I'm really worried about my dad's liver test results. The bilirubin levels seem a bit off with total at 0.93 mgdl and direct at 0.35 mgdl. The SGPT and AST are at 74 UL and the SGPT ALT is 120 UL; both are higher than they should be. Is it something we should be concerned about? My dad enjoys two pegs of alcohol daily - could that be affecting his liver? What do these numbers mean, and should we be taking any steps to improve his liver health?

STOP ALCOHOL. BLEND DITE. TABLET URSODEX PLUS TWO TIMES A DAY AFTER FOOD FOR FIFTEEN DAYS. REPEAT TEST AFTER THAT. FRESH CURD, BUTTER MILK ARE BENIFICIAL. O.K, BYE.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Deriphyllin R 300 for her condition, but now she's having some issues with her stomach. I'm wondering if switching her to Deriphyllin OD 300 might help. Could that make a difference, or should I be concerned about any side effects?

Yes.
