Brief Answer:
Kidney disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Most of your blood test are normal.
Your protein level in blood is high which may indicate kidney disease.
I would advise you to do a CT scan of whole abdomen.
Your cholesterol level in blood is also high meaning you will need to avoid fatty food.
I will advise you to take tablet atorvastatin with your doctors advise to reduce the cholesterol level.

I have no pain symptoms or problems with my kidneys I am aware of. As I was told my weight was around 45kg which is low I thought protein would be considered good to build muscle and same with the cholesterol. Those results are surprising. I do not eat any processed foods, I do not eat dairy, lollies, sugars, sweets I do have fried fish but that's really it, I do not eat any red meat mainly and I have fruit and vegetable every day.
Given my weight my desire to add muscle mass and given my high cholesterol any advice for good foods to eat? Obviously the protein isn't working and I need to watch cholesterol so I guess saturated fats are not a good idea.
And also is there a natural alternative to atorvastatin as I prefer a naturopath over pharmaceutical drugs where possible.

Brief Answer:
CT scan of whole abdomen
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Your protein level is high and cholesterol level is low in your blood which both indicate towards kidney disease.
Firstly you must do a CT scan of whole abdomen to see the condition of your kidney.
I would advise you to lower the amount of sodium you eat each day by avoiding products with added salt, including many convenience foods, such as frozen dinners, canned soups and fast foods. Other foods with added salt include salty snack foods, canned vegetables, and processed meats and cheeses.
You must choose lower potassium foods.High-potassium foods include bananas, oranges, potatoes, spinach and tomatoes. Examples of low-potassium foods include apples, cabbage, carrots, green beans, grapes and strawberries. Be aware that many salt substitutes contain potassium, so you should avoid them.
You must limit the amount of protein you eat. High-protein foods include lean meats, eggs, milk, cheese and beans. Low-protein foods include vegetables, fruits, breads and cereals.
