Dr. Ila Jain Khandelwal

Pathologist

Dear PATIENT you for sharing your reports with me. It suggests the following things: 1. Your LDL Cholesterol in blood is high, which suggests hyperlipidemia. For this, you should have a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid fried, fatty and processed foods. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day for at least 5 days in a week. Your TSH level is marginally low, but the T3 and T4 levels are normal. Your lymphocyte count in blood is high, which can be due to some viral infections. The pus cells in your urine are also high, which suggests some element of urinary tract infection.

Dr. Suman Rao

In my opinion there is no need to take fixsyn. Get an An ultrasound done to see that the baby is growing fine. Get your urine examination done to rule out urinary tract infection. You can take the other tab, but only as and when required.
