I'm trying to figure out the best way to get rid of a stone in the liver. Should it be done with laser surgery, regular surgery, or is there another method that works better? I'm kinda worried and would love to know more about the options.

Your vomiting problem for 8 months and elevated SGPT levels of 89 units indicate potential liver damage or disease. The normal range for SGPT is between 7-56 units per liter .
Possible Causes of Elevated SGPT:
- Liver damage or disease: Conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, or liver cirrhosis can cause elevated SGPT levels .
- Medication or toxin exposure: Certain medications, such as statins, or exposure to toxins can damage liver cells, leading to increased SGPT levels.
- Other medical conditions: Diabetes, obesity, and heart conditions can also contribute to elevated SGPT levels.
Cure and Treatment:
- Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of your elevated SGPT levels.
- Liver function tests: Your doctor may recommend additional liver function tests, such as ALT or AST, to confirm the diagnosis.
- Medication and lifestyle changes: Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may prescribe medication or recommend lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and toxins.
- Monitor SGPT levels: Regularly monitor your SGPT levels to ensure they return to normal range.

My 67-year-old mom has multiple gallstones with the biggest being 8mm. She was told surgery isn't an option because of serious lung problems. She gets pain sometimes and takes painkillers. What else can be done for patients like her who can't have surgery
In high-risk surgical cases, dietary fat control and symptom-based management are options for gallstones; ERCP may be considered in case of complications.
