-     Globulin – normal.
-     Albumin : globulin ratio – within normal limit.
-     High levels of SGPT and Gamma glutamyl transferase.
-

2.     Take good, nutritious diet with mild oil and fat.
3.     If you are alcoholic then stop it immediately.

Hello,
Thank you for writing back.

After a thorough checking, the following abnormalities are seen to be present except those mentioned already -
1. Cholesterol total is increased.
2. LDL cholesterol is increased.
3. Triglyceride is highly increased.
4. TC / HDL cholesterol is increased.
5. TSH is very much increased.
6. Mildly high lymphocytes are present.

About the lipid profile abnormality, you have to do
1. Daily minimum 30 minutes walking.
2. Low fat diet.
3. You have to take atorvastatin and fenofibrate group of drug to lower this level. Consult with your treating doctor for dosing and frequency.

About the thyroid abnormality , you have to consult an endocrinologist for starting thyroxine hormone supplements as early as possible. A test of anti TPO antibody should be done , followed by an ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland to rule out any other possibility.

For the increased lymphocytes, you have to do a repeat test to search for presence of any abnormal cells in blood.

Regards.
