Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
First of all, Iron is low.
I would like you to know the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels as there may be anemia along with Ferritin and TIBC levels.
Urea and Creatinine should be low.
So do not worry about that.
Low vitamin D levels can be easily remedied with sun exposure and vitamin d supplements.
Globulin low means your diet is low in protein.
Modify the diet accordingly.
HS CRP cannot be relied upon in view of the anemia.
So overall you have deficiency of multiple nutritional factors.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem.
Please feel free to contact us for more information. Let me know if you're having any further doubts, i'll be happy to clarify..
Best of luck.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I asked for hemoglobin report which Is not there in report mentioned. ferritin and TIBC are ok though.
So I cannot comment on the anemia without that.
And so far we have not considered liver function test at all. Without that liver status cannot be commented upon.
Why are you thinking about fungal infection? You have not told me any symptoms. So I won't be able to justify a valid statement on that.
Fibromyalgia is an outdated term that was considered for fatigue and apathy after all tests are found to be negative. Again I have no symptoms from your end. So I won't be able to justify a valid comment.
You told me reports last time and again this time.
Without clinical history reports have no value.
Please provide a lucid query with history of the symptoms.
I would like to help you find the best solution for your problem.
Best of luck.
