I would suggest refraining from nonvegetarian foods until your liver has 100% recovered from the rupture. While recovering, it is also important to eat a balanced and healthy diet that will help in the liver’s recovery. Talk to your doctor for guidelines

In my liver test SGPT is 42 and GAMMA GT is 57 more than normal range
Dr. Gaurav Gupta
Surgical Gastroenterology
Answered on 23rd May '24
Since your SGPT and Gamma GT levels showed higher values, your liver test result is fine, but slightly elevated. It may be a sign of the disease process that is manifesting itself in the form of liver damage or inflammation. Consult with a hepatologist is important. They can propose the right therapeutic methods which suits your situation best.

After drinking seven Penadol at once, what should you do before something happens?
Dr. Gaurav Gupta
Surgical Gastroenterology
Answered on 23rd May '24
I don't advocate that a person must take seven Panadol tablets all at once. It is an excessive amount and it can even be dangerous. If your body has absorbed that amount, it is necessary to immediately see a hepatologist, they will analyze you for side effects in case there are any and recommend the right treatment.

You have a transplanted kidney, and your liver has higher GGT. This is an enzyme that indicates liver issues. Additionally, you have early-stage fatty liver, where excess fat accumulates in liver cells. Fatigue, abdominal discomfort, and jaundice are possible symptoms. Maintaining a nutritious diet and regular exercise can be beneficial. However, consulting your healthcare team is crucial

What Does GGT Level of 465 Mean?
My GGT Level in Liver Function Test is 465. What does that means? Any suggestions or medicines to reduce the same.
Dr. Gaurav Gupta
Surgical Gastroenterology
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Dr. Gaurav Gupta
Surgical Gastroenterology
Answered on 23rd May '24
It is good that your tests for HIV and hepatitis turned out to be negative. This indicates that the virus that causes these diseases was not present in your body at the time of testing. There is also a variation in signs of HIV and hepatitis, with some involving symptoms, such as tiredness, flu-like symptoms, and yellowing of the skin or sclera. If you are still concerned, visit a hepatologist.

How to Address Hepatomegaly, Splenomegaly, Ascites?

Dr. Gaurav Gupta

The liver appears enlarged and has an abnormality in the scan; the gallbladder has a distended wall; the spleen is large and looks different; there is some extra fluid in the abdomen known as ascites. These may be due to various conditions such as infections, liver diseases, or heart problems. Eating well, keeping fit, and seeing your hepatologist regularly can help control these things.
