Elevated levels of SGOT (also known as AST) and SGPT (also known as ALT) in a blood test can indicate liver inflammation or damage. Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist, for an accurate evaluation and interpretation of your test results.

I'm 30 years Male & suffer from Liver disease (Fatty Liver G-1) I have lose my wait 6 kg from 66( height 5'.5") How can i recover from this disease?

• Fatty liver disease is a condition caused by fat buildup in the liver (i.e., when fat percentage exceeds 5 - 10% of your liver's weight), which can be caused by alcohol intake and/or a high fat diet. Individuals who are obese/overweight, have poor glycemic control/insulin resistance, have metabolic syndrome, and are taking specific drugs such as amiodarone, diltiazem, tamoxifen, or steroids are at risk of developing fatty liver.
• In some situations, it is thought to be symptomless, but in others, it can cause substantial liver damage. The good news is that it is frequently avoidable or reversible with lifestyle modifications.
• It progresses through 3 stages which include Steatohepatitis (swelling and damage of liver tissue), Fibrosis (scar tissue formation where your liver is damaged) and Cirrhosis (extensive scar tissue replacement with healthy tissue). Cirrhosis can lead to liver failure or cancer.
• Laboratory investigations consists of Liver functions tests such as AST, ALT, ALP and GGT; Total Albumin and Bilirubin, CBC, Test for viral infection, Fasting Blood Glucose, HbA1c and Lipid profile.
• Imaging procedures such as Ultrasound, CT /MRI, Elastography (for measuring stiffness of liver) and Magnetic resonance elastography and Biopsy (for ruling out any cancerous growth and for signs or any inflammation and scarring).
• If a patient has a fatty liver, he or she should be checked for the entire metabolic syndrome, which includes diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, and thyroid issues.
• The best way to treat fatty liver is with making some lifestyle changes which can significantly improve your health which includes – Avoiding alcohol and High fat diet, Losing weight, taking medications for controlling glucose and fat(Triglyceride and Cholesterol) levels and Vitamin E with Thiazolidinediones in specific instances.
• Currently, no drug treatment is approved for management of fatty liver disease.
In order to prevent further progression of disease one can:
Maintain a healthy weight by consuming food less/minimal in in its fat percentage.
Follow a Mediterranean diet which is high in vegetables, fruits and good fats.
Exercise regularly for 45 minutes where in you can include combination of cycling with walking, cardio, CrossFit and yoga with meditation.
Restrict alcohol consumption
Consult a hepatologist near you for further evaluation and treatment and your dietician for advice on fat loss.

My GGT Level in Liver Function Test is 465. What does that means? Any suggestions or medicines to reduce the same.
Male | 40
High GGT levels for a liver function test, an indication of liver disorder, is a sign that should be given attention to. It means, aside from tiredness, that an individual might also get jaundiced-skin or suffer from bellyache. It is possible that it can be due to drinking alcohol, liver disease, or some drugs. To lower these levels, try to stay away from alcoholic beverages, eat a healthy diet and have enough water. Make sure to get more accurate answers by visiting a hepatologist.

Mana LFT test krwaya jis ma bilirubin ki value 2.9 aia ha . Mari eyes yellow han aur pashab dark ata ha muja kia krna chiya
Male | 21
It seems like you've had a liver function test (LFT) that showed a bilirubin level of 2.9. Yellowing of the eyes and dark urine could indicate jaundice, which is often related to liver issues. Consult a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist for further evaluation and guidance on how to manage your condition

Pricked with a needle after the patient. She was tested for antibodies to hepatitis C and accidentally tested for antibodies to the hepatitis B virus surface antigen after 4 months (result 2.38, at a rate of 10 IU/ ml of blood).1. Can I calm down a little bit about hepatitis B? 2. Can I do an express hepatitis test?3.If blood gets on the immediate skin, is this exactly a risk for infection?
Female | 30
Your hepatitis B virus surface antigen result is 2.38, which is below the normal threshold of 10 IU/ml, indicating you're likely not infected. So, you don't need to worry much about hepatitis B. If you want further reassurance, you can take a quick express test for fast results. The risk of infection from blood on your skin depends on factors like the amount of blood, any existing cuts, and how quickly you clean it off. Usually, brief contact with blood on the skin doesn't pose a high risk of hepatitis B infection. Overall, your levels are normal, so you can relax. But if you're still concerned, an express test can provide peace of mind.

Is there any solution to solve out this problem please guide Can I go for Plasma therapy to remove these antibodies from blood ....?

My suggestion would be to go to a liver specialist and do the necessary tests. Immune memory of HCV infection may persist. Not plasma therapy is advised to eliminate the antibodies to HCV. A hepatologist can refer you to more specialized care or recommend other treatment options.

Want a laboratory report analysis and advice. Urinalysis result shows proteinuria (++), trace leucocytes, mild pyuria and bacteriuria. Urine m/c/s and SEUCr are recommended to rule out UTI and nephropathy respectively. AST (SGOT) 85 ALT (SGPT) 84 GGT 209
Female | 33
Your lab report looks like it has some abnormal levels of liver enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT) which may suggest a liver ailment. Tiredness, nausea, and yellowish skin are possible symptoms. The causes can be related to the abuse of alcohol, fatty liver, or the intake of some medications. To tackle this, consulting a hepatologist is key for them to conduct further tests and advise on the most suitable treatment.

My father got liver disease from last 6 months after we removed galbladder 8 month before due to stone. That time doctor told having liver disease ,now they are asking to do liver transplant can you suggest is it necessary to do or any other option with medication can cure.
Male | 62
If your father has been diagnosed with liver disease following gallbladder removal, and the doctors are recommending a liver transplant, it suggests that his liver function has significantly declined. A liver transplant is considered the definitive treatment for end stage liver disease when other options may not be sufficient.

Sir there is too much urine in jaundice or fatty liver
Male | 18
If your body is getting rid of the excess substances, jaundice or liver disease is likely the reason for the excess urine. Symptoms can be characterized by yellow-colored skin, pain in the stomach, and fatigue. The causes may be infections or dangerous lifestyles like smoking and drinking. To aid the body, hydrate yourself with water and eat a balanced diet.

If the liver is not functioning properly, the person may feel fatigued, become jaundiced, see yellow skin and eyes, and experience pain on the right side. Liver disease can be the result of virus attacks, overconsumption of alcohol, or obesity that leads to metabolic disorders. Take care of your liver and you will be forced to follow healthy eating habits, do regular workouts, and limit your alcohol consumption.
