I'm looking at my Liver Function Test results and I'm a bit concerned. My total bilirubin is 15.2 mgdL, direct bilirubin is 11.6 mgdL, and indirect bilirubin is 3.60 mgdL. Plus, my SGOT is 96 UL and SGPT is 137 UL. What should I do next? Is there something I should be worried about?

View allI'm a bit worried. My SGPT level is 112, and I heard that's not a good sign. Can you tell me more about what this means and how I can bring it down?
Elevated SGPT levels can indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce your SGPT levels, you should focus on making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol, and following a balanced diet low in fat and sugar. Additionally, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid to help improve liver function and reduce SGPT levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.

I've been noticing blood mixed with mucus in my stool and had a capsule endoscopy that showed duodenal and proximal jejunal lymphangiectasia along with small bowel erosions. My sigmoidoscopy also found areas of hyperemia and superficial ulcers in the rectum. Earlier CT scans showed clumped ileal loops, but after surgery, the obstruction cleared though there's still mild wall thickening, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and a bit of straw-colored free fluid in the abdomen. Could this be IBD like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis? And what exactly is lymphangiectasia?
gastroenterology opinion is advised.

I've been having some trouble with my anal area lately. It feels like it gets really tight and ends up hurting during bowel movements. It almost feels like the walls are tearing. What could be causing this, and how can I make it better?
The symptoms you're describing, including a narrowing of the anal opening, pain during bowel movements, and anal tears, suggest a possible diagnosis of anal stenosis or anal fissures; consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a thorough examination, which may include a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve topical creams, stool softeners, or surgical interventions.
