I just got back my blood test results and Im a bit concerned. My SGOT level is at 50, SGPT is 83, and total bilirubin is 1.26. Could you give me some advice on how to lower my SGOT and SGPT levels? I'm really anxious to understand what these numbers mean and how I can improve them.

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help lower these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you can take Silymarin. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce SGOT and SGPT levels. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and exercise regularly to support liver health.

I'm really worried about my friend. She had quite a bit to drink last night like 6 vodka shots and a few whiskies. She vomited then, which seemed like just from drinking too much. But now, it's the next day and she can't keep any food down. Whenever she tries to eat, she pukes it all up. She insists she's okay, but it's really concerning. Is this something to be worried about? Could it be serious?

Your friend may be experiencing symptoms of alcohol poisoning, which can be very serious. Since she is unable to keep any food down since this morning, it is important to seek medical help immediately. She may need intravenous fluids to rehydrate and medications to help with nausea and vomiting. Please take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment.
