Question 1

Hello, I just had my routine annual blood work completed. My bilirubin was 1.1. Although the lab report states it is in the normal range, being 0.1 above normal concerns me. I have hypertension and take the generic form of Norvasc 5 mg and a low dose aspirin. I am very active, 38 years old, and work out 5 to 6 days a week with lifting, running, or biking. I have a healthy diet and partake in some social adult beverages. Should I have any concerns? All other numbers came out in the middle ranges.

Question 2

Hi, I have gone through a few tests. Renal function test values are low: Urea 14 (19 to 43), Blood urea nitrogen 6.5 (9 to 20), Potassium 3.3 (3.5 to 5.1). Liver function test: ALT/SGPT 13 (21 to 72), A/G ratio 1.47 (0.8 to 1.2). Can you advise if there are any issues? Thank you.

Question 3

Dear Sir, I have chikungunya since 2 days. My CBC report shows MCHC 34, Neutrophils 89, Lymphocytes 6, PDW 16, WBC 6499, and Platelet count 260000. My main symptoms are burning on the tongue and throat due to difficulty in eating. What treatment should I take and what is the reason for burning on the tongue and throat? Is it due to the virus or medication? I also have joint pain and sometimes fever.

I recently received a test report showing a high level of SGPT. I understand this may indicate a liver problem. What should I do next?

High SGPT suggests liver cell injury. Could be from fatty liver, hepatitis, or medication. Please take LFT, Ultrasound Abdomen and Hepatitis B and C Panel.
