Managing the variceal bleeding and elevated ammonia levels may involve procedures like APC, band ligation, or TIPS, and medications like lactulose. Regular monitoring of liver cirrhosis function and supportive care, including nutrition, are also crucial. Consult your doctor or a hepatologist.

Last 8 month before i have checked blood test, That result is showing hbsag is positive (Elisa test 4456). Yesterday i checked blood test Hbsag is positive and value is 5546). How to reduce the value and result is negative. If any medicine and treatment.

Male | 29

The HBsAg test is positive, which means you have been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). To manage this, it's important to follow your doctor's treatment plan, including taking antiviral medications regularly. These medications can help reduce the viral load in your body. Along with a healthy lifestyle, this approach can help control the infection and potentially lead to a negative result in future tests.

Sir liver me sujan and ant me infection hai

Male | 21

The liver is swollen due to an infection in the intestine, a severe condition. Symptoms include stomach pain, tiredness, yellow skin (jaundice), and fever. The causes are viruses and bacteria. To help, the doctor prescribed medications for the infections and suggested a special diet to support the liver. Following a doctor's advice carefully is crucial for proper treatment.

Sir/ma'am I did a cbt,lft,kft test My hb-16 (13-17) Rbc-5.6(4.5-5.5) Pcv-50.3%(40-50) Sgpt-72(45) Sgot-38.5(35) Ggt-83(55) Uric acid-8.8(7) It is elevated..I am worried about the results

Male | 22

Some of your test results are unusually high. This may also be linked to the liver or the kidneys performing under the best conditions. High SGPT, SGOT, and GGT levels are potentially associated with liver diseases, while high uric acid levels could be a symptom of kidney disorders. You may not notice any symptoms, but it would be great to visit a physician to know the cause and receive the right treatment.

What amount of s.g.p.t value to normal liver

Male | 18

When we assess S.L.T. the S.G.P.T level is being analyzed. A normal S.G.P.T level for a healthy liver is below 40 units per liter. Higher levels of the liver could indicate that it is not healthy. Signs like weakness, jaundice, or the yellowing of the skin, are some of the symptoms. Drinking too much alcohol or having a fatty liver are among the causes. To get better, drink less of alcohol and eat a diet full of vegetables.

I am veerendra every year in my office doing full body test I don't have any symptoms but report bulbrin is 1.8 which food can i control sir.

Male | 32

A high bilirubin level can be caused by various other liver problems, certain blood conditions, and other things. Follow a balanced diet to get rid of it. Quit the high-fat, processed, and sweetened food. So, include a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein in your diet instead. Regular water consumption will keep you hydrated throughout the day.

Hi i have recently gotten a level of 104 ALT on a blood test and my mom is freaking out I really don't want to have anything serious and i'm really scared. Could it be because of my inactivity levels during the summer? I recently gained a lot of weight since I did not exercise in the summer and I am now 5'8 and 202 pounds.

Male | 18

You're worried about your ALT level being 104. ALT is a liver enzyme that can rise when there's a liver issue. Inactivity and weight gain can affect liver health, often leading to fatty liver, even without symptoms. The solution is regular exercise and a healthier diet. Taking care of your liver through a healthy lifestyle is key.

When you have liver cirrhosis does your belly get hard and tight and uncomfortable can't eat everything taste nasty got a bad knee that looks a bad infection like someone ate his knee off bad...

Male | 56

In advanced stages of liver cirrhosis, the abdomen can become distended and feel firm or tight due to fluid accumulation (ascites). This can cause discomfort and difficulty eating. Whereas changes in taste perception and a knee infection are not directly related to liver cirrhosis and would require separate evaluation

Liver disease.But no symptoms. Today check it and getting caught.I have report also.

Male | 57

A symptomatic liver disease can be quite confusing. Liver disease has many causes like alcohol, viruses, or obesity. The LFT result must be reviewed to get additional information. Staying fit means maintaining a good diet, exercising and not using such substances, and thereby helping to manage liver disease. Consult your health care provider to offer the necessary advice.
