Hello and welcome to HCM,
The lab results are as follows:
The increase in TLC is due to the recent gout attack.
There is increase in cholesterol and LDL. The two parameters indicate deranged lipid levels. Initially, dietary restriction of fatty foods is required. In crease the intake of fibre rich foods. Take light exercise regularly.
Get the lipid profile done again after a month.
If the levels do not come down to normal range, you need to consult your doctor for medication.
C-reactive protein has increased due to inflammatory process in body (i.e. gout).
An increase in levels of SGPT and GGTP suggest liver disease.
You need to get imaging study of the right upper abdomen.

Thanks and take care
