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

Hello doc, I am 33 weeks pregnant and as per my kidney and liver function test report, a few things are out of range. Please suggest. Liver and Kidney Panel, Serum report: AST (SGOT) 258.0 U/L ref: less than 35.00, ALT (SGPT) 592.0 U/L ref: less than 35.00, GGTP 55.0 U/L ref: less than 38.00, Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 151.0 U/L ref: 30.00 to 120.00.

Question 3

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.

This may indicate fatty liver or early liver dysfunction. You should take a repeat liver function test (LFT) and an ultrasound abdomen to assess liver health properly.
