I've been having some issues recently after I went to the toilet a few days back. It was a bit of a tough experience, and since then I've been feeling itchy down there. Today I even noticed some bleeding from the area. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been having some trouble understanding my recent test results. My total bilirubin level has been over 1.5 and my SGOTSGPT levels above 50 since September 2015. I've had all sorts of tests done at MIOT, but everything came back negative. The doctors haven't figured out why it's like this yet, and they're suggesting continued follow-up. I'm just really concerned and would appreciate any advice on what might be going on.

Potential risks include: - Hepatotoxicity (rare) - Increased risk of liver cancer (theoretical) _Precautions and Monitoring_ 1. _Regular liver function tests (LFTs)_: Monitor LFTs (SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin) every 3-6 months to assess treatment efficacy and potential hepatotoxicity. 2. _Dose adjustment_: Adjust the dose or discontinue Udiliv 300 if LFTs worsen or if you experience adverse effects. 3. _Liver ultrasound or imaging_: Consider periodic liver ultrasound or imaging studies to monitor liver health. _Alternative Options_ 1. _Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist_: Discuss alternative treatment options and long-term management strategies with a specialist. 2. _Lifestyle modifications_: Implement lifestyle changes, such as: - Maintaining a healthy weight - Exercising regularly - Eating a balanced diet - Avoiding hepatotoxic substances (e.g., excessive alcohol) _In Conclusion_ While Udiliv 300 can be used for short-term management of altered liver enzymes, long-term use requires careful monitoring and consideration of alternative options. Consult a specialist to determine the best course of treatment for your specific situation.
