Blood tests after Zytiga

Just got my husband’s blood work. Sharing below. Wondering if these results are after the zytiga and if so will the body get used to it. Input appreciated from this knowledgeable group. Will meet the nurse and will follow up with questions. Any particular questions he and I should ask her based on these results?

I don't know anything about those results. What I watched was liver function, ALT & AST. Zytiga can mess with the liver. Also because I had bone mets I watched my Alkaline phosphatate.

Just looked at my blood work, which places the results on a chart of the normal ranges, which are: Abs Lymph 0.7-5.5, Sodium 136-145, Chloride 98-107, Albumen 3.2-4.6. Husband looks OK except maybe reduce salt? I have no medical knowledge but don't think Zytiga affects those particular values as much as other values.

the low lymph’s is common and not a problem. I had it too. Assume it is from prednisone. It is very mild. The others are very minimally off. Suspect they will disappear with time.
