What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?

Question: Blood tests attached of my 70 year old mother's recent labs. It looks very good for the CV results, kidney. We are concerned that many of the values say LOW
Brief Answer:
minor disorders...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
there are some minor disorders like a low potassium or low (and then normal) sodium, etc. None of them is important. What could be more important is the slightly elevated troponin value which requires cardiological assessment. The values are very low and I suppose that other causes (besides coronary events that is) have caused it.
Please keep in mind that no test can be interpreted without the clinical context in which it was ordered. Knowing more details about the reason that the tests were done and the patient's condition is essential for a more complete interpretation.
Kind Regards!
