I recently went for a routine health check-up and everything seemed fine, but I'm a bit worried about my ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE or ALTSGPT levels. The result came back as 131, whereas I read the normal range is supposed to be between 21 and 72. My SGOT level was 52. I've heard that these tests are connected to liver health. Should I be concerned about these results? What are some effective ways to lower my ALTSGPT levels? The test was done using UV with P5P.

For your GERD and left-sided umbilical hernia, surgery is a viable option to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life. Surgical options for GERD include Nissen fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, and for the umbilical hernia, open or laparoscopic repair with mesh or sutures. Lifestyle adjustments like dietary changes and avoiding trigger foods can also help manage both conditions, especially GERD

I've been having ongoing stomach pain that isn't getting any better even after taking CYCLOPAM. I'm 68 years old and not sure what to do now. Any advice?
I understand your concern. Persistent stomach pain despite taking Cyclopam could indicate a more serious underlying issue such as gastritis, ulcer, or other gastrointestinal problems. It's important to seek medical attention immediately, preferably with a visit to your healthcare provider or an emergency department, to properly diagnose and treat the cause of your discomfort.
