I'm really worried about my friend, she's been diagnosed with a liver hemangioma and after getting some blood tests and a CT scan, it turns out there's a small tumor on her liver. She's also dealing with low blood sugar levels. Could you offer any advice or information on what steps we should take next?

f liver cancer is found early, is small and it has not spread, you may be able to have surgery to remove it. Surgery will remove part or all of your liver. If it's all removed you will need a liver transplant to replace your liver with a donated one.Some liver tumors make hormones that act on organs other than the liver which causes hypoglycaemia

I'm a bit concerned about understanding the difference between the HBsAg test done by the ELISA method and the ELFA method. My wife is HBsAg positive and she's been getting tested every 12 weeks. Her ELFA test results keep changing. If the percentage in the results is decreasing, does that mean she's getting better? Any insights on this would be really helpful.

Ideally there is no recovery from Hbsag if there is decrease in values that say viral load is decreasing but the disease is still there.

I'm really worried about my liver. My SGOT level is at 62.0, and my SGPT is 20.0. The doctor mentioned something about liver damage, and I'm scared because they said a liver transplant might be the last option. What steps can I take now?

I'm worried because my SGPT levels are high and I've been taking medication like Cirrosam 400, Obeticholic acid, Ursocol 300, and Evion for the past two months. The only one that seems to help is the Obeticholic acid. Interestingly, my lipid profile is normal and I've tested negative for Hepatitis B and C. My blood sugar levels are also within the normal range. On top of this, I've been dealing with hyperuricemia. Can you tell me how long it might take for my SGPT levels to get back to normal?
