I'm a smoker and I also drink occasionally. I've been doing this for quite some time, and I'm concerned about keeping my liver healthy. I've heard about Liv 52 and was wondering if taking it once daily could help maintain my liver health. Is that something you would recommend, or is there something else I should consider?

Liv 52 can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy liver, especially if you are a smoker and occasional drinker. The recommended dosage for Liv 52 is usually 1-2 tablets twice daily. It contains natural ingredients that can help protect the liver and improve its function. However, it is important to also quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to further support your liver health.

I'm a bit concerned about taking Psorid 50 mg because I recently had gallbladder stones detected and removed, and now they've found HCV, though my RNA quantification came back negative. Could this medication affect my liver in any way?

Hey, I'm a bit worried about something. My liver has been described as a "fetty lever" or something like that. I'm not sure what this means, but should I be concerned about it? Is it something that could be harmful to my liver? And if it is, what kind of treatment or steps should I be looking into to address it? I'm just trying to figure out how serious this is. Thanks!

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.
