View allHey, I just got my Liver Function Test results and noticed some high readings: GGT at 243 and SGPT at 93. My ultrasound shows my liver is normal. What's going on here? My physician says everything's fine and no need to worry, but a doctor friend mentioned something called sugan in the liver. Could you help me make sense of this?

My father has multiple gallstones with a 4.7 cm one in the mid pole and cystitis changes can this be treated with medicine or does he need surgery?
In general, gallstones that cause symptoms or complications typically require treatment, which often includes surgery. While medications might be used in some cases, they are less common and may not be effective for larger stones or if symptoms are severe. Cystitis, or bladder inflammation, is typically treated with antibiotics.

My mom has been experiencing a really dry throat and dry coughing whenever she lies down to sleep after meals, you know, like after lunch or dinner. It's been happening about half an hour after she lies down. She doesn't have any chest burning or gas, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. If she drinks some water, it seems to help temporarily, but then the dryness and coughing come back after a while. Could you help us figure out why this might be happening and what we can do about it?
Your mother may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The lying down position after meals can cause stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus, leading to dry throat and coughing. To help alleviate these symptoms, I recommend she try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids after meals. Additionally, she can try elevating the head of her bed while sleeping to prevent acid reflux at night. If symptoms persist, she should consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
