Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back with the reports

It looks like your daughter has undergone a comprehensive blood check up. Most of the results are normal which makes me wonder why so many blood tests were done in the first place. Since most of the tests were normal, here are my interpretations

1. Your daughter has mild hypercholestrolemia, this does not require correction with ant lipid agents as of now. It can be controlled with physical activity like swimming and jogging and also cutting down on food rich in fat like chocolates.
2. F2 Isoprostane is positive which means that at an older age your daughter stands high risk of developing diabetes. I advise you to keep your weight in check at all times and regular blood sugar tests once a year after the age of 20
3. Mild increase in MCV and MCH means that there could be an underlying Vit b12 deficiency, please get her Vit b12 levels done the next time. It is esaily treatable with Vit B12 tablets
4. A mild increase in CRP is normal if there was a previous history of infection like throat, diarrhea, etc. The levels at which it is now is nothing to worry about.
5. Kidney functions are normal


I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Brief Answer:
Toxicology screening

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back

The answer to the question you have in mind looks like an interpretation of the toxicology screen which has come positive for opiates. It is to know whether or not the opiod analgesic is being used under therapeutic dosages. It appears to be the breakdown of the number of units.

Protein in urine in a sub nephrotic range can happen with starvation ,physical activity, fever, etc. It has to be monitored to see if it progressive.
