I recently received my blood test report, and I noticed that some of the values, specifically Cholesterol, CHCM, MCV, MCH, and MCHC are slightly outside the normal range. I would like to understand what these results mean and if they indicate any health concerns.

Abnormal red cell indices may indicate mild anemia. Slight cholesterol variation is manageable with diet/exercise. Consult a general physician.

Dear Sir/Madam, I went for a basic lipid profile test to understand my cholesterol levels. My report shows total cholesterol 216, triglycerides 257, HDL 39.40, LDL direct 107, VLDL 69.60, and non HDL 176.60. Please provide some insights and advice regarding the same?

Doctor, please help me with a diet chart and let me know how to bring down my cholesterol levels? There is some variation in my lipid profile and I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Thanks.
