Question 1

Hi Doctor. I am a 41 year old male. My abdominal ultrasound report shows that the liver is average in size, measuring about 16.1 cm in the right midclavicular line with a smooth outline. It has normal homogeneous echogenicity with smooth echotexture. There is an ill defined heterogeneous lesion in segment IVb V measuring about 1.7 by 2.4 cm with minimal surrounding vascularity. The portal vein is average in calibre with normal colour flow. Can you explain the cause and how dangerous this condition is.

Question 2

I am a COVID recovered patient (recovered about one month ago). I recently received my liver function test results, which show that AST/SGOT is 44 and ALT/SGPT is 84, both slightly above the normal range. Could you please advise if this is something I should be concerned about? Is it possibly related to the recent COVID 19 infection, or should I undergo further tests or treatment?

Question 3

My recent liver profile test shows a high GGT level, while all other parameters, including SGOT and SGPT, are within normal limits.

My wife LFT report shows, ALT: 574 U/L, AST: 363 U/L and ALP: 265 U/L. She recently had food poisoning and previously had her gallbladder removed due to stones.

Post cholecystectomy and food poisoning can cause temporary liver enzyme spike. Needs hydration, liver diet, no alcohol/fatty food. Repeat LFT in 1 week. USG Abdomen Advised.
