I had a complete body checkup a few months back and found that my SGOT and LDL cholesterol levels were slightly higher than normal. My report showed SGOT 36 optimal less than 34, SGPT 47 optimal 10 to 49, and LDL cholesterol 109.5 optimal less than 100. I did the same tests again two days ago from a different lab, and the results are SGOT 33 is 15 to 37, SGPT 63 is 16 to 63, and LDL cholesterol 110 is 70 to 180. I am not sure if the biological reference ranges given in both reports are correct, as they are different, and I am unable to understand if my current levels are fine. Can you please tell me the correct levels and if the reports are normal?

Your values are within acceptable range in the second report. Minor lab variation exists across centers. LDL slightly above 100 may require diet change.

Which blood tests need to be fasting?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a thyroid condition and recently took a health check up offer that included 70 blood tests. In the report, a few values came back outside the normal range. I would like to understand if there is any cause for concern. The specific values are, Absolute Eosinophil Count is 0.21 x 10000 per ?L (normal range is 0.02 to 0.5), Iron is 54.7 microgram per dL, LDL Cholesterol is 170 mg per dL (normal range is 85 to130), and TC/HDL Cholesterol ratio is also mentioned in the report. Can you please let me know if these results indicate any problem or if I need to take further action?
