I'm a bit worried about my recent lab results. My neutrophils are low at 46 and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 50. My ferritin is really low at 16 ngml, but my H. Pylori IgG and IgA are negative. Should I be concerned about the low ferritin or the imbalance between my neutrophils and lymphocytes? Everything else like WBC, RBC, and platelets is normal, but I'm not sure about these few things. Can you help me understand what these mean for my health?

Since your H.Pylori IgG and IgA tests are negative, there is no evidence of an active H.Pylori infection. Overall, your results indicate a mild imbalance in your immune cell counts, but nothing alarming. It would be advisable to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed.

I'm really concerned because I've been diagnosed with DVT in my left leg and my homocysteine level is 60.2. Does the high level of homocysteine directly cause the DVT? What should I be doing to manage this situation?

Elevated homocysteine levels can be a risk factor for developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). To help lower your homocysteine levels and reduce the risk of DVT, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking Tab Folvite 5mg once daily, Tab Pyridoxine 50mg once daily, and Tab Nurokind Plus once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
