I've just got my LFT test results, and I'm kind of worried because my GGT levels have shot up to 575. Plus, my triglycerides are at 281, and blood sugar levels from fasting are 168. I've been on Glycomet 500 MG Tablet SR twice a day, yet my foot has felt numb and tingly for the past year. I had sarcoidosis back in 2020, and my doctor had me on TB medication for 9 months. I quit smoking two years ago and don't drink at all. Other LFT parameters are fine. Could you help me understand why my GGT and triglycerides are high?

View allI'm a bit concerned because my recent test showed my vitamin D level is 10.4 ngmL. I'm an eggetarian, so I don't eat meat, but I do include eggs in my diet. I'm not really feeling any typical symptoms of vitamin D deficiency right now, but I'm wondering what supplements I should consider and if there are any changes I need to make in my diet. Could you help me figure out how to improve my vitamin D levels?

Hey, I'm kind of worried about my vitamin levels and wondering if it's okay to take vitamin D and B12 supplements at the same time. My recent test showed my vitamin D is at 7.3 ngml and vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. Do you think I should start taking supplements? If so, can you recommend any specific ones that might help?
With your low Vitamin D (7.3 ngml) and borderline low Vitamin B12 (89 pgml) levels, taking supplements together is safe, but consult your doctor to confirm; consider Nature Made Vitamin D3 2000 IU and Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 2500 mcg, but ensure you follow the recommended dosages and monitor your levels regularly.

I'm a bit worried because my TSH level is 5.4. Is this considered high, low, or normal? If it's not normal, should I talk to a doctor about it?
I'm glad you clarified the correct information. _Monocytes 13% with Normal WBC Count_ 1. _Slightly elevated monocytes_: A monocyte percentage of 13% is slightly above the normal range (5-12%). 2. _Normal WBC count_: Your WBC count of 7,000 is within the normal range (4,500-11,000 cellsL). _Cancer Concerns_ 1. _No direct correlation_: Elevated monocytes don't directly indicate cancer. 2. _Many possible causes_: Slightly elevated monocytes can be caused by various factors, such as: - Infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal) - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) - Autoimmune disorders - Medication side effects _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your test results with your doctor to determine the cause of the slightly elevated monocytes. 2. _Further testing_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Monitor and follow-up_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your monocyte levels and overall health.
