Question 1

Hello, my blood report shows SGOT 67. Is this a serious concern? Please suggest what I should do. I had earlier posted a question about a dry cough for the last month, and the doctor advised X-ray and blood tests. Everything came normal except SGOT elevated to 67. I work in the merchant navy, and if this does not get corrected, I may lose my job as I need to be medically fit every time I go on the ship. Please help. I am very worried about my health and job. Someone said there might be swelling in the liver, which is why the SGOT is 67.

Question 2

I recently reviewed my blood tests and found the following issues dyslipidemia, elevated liver enzymes, grade 2 fatty liver on USG, and high uric acid. After one month of medication, my follow up report shows total cholesterol at 97, liver enzymes mostly normal (ALT slightly high but lower than before). However, I am experiencing significant weight loss and muscle loss, my current weight is 65 kg, down from 73 kg two months ago. My doctor has diagnosed these as post COVID effects, although I was asymptomatic and unaware of when I was infected.

Question 3

I am experiencing frequent urination at night, but my urine test report is normal. My LFT report shows jaundice.

My HBsAg quantitative value is 18. What does it mean? My report shows HBsAg quantitative positive value 11.84, HBeAg negative, anti HBe positive value 0.01, and anti HBC IgM negative value 0. Please explain this report.

Your HBsAg and anti HBe positivity indicate chronic hepatitis B carrier status. You may not be infectious, but monitoring is needed. Please do the required HBV DNA and liver function tests for complete assessment.
