My husband has had diabetes for one year and was diagnosed with fatty liver 6 months back. Recently, he did HbA1c, which shows 5.5, but random sugar was 177. Lipid profile shows triglycerides 317 and HDL 26. LFT shows conjugated bilirubin 0.6. Vitamin B12 shows 1046. I am very worried about these reports. Please explain if it is okay to have such values or if any further tests are needed to identify the cause of these elevated values. If not, how can these values be lowered?

HbA1c of 5.5 percent is good, but random sugar 177 shows post meal spikes; dietary control is needed. High triglycerides (317) and low HDL (26) need lifestyle changes to reduce fatty liver and cardiac risks. Conjugated bilirubin of 0.6 is mildly raised but not concerning alone. High B12 (1046) is usually safe if taking supplements. Encourage low fat, low sugar diet, daily walk, and hydration. You can book Fasting Lipid Profile, LFT, and Fasting & Postprandial Blood Sugar after 3 months to monitor improvement.

I wanted to ask about ALP in a liver function test. My ALP level came out to be 141. Does this indicate any problem with my liver? Thank you.

I have been suffering from jaundice for the past 7 weeks. Initially, my bilirubin was 10?mg/dL. After 4 weeks, it decreased to 2.08?mg/dL, but now it has increased again to 2.3?mg/dL. My SGOT and SGPT levels have also risen. Could you please advise how to bring my bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT back to normal?
