I'm looking at these bilirubin levels I recently got. The total is 1.79, conjugated is 0.57, and unconjugated is 1.22. Should I be doing something about this? Is there anything I need to be concerned about?

View allI'm really worried about my husband. He's been diagnosed with fatty liver grade 2 and he also has borderline diabetes. Sometimes, he experiences pain just below his chest. Could you please offer some advice or suggest what we should do next?
For fatty liver grade 2 and diabetes with occasional chest pain, I recommend medications such as Ursodeoxycholic acid for liver support, Metformin for diabetes management, and Ranitidine for chest pain relief. It is important to follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and monitor blood sugar levels closely.

Can I use Anovate ointment for a burning sensation in my butt during and after using the toilet? I've been really uncomfortable and I'm not sure if this is the right treatment. What do you think?
Yes, Anovate ointment can help soothe burning sensations around the anus, especially after bowel movements. However, it's important to ensure you're not dealing with an underlying condition like an infection or fissures. If the discomfort persists, consulting a doctor would be a good idea.

I've been dealing with GERD for 4 years and my gastroscopy showed a 40cm hiatus hernia. I constantly feel nauseous with a lump in my throat, and my stress levels are through the roof. Would surgery actually fix my GERD issues? I'm really hesitant about getting that 24hr pH metry test it sounds like it would be awful to go through. How bad is it really?
U need a proper assessment by a surgeon,, of your symptoms clinically to establish volume reflux and Gerd.. Gastro scopy has told that you hav a hiatus Hernia.. There is no need of 24 hr pH metry if you symptoms match with your gastroscopy.. What you need is esophageal manometry... A small miniature tube... 1/10 of size of endoscopy tube... Which you already hav gone through.. That wil establish whether you require surgery called Lap fundoplication and how much you will benefit from it. normally.. Of my pts who hav underwent this surgery... Those who had volume reflux did the best from surgery.
