I'm really worried about my husband's recent LFT results. His SGPT is 119 and SGOT is 86, and his bilirubin total is 0.97. He used to drink alcohol but has stopped now. What could these values indicate? Should we be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
These elevated values can indicate liver damage or inflammation. Since he was alcoholic but has now stopped, it's important to continue with a healthy lifestyle. I recommend he takes Ursodeoxycholic acid to support his liver function and Milk Thistle extract to promote liver health.

View allI'm 23 and I've been dealing with constipation for the past six months, even though I eat well. I saw a gastroenterologist and followed their treatment plan, but the relief was only temporary and the issue keeps coming back. I take Meftal Spas for my period pain and read somewhere that this medication might affect bowel movements. Could that be causing my constipation? I also feel lazy all the time and have a thyroid problem. What should I do about this?
Meftal Spas, which contains dicyclomine and paracetamol, can indeed cause constipation as a side effect. To help with your constipation, you can try taking a stool softener like Duphalac (Lactulose) 15-30 ml once daily at night. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake with a supplement like Metamucil (Psyllium) 1 tablespoon mixed with water once or twice daily can also be beneficial. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and stay physically active. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your constipation.

I've been having slight chest pain on both sides for about a month, along with flank pain, and now abdominal pain on both sides for 56 days. My ultrasound showed acalculous cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and a 3mm kidney stone on the right side. Endoscopy revealed gastritis too. Is there any way to treat cholecystitis without stones? I really don't want to go through surgery.

I'm looking at my bilirubin levels and trying to figure out if I should be worried. My direct bilirubin is 0.4, indirect is 0.6, and the total is 1. Does this sound normal, or is there a chance I should be concerned about jaundice or anything else?
Based on your bilirubin levels, everything seems to be within normal range. Direct Bilirubin of 0.4 mgdL, Indirect Bilirubin of 0.6 mgdL, and Total Bilirubin of 1 mgdL are all within normal limits. There is no need to be concerned about jaundice at this time.
