Hello Doctor, I am suffering from high TG and hyperbilirubinemia since 2016. The doctor told me that since I am suffering from hyperbilirubinemia for the last 12 years, it is Gilbert Syndrome. For TG, some doctors are suggesting diet control and are afraid to give medication as TG is associated with liver. A few doctors suggested Fenofibrate but I am afraid to take it. Please suggest? I have attached my report with medication details. Please help me.

Gilbert syndrome is usually harmless and does not require treatment. However, if triglycerides remain high, diet and lifestyle changes are key. Discuss safer TG lowering strategies with a liver specialist.

I have a thyroid condition and recently took a health check up offer that included 70 blood tests. In the report, a few values came back outside the normal range. I would like to understand if there is any cause for concern. The specific values are, Absolute Eosinophil Count is 0.21 x 10000 per ?L (normal range is 0.02 to 0.5), Iron is 54.7 microgram per dL, LDL Cholesterol is 170 mg per dL (normal range is 85 to130), and TC/HDL Cholesterol ratio is also mentioned in the report. Can you please let me know if these results indicate any problem or if I need to take further action?

My mother recent tests showed aortic knuckle calcification, but only a small portion is affected. Where should I take her report, and which specialist should we consult for further evaluation and treatment? What is the cure for this condition?
