I recently got my full body test results back, and my bilirubin total is 1.81. It's a bit higher than the normal range, which I understand is between 0.2 to 1.2. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and what steps can I take to bring it back to normal?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my liver. I recently received an ultrasound report that says my liver is normal in size, about 14.0 cm, but there's a mild diffuse increase in echogenicity, indicating grade I fatty changes. Theres no focal mass lesion or IHBR dilatation seen. Should I be worried about these findings? What exactly does "mild diffuse increase in echogenicity" mean, and what are grade I fatty changes? Is there something specific I should be doing or monitoring because of this, or are these changes considered normal?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She had an ultrasound a couple of days ago, and it said her liver is bigger than normal at 159 mm with mildly increased echotexture. Theres no sign of dilated IHBR or any abscess. Most other organs like her gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and uterus seem normal, but she has been feeling nauseous consistently for the last 10 days and it's hard for her to eat. She has diabetes and high blood pressure for which she's on medication. What do you think could be causing these symptoms, and what should we do next?

Question

I'm dealing with erosive gastritis and a lot of acidity, and my doctor suggested I try drinking limestone edible. They told me to dissolve 1mg of chuna in a liter of water, wait for it to settle, and then drink the clear water throughout the day. I'm curious about what benefits this might have. Are there any contradictions I should be aware of? Could this lead to stone formation? And how long should I be doing this for?
