Question: Do a reflection to possible links with these pathologies, with the medical history and with nutrition. It is necessary to link/to make assumptions with the disease that the patient has, and his symptoms with the medical history of the patient, such as relatives who died from diabetes and myocardial infarction, or as renal failure and diabetes. Hypertension and high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes, angina and atherosclerosis, angina and oxygenation of heart cells, why he had a blockage at the level of the coronary artery. And also make connections of all the symptoms and diseases diagnosed with nutrition, for example, high cholesterol and consumption of meats, cholesterol and saturated and unsaturated molecules, cholesterol and liver (is the liver overloaded and why?), or why did he take the CBC test, what is the link of that (CBC) with diabetes or cholesterol?
