I'm feeling fit and have no pain, but my pre-employment test showed my SPGT is 75 and SGOT is 40. The examiner suggested I take Udiliv 300 twice a day. Could you please tell me how long it might take to get these levels back to normal if I follow a balanced diet and abstain from alcohol? I don't drink often, so I'm wondering about my career prospects with these results. Should I consider taking Liv.52 DS instead?

SGPT and SGOT are mildly elevated and you are non alcoholic. We need to rule out other causes. A detailed Medical history including your height and weight, diet history, recent history of fever and jaundice may help us to guide you accordingly. There are ways to evaluate it. You may need to get few investigations based on history to make a diagnosis. LIV52 is an ayurvedic preparation and so I may not comment on it. About udiliv it has got some specific indications.

View allMy mom's been having some pain in her upper abdomen for the past few days. It only seems to happen when we press around that area or if she does some unusual movements. I'm really worried about what's going on there. Could it be something serious or should we just wait it out?
Your mother may be experiencing some musculoskeletal pain in her upper abdomen. This type of pain can be due to muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend she take a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, she should consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He has a calcification in his liver that's about 6mm big. On top of that, he's been frequently getting cold and cough. He's already on medication for his heart condition and diabetes. What should we be doing about this? Is there anything specific we should watch out for or any additional treatment options we could consider?
Considering the calcification in the liver (6mm) and recurring cold and cough, consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for: Diagnostic Tests 1. Liver Function Tests (LFTs) 2. Ultrasound or CT scan to assess calcification size and location 3. Blood tests: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine 4. Echocardiogram (for heart condition) 5. Pulmonary function tests (for respiratory issues) Management 1. Monitor liver function and calcification size 2. Adjust diabetes and heart medications as needed 3. Treat respiratory infections with antibiotics (if bacterial) 4. Consider antiviral medications (if viral infection suspected) 5. Lifestyle modifications: - Healthy diet - Regular exercise - Stress management - Adequate sleep Potential Concerns 1. Hepatitis B or C infection 2. Liver cancer risk 3. Metabolic syndrome 4. Pulmonary embolism risk (due to calcification)
