I'm really worried about my dad's liver test results. The bilirubin levels seem a bit off with total at 0.93 mgdl and direct at 0.35 mgdl. The SGPT and AST are at 74 UL and the SGPT ALT is 120 UL; both are higher than they should be. Is it something we should be concerned about? My dad enjoys two pegs of alcohol daily - could that be affecting his liver? What do these numbers mean, and should we be taking any steps to improve his liver health?

STOP ALCOHOL. BLEND DITE. TABLET URSODEX PLUS TWO TIMES A DAY AFTER FOOD FOR FIFTEEN DAYS. REPEAT TEST AFTER THAT. FRESH CURD, BUTTER MILK ARE BENIFICIAL. O.K, BYE.

I was just diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and I'm a bit worried - can this be managed with meds or will I need surgery? I'm not sure how serious it is and what the best treatment options are
A hiatal hernia is a condition where a part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm. While many people with hiatal hernias don't experience symptoms and don't need treatment, others may experience symptoms like heartburn or acid reflux that can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. In some cases, especially with large or symptomatic hernias, surgery may be needed to repair the hernia

I've been having some stomach pain and my doctor did an endoscopy. He mentioned something about an h pylari or h capitalliary infection. I'm on this Sompraz hp kit now, but since I started taking it, I've been having really loose stools and feel like I can't control it. Is this normal? What should I do?
Given the blood groups you mentioned: - Mother (O+) - Father (B+) - Child (A+) _It is theoretically possible_ for the child to have the A+ blood group, as the ABO blood group system is controlled by multiple genes. However, it's essential to explore this further. To discuss this topic, consider consulting: 1. *Geneticist*: A specialist in genetics and heredity. 2. *Medical Geneticist*: A medical doctor specializing in genetics and genomics. Regarding DNA testing, you can ask for a: 1. *Parentage Test*: Also known as a Paternity Test or DNA Paternity Test. 2. *DNA Profiling*: A test that analyzes specific DNA markers to determine biological relationships. Some common DNA tests used for parentage testing include: 1. *Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Testing*: Analyzes specific DNA markers. 2. *Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Testing*: Amplifies specific DNA sequences. Before proceeding, consider the emotional implications of DNA testing and discuss them with your family and a genetic counselor if needed.
