I'm a bit concerned after getting my package test results from Thyrocare. It seems like my lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels are pretty high, and my CBC impression mentioned something about being hypochromic. I'm not really sure who I should reach out to for guidance on this. Could you point me in the right direction?

You should consult a General Physician for further evaluation and management of your high lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels, as well as the hypochromic impression on your CBC. For high lipoprotein levels, you may be prescribed statins like Atorvastatin (10-20 mg) to lower cholesterol levels. For high C-reactive protein levels, you may be prescribed NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (400-800 mg) to reduce inflammation. For hypochromic CBC findings, you may be prescribed iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) to treat iron deficiency anemia.

I'm really worried about my wife's thyroid levels. Her TSH is 12.12, T3 is 103, and T4 is 5.6. She's been having these mood swings, dry skin, constipation, headaches, and her voice sounds kind of child-like. She's 30. What kind of medication might help with this?

Your wifes thyroid levels suggest hypothyroidism, as indicated by the elevated TSH. She may need thyroid hormone replacement therapy, typically Levothyroxine, to regulate her thyroid function. It's best to consult her doctor for a precise dosage based on her specific needs and symptoms.

I've had gynecomastia since childhood and have all the symptoms. Is it possible to treat this completely with just medications or will I eventually need surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible

Can you help me understand my post-radioiodine whole body scan results after surgery for papillary carcinoma I'm a bit worried about what the findings might mean

A post-radioiodine (RAI) whole body scan is used after surgery for papillary thyroid cancer to assess for any remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells that may not be completely removed during surgery. The scan uses a small dose of radioactive iodine to detect these cells, and the results help determine the need for further RAI treatment
