I'm really worried about my friend who's been on TB meds for about 20 days now. Suddenly, he started having nonstop vomiting, can't eat or drink, and is super dehydrated. The doctor suggested stopping his TB pills for a week. They're giving him Taxim injections for the next 5 to 6 days along with some other injections. Do you think this break in TB treatment is something we should be concerned about?

View allI'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'm a bit concerned about my bilirubin level because it's been at 1.4 for the last 5 years, but I never paid much attention to it, and my doctor hasn't brought it up either. I take ursocol tablets daily. Do you know why my bilirubin level might be staying the same for so long?
A persistently elevated bilirubin level of 1.4 mgdL for 5 years, despite taking Ursocol (Ursodeoxycholic acid), may indicate a underlying condition such as Gilbert's syndrome, a benign liver condition, or other liver issues like primary biliary cirrhosis; consult your doctor to discuss further testing, such as liver function tests, ultrasound,

I've got a sgpt level of 52 and was told my liver is fatty grade 1. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to be on any medication?
NOT TO WORRY CHANG IN DIET N LIFE STYLE CAN REVERT ALL. NO BAD HABITS, LIGHT DIET WITH LEAST OIL N SPICES, WALKING BRICK FOR 40 MIN FIVE DAYS IN A WEEK HELPS ALOT. PLENTY OF GLUCOSE, BUTTER MILK FRESH, FRESH CURD NIMBUPANI MOSAMBI JUICE WATERMELON ETC ARE VERY BENIFICIAL.
