Appears you have excellent lab outcomes. Whatever your dietary plan, exercising, supplements, etc., it is working, and no reason to change at this point. We can analyze your health plans more comprehensively via a virtual consult (www.connect@healthtap.com)

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the change from 5.2 to 4.9 is not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
