I've just found out that my SGOTSGPT ratio is 2.3, and I read that it should be somewhere between 0.7 and 1.4. I'm really concerned about what this means for my health. Can you tell me what kind of treatment I might need? Are there specific foods I should steer clear of, and should I stop drinking alcohol entirely? How serious is this ratio for my liver? Also, I've got a vitamin D level of 14.21 ngml. Is that something to worry about?

A high SGOTSGPT ratio can indicate liver damage. To help lower your ratio and support your liver health, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you should avoid fatty and fried foods, processed foods, and excessive sugar intake. It is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption as it can further damage the liver. With a ratio of 2.3, it is concerning and indicates potential liver issues that need to be addressed. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Your low vitamin D level of 14.21ngml also needs attention, and you can take Vitamin D3 supplements 1000 IU daily to improve your levels.

my wife has a gallstone and we're really worried about it. should we see a specialist or can a regular doctor handle this? is surgery the only way to treat it or are there medicines that can dissolve the stones? what are our options here

It's understandable to be worried about gallstones. While a regular doctor can diagnose and manage gallstones, a gastroenterologist or surgeon specializing in gallbladder issues can offer specialized treatment options. Surgery (cholecystectomy) is often recommended for symptomatic gallstones, but medication and other procedures may be considered.

My mom's gallbladder shows an 11mm size but she has no symptoms at all should we consider surgery or can it resolve on its own? What are the best ways to clear the gallbladder naturally?

If your mom has an 11 mm gallstone but no symptoms (asymptomatic), surgery is usually not needed right away. Many people live without issues, but regular monitoring is advised. Gallstones typically don't dissolve on their own, and "natural" remedies are not proven to clear them. Surgery is considered only if symptoms develop.
