I recently got my blood tests back, and I've noticed that my uric acid levels have been high for the last two cycles. My SGPT is at 55, which Ive heard is elevated. I'm not a frequent drinker, maybe just once every couple of weeks, and there's no family history of this either. What do you think might be going on, and should I be concerned about these results?

To address high uric acid levels and elevated SGPT (55), consider lifestyle modifications: increase water intake (8-10 glassesday), reduce dietary purine intake (organ meats, seafood, sugary drinks), limit fructose consumption, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight; also, consult your doctor to discuss potential medications, such as allopurinol for uric acid, and to investigate the cause of elevated SGPT, which may include further liver function tests or an ultrasound.

I'm a bit worried because my ESR is quite high at 34. I'm wondering what this really means. Could it be something serious like cancer? Also, I have lichen planus on my feet, and I'm not sure if it's connected to my ESR levels. Should I be concerned about this?

It all started about a month ago with pain in my right shoulder, and then it spread down to my lower rib. It's particularly bad when I'm in certain sleeping positions.

I'm really worried about my mom. She just turned 55, and we got her general blood examination results back yesterday. Her ESR value is at 42, which seems to be almost twice the normal range. I'm not exactly sure what this indicates. Could you help me understand what this means and what steps we should take next?
