Brief Answer:
Following causes to be excluded...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your lab reports, and I have noticed that your indirect bilirubin is increased. This makes me think over :
- hemolysis
- medications
- Gilbert's syndrome (if you have always increased bilirubin level)
- anemia
- deficiency of vit.b12
At this point, I suggest to run a complete blood work to exclude anemia and measure the vit.b12 levels in blood.
Your cholesterol level is slightly elevated; I advise lifestyle and diet changes.
All the best!
