Sir, my direct bilirubin is high and I have occasional right rib cage pain and yellow stool. I have tested LFT and in that report direct bilirubin is high, GGT and ALP are normal, and AST and ALT are slightly high. What can this be? Is it bile acid synthesis disorder where direct bilirubin is high with normal GGT and ALP? I am attaching all my reports including fibroscan which shows 8.12 kPa.

Could be mild cholestasis or Gilberts syndrome. Not typically bile acid synthesis disorder. Repeat LFTs, monitor symptoms. Liver diet, hydration recommended.

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a Serum Bile Acid Test Test

Hello my father is infected with covid and has mild symptoms. The doctors said his blood report is ok but mentioned he has liver inflammation and advised admission. Please give directions?

Hello, I need an urgent consultation for my mother who is suffering from acute stomach pain. She is currently on sedatives prescribed by an emergency doctor at a nearby hospital. I have attached reports showing that she is suffering from pancreatitis, gallbladder inflammation, and liver issues. The doctor has advised admitting her as soon as possible. Since it is Diwali season, I am concerned about whether she will receive proper care in the hospital. I am considering admitting her tomorrow. Please advise on the severity of her condition and whether it is safe to wait until tomorrow? Her LFT report shows SGPT 169, SGOT 186, alkaline phosphatase 150, and GGT 117, all significantly above normal range. I am looking forward to your suggestion. Thank you.
