Dear Sir
1. Your vitamin D is low and serum folate is borderline.You should take a prescription of supplementation of these vitamins from your physician.
2. There is borderline increase in your liver enzymes and bilirubin. You need to keep a watch on them and can repeat them at about 3 months. This may have to be done earlier if you require a cholesterol lowering drug. I will tell you about that once you provide me relevant information as asked in next para.
3. Please share if you smoke.? Please also tell your usual blood pressure. IU assume that you do not have diabetes, high blood pressure , stroke , angina, heart attack or any other major illness ever. This will help me in calculating the need of medication for your cholesterol levels.
