Question 1

I'm a bit concerned about the mild fatty infiltration of my liver and the multiple lipomas found in my recent ultrasound. Also, my blood test showed Bilirubin at 1.58 mgdL, SGPT at 57 UL, and SGOT at 36 UL. I drink alcohol about once a week and my doctor prescribed ME12 OD tablets due to a low vitamin B12 level of 232 pgmL. Could taking this B12 supplement affect my liver condition negatively? Would love your advice.

Accepted Answer

The prescribed ME12 OD tablet, containing vitamin B12, is unlikely to have a negative impact on your liver condition, as vitamin B12 deficiency can actually exacerbate liver damage; in fact, correcting the deficiency may help improve liver function, and the mild fatty infiltration of the liver and elevated SGPT levels may benefit from vitamin B12 supplementation.

So, my diastolic pressure is usually in the 85 to 95 range, though it mostly stays below 90, and my systolic is around 115 to 130. I've had an ECG done, and my lipid profile and urine checkup came back fine. But I'm still wondering why my diastolic i...

Considering your situation:
