I have a query regarding my husband, Mr. Ashok Kadam latest test reports. The results show decreased size of the lymph node, LDH is 516, GGT is 13, and MCV is 38.4. I am concerned about whether these findings indicate any tissue damage or are affecting cell formation. How can we address this and bring these abnormal values back to normal?

LDH is slightly high (may reflect tissue stress), GGT normal, but MCV is very low (microcytosis). Suggest checking iron studies and review cause of lymph node issue.
