Hey, I just got my Liver Function Test results and noticed some high readings: GGT at 243 and SGPT at 93. My ultrasound shows my liver is normal. What's going on here? My physician says everything's fine and no need to worry, but a doctor friend mentioned something called sugan in the liver. Could you help me make sense of this?

Understanding Elevated Liver Enzymes
- GGT and SGPT: These enzymes indicate liver function. Elevated levels can suggest liver stress or damage.
- Common Causes: Alcohol use, medications, or non-visible fatty liver changes can elevate enzymes despite a normal ultrasound.
-
Possible Reasons for Your Elevated GGT and SGPT
- Factors: Consider alcohol, medications, or liver stressors. Non-liver causes like muscle injury or bile duct issues may also contribute.
-
Clarifying 'Sugan' in the Liver
- Explanation: 'Sugan' might be a colloquial term, possibly referring to 'fatty liver' or 'steatosis', which can elevate enzymes even if the ultrasound is normal.
-
Next Steps and Recommendations
- Further Evaluation: Consult your healthcare provider for repeat tests or additional imaging.
- Lifestyle Advice: Avoid alcohol, review medications, and maintain a healthy diet.
- Specialist Consultation: Consider seeing a hepatologist or gastroenterologist if needed.

My husband seems to be dealing with what we think is hyperacidity. Every 30 to 40 days, he gets this stomach pain, and if it gets worse, he ends up vomiting. Also, hes been noticing some small swollen balls near his anal area that burst after a day or two and then bleed. He cant wear tight jeans or pants either because they make his stomach hurt more. We're really worried and would love some insight on what might be going on and how we can manage or treat this. Any advice?

I'm dealing with some gastric issues and have been taking sompraz 40mg as prescribed. I'm wondering if it's okay to also use an ayurvedic powder for this problem. Could you advise if this combination would be beneficial for me?
Take 1 teaspoon of Avipattikar Churna with water twice a day after meals. This combination can help in managing your gastric problem effectively."
