Brief Answer:
Are you on any medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Your blood glucose is with normal limits. The Lymphocytic absolute count and TSH are all normal.

What strikes me are the abnormal liver enzymes and Creatine kinase. If you are on any medications, please let me know as medications to control high lipids can cause increase level of these abnormal tests. The most commonly used medications in that case are statins. Check and report if you are using or have used any of these. Also, report any medications you may be taking at this time to me.

If the cause is not immediately evident, completing these tests with a full liver function panel would shed more lights and help in picking clues for further investigations and identification of the cause.

I hope this helps. I hope to hear from you soon before making conclusions and recommendations.
