you are concerned, there is no harm in taking b12 supplements for few weeks. You can start meganeurone capsules once a day for 6 weeks.
Hope this helps.
