Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about slightly increased homocysteine.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question and your all reports. I can understand your concern.
Your all reports are almost normal.
Your homocysteine is slightly increased. But it is not significant clinically. If it is too high then it increased the risk of heart disease. But in your case it is just above normal so don't worry much about that.
You should take vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements to reduce homocysteine level.
Avoid smoking and alcohol.
Your complete blood count is almost normal. So don't worry about degenerated WBC. It is not significant clinically.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
