I'm really concerned about my cousin's dad. He's dealing with mild hepatomegaly and a grade 1 fatty liver, plus he's got total lung damage. The doctors have basically said there's not much hope and mentioned we might only have as little as 15 to 30 days. Is there anything we can do or try? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm feeling a bit anxious about my upcoming hair transplant surgery because of my recent blood test results. They found my Bilirubin level was 2, and then my SGOT and SGPT were 102.70 and 136.2, which led to the doctor refusing to proceed with the surgery. They mentioned I need a certificate from an MD in medicine, but I'm confused about if these levels are really that worrying. Can you give me some guidance on whether these results are considered moderate? I'm not sure if it's safe to go ahead with the surgery or not. Looking for some help on what I should do next.

SGOT and SGPT are double normal level, it willl be difficult to give physician consent for surgery.
