What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?

default
Posted on Thu, 28 Apr 2016
Question: Hi,

I got a regular blood check done. I am attaching the report. I notice that some readings are not in normal range. Can you please help me make sense of the report?
Just a little background. I am a Software Engg, sedentary work. I am 26 years old, Male. I workout at gym 6 days a week. Consume Whey Protein. Maintain low oil and low fat diets.

Thanks!

Brief Answer:
Normal report

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

I have seen your reports. It is a very much normal report. Only some minor deviations.

Mean cell hemoglobin and volume are lower than normal. Hemoglobin is normal. It is seen in iron deficiency anemia, so please get serum iron levels checked. If you have no symptoms of tiredness, then it can be ignored. If you have symptoms of anemia, then also check for thalassemia.

Now coming to your liver function tests:
Serum bilirubin total is normal (normal is less than 1.9 mg/dl according to international standards)
Serum bilirubin direct is higher. SGPT is slightly outside normal range. Maybe due to viral hepatitis. You can take syr liv52 1 tbsp daily for a month. Also drink cleaner water. Avoid any medicine that can affect liver. Avoid alcohol.

I would not be worried about these values.

Hope it helps.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I gym regularly. Since I am a vegetarian, to compensate for protein I take Whey Protein with water, thrice a day. I buy from XXXXXXX brands like NitroPro etc. I don't have hard drinks at all. Can this Whey Protein cause that? I have very less oil in food and take no steroids for gym.
Is the count something to be worried about?

Brief Answer:
Insufficient evidence

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

There are a few case reports mentioning liver damage from whey protein and related products. Please refer the link below:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/0000

Thus I will advise you to discontinue these as well.

The count is not something to be worried about at present.
