I recently had a general blood test, and most of my results look good. However, I'm a bit worried as my ALANINE TRANSAMINASE (SGPT) level is at 56.2 UI. Is this something I should be concerned about, or do you have any advice on what I should do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to feel concerned, but an SGPT level of 56.2 UI is slightly elevated and may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation, especially if there are any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal discomfort, to rule out liver-related conditions.

View allI've just got my Fibroscan report and it says the median stiffness is 7.9 Kpa. I'm really confused about what this means. Does this indicate I've got fatty liver? Could you help me understand this better and let me know what steps I should take next?
It is a measure of liver stiffness, with higher values suggesting more advanced liver fibrosis. This does not necessarily mean it is due to fatty liver, as there are various causes of liver fibrosis. Based on the fibroscan report, further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of liver fibrosis. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan. Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, medication, or other interventions depending on the underlying cause of liver fibrosis.

I'm dealing with a grade 2 fatty liver, and I'm currently on medication for it. But I'm really worried because if I stop my meds even for a day, I've noticed the pain comes back. It's on the left side just below my ribs, and it's usually triggered by gas buildup. I'm taking Udiliv 150mg, Eiref, and Fibator. Do you think these meds are right for me? And how long does it usually take to get better with this condition?
It seems like you are on the right track with your current medication for fatty liver grade 2. Udiliv 150mg is a good choice to help improve liver function and Eiref can help with gas build up. Fibator is also commonly used to manage cholesterol levels which can benefit liver health. It is important to continue taking these medications as prescribed by your doctor. As for the time it will take to cure you, it is important to understand that fatty liver disease is a chronic condition that may require long-term management. The goal of treatment is to prevent progression of the disease and manage symptoms. It is best to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm a bit worried because after eating spicy food, I noticed some black, sand-like stuff in my mouth. It doesn't taste good and I'm not sure what it is. I used to smoke but quit about four years ago. I'm concerned it might be something serious, like throat cancer. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal?
it is normal
