Brief Answer:
Life style changes & Follow up needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The CT angiogram is unremarkable….
Nothing need be done for that
Blocks 70 % or more only need further assessment and assistance - like invasive angiogram with a view for intervention

Febutaz contains: Febuxostat and is controlling your serum uric acid well

Storfib is a Fibrate (Fenofibrate) – your doctor has chosen instead of statin – because of mildly elevated liver enzymes.

One should aim for an LDL-Cholesterol of 100 or less / 70 is ideal
You need Life styles changes in addition – Diet and Exercise…
LDL is bad cholesterol – lower, the better.
In the absence of any other risk factor 100 is ideal for LDL-C. In the presence of ischemia, 70 should be the aim.

Keep your weight to normal / even a little less
Quit smoking, if you are a smoker
Do regular EXERCISE – say walking or jogging - 30 minutes a day / at least 5 days in a week.
Healthy FOOD is a must. Avoid saturated fats – coconut oil, palm oil, butter, ghee, full cream milk...Avoid junk foods in particular – French fries have palm oil / Pizza has cheese / XXXXXXX sweets are made in ghee.../ Change to Poly-un-saturated oil – like sun flower oil. / Include Mono-un-saturated oil – Olive oil. / A good Dietician will be of great help….

Liver function needs just to be watched. Values 3 or more times the upper limit need further investigations.
Nothing need be done at present

Udiliv is Ursodeoxycholic Acid and is especially useful for gallstones. It helps to dissolve the stone by reducing the amount of cholesterol released by liver into bile

Good luck
God bless you
