Brief Answer:
No cause of concern. Neurontin is not the cause

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

There is no cause for any concern in the results.
Neurontin is not the cause of the marginal increase in creatinine.
You may be having prediabetes. This can be excluded/ confirmed with a simple blood test HbA1c which is related to your average blood sugar over the last 3 months.

If you have any symptoms or further queries, do get back to me.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

With your clinical profile, the marginally low level of Gammaglobulin has no clinical significance and is not a reason for concern. Your urine is also low in light chain amino acids which is unlikely with a major issue.
It has relevance only if you have symptoms appropriate for the condition.

Do get back to me if you have further queries.
