  5. I'm a bit worried about some test results I got. It says I have two non-obstructing calculus in my right kidney, one measuring 3.5mm and another 4.0mm, located in the interpole and lower pole calyx. The left kidney also has two non-obstructing calculus, measuring 3.6mm and 4.4mm in the same areas. Should I be concerned about these? Are there any symptoms I should watch out for or lifestyle changes I need to make?

_Thyroid Antibody Test Results and Thyroid Function: Understanding the Implications_ Given your test results, here's a breakdown of what they mean and recommendations for next steps: *Thyroid Antibody Test Results* 1. *Elevated Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) antibody*: A level greater than 1300 indicates the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. 2. *Normal Anti-Thyroglobulin (Tg) antibody*: A level of 28 is within the normal range, which suggests that the autoimmune response is primarily targeted against thyroid peroxidase (TPO) rather than thyroglobulin (Tg). *Thyroid Function Test Results* 1. *T3, T4, and TSH levels within normal ranges*: These results indicate that your thyroid gland is functioning normally, and hormone levels are within the expected ranges. *Vitamin D Level* 1. *Low Vitamin D level*: A level of 12 is considered deficient. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in immune system regulation and overall health. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult an endocrinologist*: Schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist to discuss your test results and determine the best course of action. 2. *Thyroid scan or ultrasound*: The endocrinologist may recommend a thyroid scan or ultrasound to evaluate the structure and function of your thyroid gland. 3. *Vitamin D supplementation*: Consider taking Vitamin D supplements to address the deficiency, as recommended by your healthcare provider. 4. *Monitoring and follow-up*: Regular monitoring of your thyroid function and antibody levels will help your healthcare provider adjust treatment plans as needed. Please consult an endocrinologist or a healthcare professional to discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action.
