Brief Answer:
Lab results

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned about the above listed abnormals. The only true number here are the WBC and Lymphocyte counts which are at the low end of normal but not a concern. They are not so low that you are at any risk of infection. The other numbers you mention are all calculations from other normal lab values. Without seeing your entire lab results these numbers mean nothing. Please either take an image of you labs or write then all out so I can give you a true interpretation of your lab work

Look forward to see your results

Brief Answer:
Labs

Detailed Answer:
After careful review of your entire labs you are very healthy. The abnormal ratios have no clinical significance because the actual lab values were all normal. These ratios are only good if there are other abnormal values. So the BUN/Crea ratio is OK, The A/G ratio is Ok and the anion gap is normal. You have nothing to worry about here.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
