Question 1

I'm feeling a bit anxious about my upcoming hair transplant surgery because of my recent blood test results. They found my Bilirubin level was 2, and then my SGOT and SGPT were 102.70 and 136.2, which led to the doctor refusing to proceed with the surgery. They mentioned I need a certificate from an MD in medicine, but I'm confused about if these levels are really that worrying. Can you give me some guidance on whether these results are considered moderate? I'm not sure if it's safe to go ahead with the surgery or not. Looking for some help on what I should do next.

Accepted Answer

SGOT  and SGPT are double normal level, it willl be difficult to give physician consent for surgery.

Question 2

I'm really concerned because my father's HSB Ag test came back positive, and we just got his ultrasound results. Most of the findings look okay, but it mentioned that the echotexture of his liver is slightly altered. Should we be worried about that? Is this something serious or just a minor issue?

Accepted Answer

your father's situation:

_HSbAg positive_: Indicates hepatitis B infection.

_Ultrasound results_:

1. _Echotexture alteration_: Suggests mild liver inflammation or fibrosis, common in hepatitis B patients.
2. _Other results okay_: Indicates no significant liver damage or cirrhosis.

_Next steps_:

1. _Consult a hepatologist_: Discuss the ultrasound results and determine the best course of action.
2. _Liver function tests (LFTs)_: Regularly monitor LFTs to track liver health.
3. _Viral load test_: Measure the hepatitis B virus's presence in the blood.
4. _Consider antiviral treatment_: If recommended by the hepatologist, antiviral medication can help manage the infection.
