I am in the 8th month of my pregnancy. Last week, I noticed itching on my wrists, so my doctor advised me to do a liver function test. My test report came back slightly abnormal. I want to understand what this could mean and what the problem might be.

Itching and raised LFT in late pregnancy could suggest cholestasis. Follow up with your gynecologist for bile acid tests and close monitoring.

I recently had a blood test, and my SGOT level came out as 44, while the normal range is 0 to 40. What does this elevated SGOT indicate, and should I be concerned?

My current blood report shows a liver infection, and I have started the prescribed medication as per the doctor advice. However, I am still experiencing weakness and body pain. When I wake up, I feel pain in my hands and legs.

Hi Doctor, My recent reports show the following: Blood Report: RDWCV: 14.6 RBCs: Normocytic, Normochromic Liver Function Test: ALT and SGPT: 73.0 U per L A and G Ratio: 1.8. Could you please guide me on what these results indicate, whether any treatment or medication is required, and if further evaluation is needed? Thank you.
