Question 1

I received my blood test report. My cholesterol was high at 211, LDL was 153, HDL was 36, vitamin D was less than 10.5 (normal 75 to 110), and B12 was 320. I was given 60k vitamin D capsules weekly. After the third week, I started experiencing dizziness and discomfort on the right side of my abdomen. My liver and kidney panel were normal, but ALT was 71 (normal 30 to 65). My bowel movements are fine, but I have bloating most of the time, and my abdomen feels tight like a tyre, which is very uncomfortable. I am worried, but my physician said my liver and kidneys are fine and it may be just gas. He asked me to continue the vitamin D tablets and take an antacid in the morning. What should I do? Can I take magnesium supplements too, as I read that vitamin D requires magnesium? My right knee hurts a lot while coming down the stairs, and I also have muscle cramps. My major issue is lower abdomen bloating and dull pain below the lower ribs on the right side.

Question 2

I am not taking alcohol, oils, spices, or outside food since 20th November. At that time, my platelets were around 46k. Now they are over 1 lakh. Suddenly, my total bilirubin increased to 5. I started a Joinex related diet with more liquids, vegetables, and fruits, and I am still on it, but it is not coming down. Today the report shows bilirubin 6.49. What could be the reason and what should I do?

Question 3

Hi, my serum bilirubin total is 1.5 mg per dl and serum bilirubin direct is 0.6 mg per dl. Is there anything serious in my report?

My uncle is hospitalized and in a serious condition. Please review his test report and advise what can be done. He has a history of alcoholism and is currently in a critical state.

Without full report details, its difficult to confirm the cause. However, chronic alcohol use can lead to liver failure, electrolyte imbalance, or encephalopathy. As he is already hospitalized, continue treatment under specialists. Ask for detailed updates from his care team.
