Question 1

My brother was experiencing stomach ache and indigestion about a week ago, and he noticed his stool was greenish in color. We consulted a doctor, who advised some tests. His report shows that his liver is 14.9 cm long, which is about 4 cm larger than normal. The USG report also indicates an enlarged spleen. He frequently suffers from indigestion. Please advise what could be the cause and the next steps for evaluation or treatment

Question 2

I recently had a liver function test. My ALP level is normal, but ALT and AST are elevated. I am also experiencing mild pain in the upper right abdomen, with no other symptoms. I do not consume alcohol, do not smoke, and have no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or serious family illnesses. My cholesterol is normal, triglycerides are mildly elevated, my weight is 79 kg, and my height is 5 feet 7 inch

Question 3

In general checkup my fasting blood sample report shows total RBC 6.61, MCHC 29.1 g per dl, RDW SD 49 fl, RDW CV 14.9 percent, platelet 150000, PCT 0.17 percent, BUN by SR. creatinine ratio 28.64, calcium 8.3 mg per dl, hs CRP 12.26 mg per L, vitamin D 21.93 ng per ml, vitamin B12 362 pg per ml, SGOT 71.7 u per l, protein 8.73 gm per dl, serum globulin 4.6 gm per dl, serum creatinine 0.66 mg per dl, triglycerides 161 mg per dl. Mainly I am concerned about hs CRP, SGOT, and platelet. Why are they abnormal and is it any danger? Please give me your advice.

I have been HBsAg positive. I had a blood test on December 12, and it was still positive. My wife is currently pregnant, but her blood test result is negative for HBsAg. Is there any danger to her or the baby? Please let me know.

Since your wife is HBsAg negative and presumably vaccinated, the risk is low. The baby will need the hepatitis B vaccine and immunoglobulin at birth. Inform your gynaecologist.
