View allI've been dealing with chronic gastritis since October 2013, but back then my liver tests were normal and my liver fibroscan didn't show any issues. Recently, my lab results showed total bilirubin at 1.46 with direct at 0.36 and indirect at 1.10, SGOT at 22.90, and SGPT at 28.30. Ive been taking Rekool10 for a few months as well as avas 10 since February 2015 for cholesterol and olsartan AM 205. Should I be worried about my liver or these test results? How is this connected to my ongoing gastritis problem? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything here.
. You are taking dyslipedemic tablet, anti hypertensive ,gastritis has to be managed with changed lifestyle and diet.. You have to avoid fatty foods , restrict salt intake.. Have buttermilk, curd rice in each meal... Drink lot of water.. Moderate physical activity is required for any human.

I'm a bit worried as I just found out that my AG ratio in the liver function test is 1.41. I'm also dealing with psoriasis. Can you help me understand what this means and what steps I should take next?
An AG (AlbuminGlobulin) ratio of 1.41 is slightly below the normal range (1.5-2.5), indicating a possible imbalance in liver protein production or increased globulin levels; in the context of psoriasis, this could be related to chronic inflammation

I'm a bit worried after my recent liver function test results came back. My AG ratio is high at 3.5, and while my albumin is in the normal range, my globulin level is low at 1.7. Also, my direct bilirubin is slightly elevated at 0.33. Most other test results seem normal though. What could all this mean? Could there be something going on with my liver that I should be concerned about?
An elevated Anion Gap (AG) ratio of 3.5, low globulin levels, and slightly high direct bilirubin levels can indicate several possible conditions. Since your albumin levels are normal, let's explore potential causes: *Possible Causes* 1. *Malnutrition or Malabsorption*: Low globulin levels can be due to inadequate nutrition or malabsorption. 2. *Liver Disease*: Elevated AG ratio and slightly high direct bilirubin levels may indicate liver dysfunction or disease. 3. *Nephrotic Syndrome*: Although albumin levels are normal, low globulin levels can be seen in nephrotic syndrome. 4. *Chronic Infections or Inflammation*: Low globulin levels can be associated with chronic infections or inflammation. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a Hepatologist or Gastroenterologist*: Discuss your test results with a specialist to determine the underlying cause. 2. *Additional Tests*: Your doctor may recommend further tests, such as: - Liver ultrasound or imaging studies - Viral hepatitis screening - Autoantibody tests for autoimmune liver diseases - Urine tests to evaluate kidney function 3. *Dietary Changes*: Ensure you're getting adequate nutrition, and consider consulting a dietitian for personalized guidance. Please consult a specialist to determine the underlying cause of your abnormal test results.
