I've been doing annual medical tests and noticed that my Bilirubin levels are always high. Aside from that, everything else seems fine. My recent test results showed a Total Bilirubin of 2.57, with 0.63 Direct and 1.94 Indirect. Also, my 25OH Vitamin D Total is really low at 8.99 ngml, while the normal range is 30-100 ngml. Is this something to worry about? Do I need to make any changes? I already practice yoga for about 10 hours a week. What do you think?

I've been experiencing dark red bleeding when I go to the bathroom, but there's no pain, swelling, or itching. It's just the bleeding. What could this be? Should I be worried?

The presence of dark red blood during bowel movements, without pain, swelling, or itching, could indicate a hemorrhoid or a minor anal fissure. However, it's important to consult with a doctor for a proper examination and diagnosis to rule out other possible causes, such as diverticular disease or colorectal issues.

I'm worried about my brother. His SGOT is at 80 and SGPT is 50. He doesn't drink much, maybe once a month, and he's on the heavier side. My dad had hepatitis B, but my brother was tested four years ago after my dad passed away, and his test came back negative. I'm really concerned about what could be going on with him. Could you help figure out what's happening?
