Brief Answer:
Indications explained

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It seems Dr. Ditah is not available at the moment and therefore I am therefore taking it up.

I have checked the reports. Here are my inputs.
* The kidney function is compromised to some extent. This could be an effect of long-standing diabetes as indicated by raised HbA1c.
* The blood triglyceride level is raised and needs to be controlled with dietary restrictions as well as medicines like fenofibrate.
* Uric acid level is raised. If joint pain is present, treatment with allopurinol would be needed.
* PSA or prostate specific antigen is raised. It could indicate prostatic cancer or could indicate other prostatic problems. Prostate cancer on the other hands could lead to increased cellular destruction and thereby raised uric acid levels.

Clinical correlation is therefore needed. Feel free to write back.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Clinical evaluation and periodic follow up is necessary

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for providing the list of medicines that you take. However, this list would not suffice. You need to visit and stay under the follow up of a local physician who can evaluate your clinical presentations and correlate the reports and prepare a regimen. Thereafter, the can re-evaluate the response in follow up visits and can modify the regimen as per desired effects.

Nevertheless, feel free to ask me about health related queries that you may have.
