Question 1

Dear Sir, My blood report shows SGPT level of 70, urine is normal, and hemoglobin is 11. What should I do? I am taking the following treatments of Syp Winoliv for liver, Syp Multivitamin, and Syp Iron supplements. Is there a chance of joint pain due to high SGPT?

Question 2

My 16 year old son has been suffering from high fever (104F) and headache for the past 6 days. Yesterday we consulted a doctor. His CBC and urine reports are normal. Malaria and typhoid tests are negative. Platelet count is 1.75 lakhs, SGOT is 65, and SGPT is 70.
The doctor prescribed Dolo 650 (three times a day) and Mahacef Plus (twice a day). The fever temporarily decreases after Dolo but rises back to 104F after 4 hours.
What could be the reason for the persistent high fever and the increased SGOT and SGPT? What should be done next?

Question 3

My recent Liver Function Test results are as follows:
Bilirubin Total: 0.65 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10)
Bilirubin Direct: 0.17 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 0.20)
Bilirubin Indirect: 0.48 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10)
AST (SGOT): 28.5 U/L (Normal: 18.0 to 37.0)
ALT (SGPT): 47.3 U/L (Normal: 0.0 to 40.0)
Could you please explain what these results mean? Is there any concern, particularly with the ALT being slightly above normal?

These mildly raised liver enzymes are not usually a contraindication for surgery. Inform your surgeon and anesthetist. Maintain a healthy diet and avoid alcohol.
