View allI'm really confused about my recent health check-up results. My SGPT is 155 and SGOT is 180, but I'm not a drinker, so I'm puzzled about what might be causing this. All my hepatitis virus tests came back negative. An ultrasound discovered a grade 2 fatty liver, and my fibroscan is showing 9.5. I don't have any symptoms, just found out through a regular check-up. Could you give me some advice or suggest a treatment plan for this?
Based on your test results showing elevated liver enzymes and the presence of grade 2 fatty liver, it is important to address the underlying cause and manage your condition. Since hepatitis virus tests are negative, the elevation in liver enzymes may be due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). I recommend starting treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 10-15 mgkgday. This medication can help improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. In addition, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are crucial in managing NAFLD. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your liver function tests and adjust treatment as needed.

My dad has an 11 mm gallbladder stone and we're really worried about his health. Is it dangerous for him? Should he consider surgery or are there other treatment options? We're not sure what to do next.
Gallbladder stones can be dangerous if symptomatic; surgical removal is usually advised, especially if there's a risk of complications.

I really enjoy eating chicken, but I seem to have this recurring issue. After I have it, I get this pain near my heart and it feels like there's acid moving upwards. It even affects my sleep sometimes. Drinking water helps occasionally, but not always. The funny thing is, I don't drink alcohol or smoke, and I'm generally healthy. It mostly happens with chicken, which is my favorite, and I try to limit it to once a week, but even then the pain comes back. Spice seems to trigger it too. My friends eat everything, drink alcohol, and smoke but they don't have any problems. I'm always the one avoiding food during outings, yet this still happens. What could be going on, and how can I deal with it?
The symptoms you described, such as pain near the heart region, feeling like acid is moving upwards, and difficulty sleeping, are common with acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication like Gelusil or Digene after consuming trigger foods like chicken. These medications can help neutralize stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. Additionally, you may benefit from taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Pantocid or Omez to reduce the production of stomach acid and prevent symptoms from occurring. It's important to also make lifestyle changes to manage acid reflux, such as avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, not lying down immediately after eating, and maintaining a healthy weight. If your symptoms persist despite these measures, it's advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
