I'm 29 and I've been going to the gym regularly. I've started taking Blong tablets, and I'm a bit worried. Could these tablets be causing weight gain and constipation?

I'm really confused about my recent health check-up results. My SGPT is 155 and SGOT is 180, but I'm not a drinker, so I'm puzzled about what might be causing this. All my hepatitis virus tests came back negative. An ultrasound discovered a grade 2 fatty liver, and my fibroscan is showing 9.5. I don't have any symptoms, just found out through a regular check-up. Could you give me some advice or suggest a treatment plan for this?

Based on your test results showing elevated liver enzymes and the presence of grade 2 fatty liver, it is important to address the underlying cause and manage your condition. Since hepatitis virus tests are negative, the elevation in liver enzymes may be due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). I recommend starting treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 10-15 mgkgday. This medication can help improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. In addition, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are crucial in managing NAFLD. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your liver function tests and adjust treatment as needed.

I've just gotten my liver function test results and everything seems normal except for my globulin levels, which are reported at 2.7 gdL. I'm a bit worried and curious about why this might be happening. Could you help me understand what this means? I've attached the report for reference.

no need to worry as If 2.7 gdL is close to the lower end of the normal range, it might simply be a natural variation.
