Brief Answer:
Hello. All reports seem good
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through your reports and all of them look good. Few of them as red cell count, are a variation from normal but has to taken as fine as it may vary from time to time and because rest all parameters seem ok.
A word of caution. Though vit D is normal, it will fall in the deficiency range if you do not take supplement.
ANA test is slightly above normal. I don't know, why it was ordered. If done just to screen for lupus, then ELISA is not the right method. It should have been by immunofluorescence method.
Kind regards.
Feel free to ask further.
