Question 1

Hello, I just had my routine annual blood work completed. My bilirubin was 1.1. Although the lab report states it is in the normal range, being 0.1 above normal concerns me. I have hypertension and take the generic form of Norvasc 5 mg and a low dose aspirin. I am very active, 38 years old, and work out 5 to 6 days a week with lifting, running, or biking. I have a healthy diet and partake in some social adult beverages. Should I have any concerns? All other numbers came out in the middle ranges.

Question 2

I recently had my LFT done, and my test report shows higher than normal values for SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT). I would like to know the possible causes and how to bring these levels back to normal.

Question 3

I am 4 months pregnant and was taking 100 mg iron tablets with no issues. After moving to a new city, my new doctor prescribed 500 mg iron tablets. Within 15 days, my LFT levels have increased dramatically, reaching levels similar to primary liver cirrhosis. My recent liver function test report:
SGOT: 193 U/L
SGPT: 257 U/L
GGT: 65 U/L
ALP: 338 U/L
Direct Bilirubin: 0.60 mg/dL

When I eat anything I feel pain in my liver and stomach. I always feel tired and there is continuous body pain. I am attaching my recent report from a few days ago.
