Question 1

My PTT is 24.132 and PT is 19.8 with a range of 10.45-13.17, plus my INR is 1.66. What treatment can help bring these levels back to normal? Should I be concerned about these results? I'm scheduled for a minor hydrocele removal surgery is it safe to proceed with these numbers?

greetings. PTT,PT are raised thatis clotting time will be increased. It must be dueto liver problem, some hepatitis, or liver damage due to alcohol r NFLIVER damage. Please ask the hematologists. Though hernia is minor and short operation, but still ask hematologists

Question 2

I'm a 32-year-old male, and during a comprehensive test I found out that my Vitamin B12 level is at 1892 pgml. For the past 7 years, I've been taking a combination of methylcobalamin 1500 mcg with pyridoxin and folic acid because my homocysteine levels were high at 15.55. Can you help me understand why my Vitamin B12 level is elevated? Is it okay for me to keep taking these tablets, or could there be any issues with high Vitamin B12 levels? Everything else in my reports looks good. Would love your advice on this.

Question 3

I've been noticing bruises on my legs over the past couple of years, and the strange thing is that I haven't had any injuries or wounds. I'm curious as to why this might be happening. Could there be an underlying issue, or is it something common?

Urologist

Primary care physician
