Gallbladder stones, especially multiple 8mm ones, usually do not dissolve on their own and can cause pain or complications. Non-surgical options like oral bile acid pills (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) have limited effectiveness and are rarely successful for stones this size. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) remains the most effective and permanent treatment.

I'm really concerned because my SGPT level is at 370. Is this something that can be treated? Could you let me know what kind of medicine I should be taking and how often, to bring it back to the normal range?

To reduce it to normal range, you can take medications like Ursocol, Liv 52, and HepaMerz. These medications can help in improving liver function. It is important to consult a doctor for proper dosage and duration of treatment.

I'm really worried about my recent test results. My SGPT is at 82, my SGOT is normal, but my GGT is 158, and my LDH is 458. On top of that, my triglycerides are at 178. What does this all mean, and what should I do next?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm having some issues with my stool recently. It's been a bit sticky and somewhat loose, and I've also noticed a burning sensation when I go. I'm having to go to the bathroom 3 to 4 times a day, and this is happening even though I've cut down on spicy foods. I'm wondering if this could be related to an amoebic infection since I've been experiencing some sensation in my urine for which I'm getting treatment. Do you have any advice or thoughts on what might be going on?
