My son is having some problems. He is not eating properly and has white stool for the last three days. As the doctor suggested, we got the blood report. Please help me to understand this report. Note, my doctor said his report is normal.

White stool can indicate a bile flow issue, even if blood reports are normal. If the child is otherwise active and improving, monitor. If persistent, consult a pediatrician.

I recently did a liver function test, and my results are: Total Bilirubin: 1.38 mg/dL Direct Bilirubin: 0.37 mg/dL Indirect Bilirubin: 1.01 mg/dL AST (SGOT): 42 U/L ALT (SGPT): 78 U/L Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): 169 U/L Are these results serious, or can they improve with medication?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am not taking alcohol, oils, spices, or outside food since 20th November. At that time, my platelets were around 46k. Now they are over 1 lakh. Suddenly, my total bilirubin increased to 5. I started a Joinex related diet with more liquids, vegetables, and fruits, and I am still on it, but it is not coming down. Today the report shows bilirubin 6.49. What could be the reason and what should I do?

Hi, I am 27 years old. I recently had a kidney function test (KFT), and my report shows SGPT 135, SGOT 57, and bilirubin 2.8. Please advise what steps I should take next.
