I've had a few tests recently and I'm a bit concerned about my liver results. I got tested on March 16th and my SGOT was normal, but my SGPT was at 83.5, and my platelets were 79000. When I tested again on March 17th, the SGOT was still normal, but the SGPT went up to 87.8. I just had another test on March 19th. I've been trying to manage things by drinking 23 liters of water and taking some supplements like Liver 52, Gaumulive, and papaya leaf extract. Could you help me understand these results, and if there's something else I should be doing to lower the SGPT level?

Based on your test results, Munish, your SGPT (ALT) levels are elevated (83.5 and 87.8), indicating liver inflammation or damage, while your SGOT (AST) levels are normal; your platelet count is also low (79,000); continuing to stay hydrated with 2-3 liters of water and taking Liver 52, Gaumulive, and Papaya leaf extract may be helpful; however, consult your doctor to discuss the test results, potential underlying causes, and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

View allI've been dealing with acid reflux and had an endoscopy that came back normal, but my 24-hour pH monitoring showed a DeMeester score of 17.6. Does this mean I'm a candidate for antireflux surgery, or do I have to stay on meds for life? Can I choose surgery instead?

I'm experiencing some issues and would appreciate your guidance. Since yesterday, I've been having loose motions and sour burps. Yesterday was toughI had a lot of stomach pain and just slept through most of the day, but the symptoms didn't seem to persist into the evening. However, today, as soon as I woke up, the loose motions started again with those same sour burps. Is this something serious or should I be worried enough to make a doctor's appointment? What could be causing these symptoms?
Given your situation, it's essential to consider the risks and benefits of immediate versus delayed surgery. *Risks of Delayed Surgery* 1. *Increased risk of complications*: A 17 mm stone is considered large, and delaying surgery may lead to complications, such as: - Gallstone pancreatitis - Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) - Jaundice 2. *Potential for stone growth*: The stone may continue to grow, making it more challenging to remove and increasing the risk of complications. 3. *Risk of gallbladder cancer*: Although rare, a large stone like yours may increase the risk of gallbladder cancer. *Benefits of Immediate Surgery* 1. *Reduced risk of complications*: Removing the stone and gallbladder now can prevent potential complications. 2. *Less risk of stone growth*: Removing the stone now will prevent it from growing larger and causing more problems. 3. *Improved quality of life*: Surgery can alleviate anxiety and concerns about potential complications. *Recommendation* Considering your age and the size of the stone, it's recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. The risks of delayed surgery outweigh the benefits of waiting.
