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.

Udiliv 300 for Altered Liver Enzymes

Safety and Efficacy

Udiliv 300: Contains ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which helps stabilize liver cell membranes and promote bile flow.

Short-term use: Generally safe and effective for short-term use (up to 6-12 months) in patients with mild liver enzyme elevations.

Long-term use: Long-term safety and efficacy data are limited. Potential risks include:

Hepatotoxicity (rare)

Increased risk of liver cancer (theoretical)

Precautions and Monitoring

Regular liver function tests (LFTs): Monitor LFTs (SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin) every 3-6 months to assess treatment efficacy and potential hepatotoxicity.

Dose adjustment: Adjust the dose or discontinue Udiliv 300 if LFTs worsen or if you experience adverse effects.

Liver ultrasound or imaging: Consider periodic liver ultrasound or imaging studies to monitor liver health.

Alternative Options

Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist: Discuss alternative treatment options and long-term management strategies with a specialist.

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.

I'm experiencing some digestive issues where I feel the urge to go to the bathroom after every meal or even just a snack. It's really concerning me. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and how I might be able to manage it?

An eosinophil count of 5 is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically between 0-4%. Elevated eosinophils can indicate allergies, asthma, parasitic infections, or certain autoimmune disorders. Consult your doctor to determine the underlying cause. Remedies may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, or immunomodulators, depending on the underlying condition.

I'm taking Hepamerz tablets to help with my digestion, but I've been feeling bloated and uncomfortable in my stomach ever since. Do you have any suggestions for a different medication that might work better for me?

Its possible that Hepamerz is causing the bloating and discomfort. You might want to try digestive aids like *Dysflatyl* or *Spasmocanulase*, which can help with bloating. However, it's a good idea to consult your doctor to ensure it's the right choice for you.
