I'm worried because my SGPT levels aren't going down, although my SGOT levels are normal. I'm thinking about starting Liv52 to see if it helps lower my SGPT. How long should I keep taking it, and is it actually effective for this issue? Any advice would be really helpful.

SGPT (ALT) levels may not decrease quickly with Liv52 alone, as it primarily supports liver health but doesn't directly treat underlying causes. It's important to identify the cause of the elevated SGPT and follow your doctor's guidance. You can continue Liv52 for a few weeks, but a healthcare provider's advice is key.

Can surgery is possible for superior mesentric artery syndrome Tell me about various treatment.I have consulted many doctors but not able to get rid from it.

Another surgical approach to treating SMA syndrome is a duodenojejunostomy, in which the compressed portion of the duodenum is released and an anastomosis is created between the duodenum and jejunum anterior to the superior mesenteric artery. This is the classic approach to SMA syndrome.

In my recent liver function test, my SGPT levels are at 51, while everything else is in the normal range. Should I be concerned about the SGPT being at 51? Also, are there any recommendations on what I can do or take to improve this?

I've had piles since childhood and now at 22 I still get pain during bowel movements. Is this something that can be treated with medication or would I eventually need surgery?

For piles, medications like fiber supplements, stool softeners, or anti-inflammatory ointments can offer relief. However, if pain persists, surgery may be needed. Consult a colorectal surgeon for options.
