Women should take the test whenever they are experiencing change in body weight and composition. Loss of hair and sensitivity towards cold temperature.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Total Protein (Protein, Albumin, Globulin, A/G) Test or Take a CELIAC PROFILE (TTG IGA ABS, GLIADIN IGG & IGA ABS) Test

I have lost 10 kg, but my skin has become loose and started to sag in my cheeks. My eyes are sinking in with dark circles around them. I drink 4 liters of water per day and have started strength training. My thyroid is at 6, and I am currently under medication for it. How can I make up for these nutritional deficiencies? I am a vegetarian. Thank you in advance.

What should thyroid blood levels be?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, As per my report, I have Vitamin D and B12 deficiency, with levels of 6.5 and 136, respectively. As advised by my doctor, I started taking injections for both vitamins. I have observed a 3 kg weight loss in 2 weeks. Could this weight loss be due to the injections?
