View allI'm a bit worried after my recent liver function test results came back. My AG ratio is high at 3.5, and while my albumin is in the normal range, my globulin level is low at 1.7. Also, my direct bilirubin is slightly elevated at 0.33. Most other test results seem normal though. What could all this mean? Could there be something going on with my liver that I should be concerned about?
An elevated Anion Gap (AG) ratio of 3.5, low globulin levels, and slightly high direct bilirubin levels can indicate several possible conditions. Since your albumin levels are normal, let's explore potential causes: *Possible Causes* 1. *Malnutrition or Malabsorption*: Low globulin levels can be due to inadequate nutrition or malabsorption. 2. *Liver Disease*: Elevated AG ratio and slightly high direct bilirubin levels may indicate liver dysfunction or disease. 3. *Nephrotic Syndrome*: Although albumin levels are normal, low globulin levels can be seen in nephrotic syndrome. 4. *Chronic Infections or Inflammation*: Low globulin levels can be associated with chronic infections or inflammation. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a Hepatologist or Gastroenterologist*: Discuss your test results with a specialist to determine the underlying cause. 2. *Additional Tests*: Your doctor may recommend further tests, such as: - Liver ultrasound or imaging studies - Viral hepatitis screening - Autoantibody tests for autoimmune liver diseases - Urine tests to evaluate kidney function 3. *Dietary Changes*: Ensure you're getting adequate nutrition, and consider consulting a dietitian for personalized guidance. Please consult a specialist to determine the underlying cause of your abnormal test results.

I'm curious about something regarding Daflon. I took it for about two weeks when I had hemorrhoids, and it really helped. Now that I'm all better, I'm wondering if I can take Daflon again if my hemorrhoids flare up later on. Are there any specific precautions or guidelines I should keep in mind when it comes to the dosage?

My wife has been dealing with water-like loose motions since yesterday. She tried pudin hara last night, which helped her sleep, but this morning, she's been to the loo four more times. She's been drinking Electrol to stay hydrated. Theres no pain, but should we be doing something more?
-It sounds like your wife is dealing with a mild case of diarrhea, but since she's staying hydrated with Electrol and doesn't have pain, she should hopefully recover soon. If it continues for more than 48 hours, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor
