I have confirmed tuberculous lymphadenitis after an FNAC test. I have started my TB medicine. I have noticed sudden changes in my stool color, which is completely yellow. Is this symptom normal? Please suggest.

Yellow colored stool can occur due to Rifampicin, a common TB medicine. It is usually harmless and expected early on. If you have nausea, vomiting, or jaundice, inform your doctor. Continue TB treatment unless symptoms worsen. Do LFT regularly while on TB meds

My recent blood test results are as follows: Hemoglobin 11.5, ESR 38, SGPT 54, SGOT 48, WBC 12,800, Sodium 135.1, Potassium 3.0, Calcium 8.47, and Creatinine 1.0. Could you please help me understand what these results indicate and if there is any cause for concern?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing a fever of around 100F for the past 7 days, along with constant headache, body aches, and intermittent chills. I am attaching my CBC, LFT, platelet count, malaria, fasting glucose, and urine test reports for your reference. I am particularly concerned about my LFT values: ALT/SGPT is 256 and AST/SGOT is 225, which seem very high. Please review and advise on the possible cause and next steps.

Respected Doctor, I recently had a blood test, and my SGPT value is 64 U/L. Is this within the normal range, or should I be concerned?
