I'm looking at my lab report and it's showing my SGPT level is at 136, while the normal range is between 21 and 72. My SGOT level is at 69, but the normal range should be between 17 and 59. Should I be worried about this? Also, what would be the treatment for these levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Elevated SGPT and SGOT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To address this, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you can take Silymarin to support liver function. It is important to avoid alcohol and fatty foods, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to help improve your liver health. Regular follow-up with your doctor is recommended to monitor your progress.

View allCan acid reflux cause heart palpitations? I've been dealing with really bad acidity and it's freaking me out a bit. My GP suggested some tests like an echo, echocardiogram, and blood tests but everything came back normal. Is it possible that the acid reflux could be causing the palpitations or should I be worried about something else?
Yes, acid reflux can cause palpitations. When stomach acid irritates the esophagus, it can lead to discomfort and sensations that may make you feel like your heart is racing or skipping beats. Anxiety and worry about these symptoms can also contribute to palpitations. Since your ECG, echo, and blood tests all came back normal, it's reassuring that there's likely no underlying heart condition causing your palpitations. Managing your acid reflux through lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly medications as prescribed by your doctor can help alleviate these symptoms. If your palpitations persist or worsen, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I discovered a blood-red worm in my stool and I'm feeling quite worried about it. I'm currently anemic and taking iron syrup as prescribed, but I'm not on any other medication. Could the worm be related to my anemia or the iron syrup? What steps should I take to address this?
Based on your blood report, here are some observations: _Low White Blood Cell (WBC) Count_ 1. _Leucopenia_: Your total WBC count is low (3.83), which can indicate a weakened immune system. 2. _Neutropenia_: Your neutrophil percentage (34.9%) and absolute count (1.34) are low, which can increase the risk of infections. _Other Observations_ 1. _Lymphocytosis_: Your lymphocyte percentage (56.7%) is elevated, which can indicate a viral or bacterial infection. 2. _Anemia_: Your RBC count (5.57) is high, but your MCV, MCH, and MCHC values indicate microcytic anemia. _Typhoid Possibility_ 1. _Fever and throat symptoms_: Your recent fever and persistent throat mucus could be indicative of a bacterial infection like typhoid. 2. _Blood report_: While your blood report doesn't conclusively diagnose typhoid, the low WBC count, neutropenia, and lymphocytosis could be consistent with a typhoid infection.
