I've been diagnosed with gallstones and my MRCP shows cholelithiasis along with a lower insertion of the cystic duct into the CHD My LFTs are off with SGOT at 115 SGPT 289 ALP 141 and total bilirubin 16 The MRCP also suggests chronic liver disease with a contracted right lobe enlarged caudate lobe and mildly irregular margins My doctor recommended a lap cholecystectomy but I'm worried about what's causing the liver disease and how it should be treated Can you explain the possible causes and treatment options

Gallstone treatment depends on whether the stones cause symptoms. If asymptomatic, they often don't require treatment, but if they cause pain or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is the standard treatment. Medications like ursodeoxycholic acid can sometimes dissolve small, cholesterol-based stones

View allI'm a bit worried because both my direct bilirubin and total bilirubin levels are high according to my blood tests. I took some medication for about 5 days, and everything seemed normal again. But then I had one beer at a friend's party, and now both bilirubin levels are elevated again. Also, I've been getting a light fever in the evening or at night. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Elevated direct and total bilirubin levels, which normalized with medication but increased again after consuming alcohol, may indicate liver dysfunction or sensitivity, and the recent onset of low-grade evening fevers could suggest an underlying infection or inflammation; consider consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including liver function tests, imaging studies, and potentially a liver biopsy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I've been dealing with this gastritis issue and taking Pan D twice a day along with Sucrafil as prescribed. It's been about a week now, but ever since I've started this medication, my heart randomly starts beating really fast at times. I did an ECG and an echocardiogram and they both came back normal. I never experienced this before getting gastritis, so I'm wondering if this is linked to the acidity or the meds I'm taking. Any idea what might be causing this?
Yes thats due to Gastritis,follow your doctors advice and consume bland diet with time you will be fine

I'm having some issues with my stomach. It doesn't clear all at once. I usually need to go back to the bathroom a couple of times in the morning and often again in the evening. Recently, I've noticed blood stains in my poop, and there's a lot of irritation near my anus area, making me think it might be piles. Plus, I've been farting a lot, and the smell is pretty bad. There are times I just suddenly feel like I need to rush to the bathroom. What do you think might be going on?
