I've noticed my SGOT is at 93 and SGPT is at 89, and it's got me a bit worried. What can I do to bring these levels down to a healthier range? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. Additionally, you can take Silymarin at a dosage recommended by your consulting doctor. These medications can help improve liver function and reduce inflammation. It is also important to avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet low in fat and sugar, and exercise regularly to support liver health.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get rid of a stone in the liver. Should it be done with laser surgery, regular surgery, or is there another method that works better? I'm kinda worried and would love to know more about the options.
Your vomiting problem for 8 months and elevated SGPT levels of 89 units indicate potential liver damage or disease. The normal range for SGPT is between 7-56 units per liter . *Possible Causes of Elevated SGPT:* - _Liver damage or disease_: Conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, or liver cirrhosis can cause elevated SGPT levels . - _Medication or toxin exposure_: Certain medications, such as statins, or exposure to toxins can damage liver cells, leading to increased SGPT levels. - _Other medical conditions_: Diabetes, obesity, and heart conditions can also contribute to elevated SGPT levels. *Cure and Treatment:* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of your elevated SGPT levels. 2. *Liver function tests*: Your doctor may recommend additional liver function tests, such as ALT or AST, to confirm the diagnosis. 3. *Medication and lifestyle changes*: Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may prescribe medication or recommend lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and toxins. 4. *Monitor SGPT levels*: Regularly monitor your SGPT levels to ensure they return to normal range.

Just got diagnosed with a sliding hiatus hernia and dealing with constant acid reflux. Do I really need surgery or can meds and lifestyle changes help manage it?
For a sliding hiatal hernia with associated acid reflux, surgery is not always necessary. Many individuals can effectively manage their symptoms with medication and lifestyle changes. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where other treatments have failed or complications arise, particularly if the hernia is large or causes severe symptoms
