Question 1

I had my gall bladder removed 6 weeks ago laparoscopically. I am taking a low fat diet and have had no problems till now. My report shows fatty changes in my liver and it is enlarged to 16.4 cm. My surgeon did not mention anything about it. I want to know the extent of this problem and whether it is worrisome. I want to know how to take care of my liver to reverse fatty changes, including foods to eat or avoid. Should I take any liver tonic? If yes, please recommend some. I am not taking any medicine currently. Lastly, can I take alcohol now in moderate quantity and occasionally. I am 23 years old, male, 5.10, 87 kg, with no diabetes or high blood pressure.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

I am experiencing nausea and occasional loose motions. My liver function test report shows SGPT at 23 U/L, SGOT at 29 U/L, total bilirubin at 1.4 mg/dL, direct bilirubin at 0.9 mg/dL, and indirect bilirubin at 0.4 mg/dL. Do these results indicate jaundice?

What does the ALP stand for?

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that's found throughout your body.
