I'm a bit concerned about my bilirubin level because it's been at 1.4 for the last 5 years, but I never paid much attention to it, and my doctor hasn't brought it up either. I take ursocol tablets daily. Do you know why my bilirubin level might be staying the same for so long?

A persistently elevated bilirubin level of 1.4 mgdL for 5 years, despite taking Ursocol (Ursodeoxycholic acid), may indicate a underlying condition such as Gilbert's syndrome, a benign liver condition, or other liver issues like primary biliary cirrhosis; consult your doctor to discuss further testing, such as liver function tests, ultrasound,

View allI recently got my liver function test results and I'm a bit worried because my SGPT level came back at 49. Is that considered high? Should I be looking into any kind of treatment for this? Also, my SGOT level is 34. Could you help me understand if these numbers are something to be concerned about?
Your SGPT (49) is slightly elevated, as normal levels are typically below 40 UL. SGOT (34) is within the normal range. It's important to discuss this result with your doctor to understand the underlying cause, but mild elevations may not always require treatment. A healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise can help maintain liver health.

My 63-year-old mom has small cystic lesions in the caudate lobe of her liver. Do these always require surgery or can they be treated with medication? I'm worried about the next steps for her.
Small liver cysts, especially in the caudate lobe, are often asymptomatic and don't require treatment. They are typically benign, and only large or symptomatic cysts may need intervention. Surgery is not usually needed for small, simple cysts.
