Question 1

I recently went for a routine health check-up and everything seemed fine, but I'm a bit worried about my ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE or ALTSGPT levels. The result came back as 131, whereas I read the normal range is supposed to be between 21 and 72. My SGOT level was 52. I've heard that these tests are connected to liver health. Should I be concerned about these results? What are some effective ways to lower my ALTSGPT levels? The test was done using UV with P5P.

Question 2

I've been dealing with pancreatitis and the stress from my personal life is really getting to me. I'm wondering if there's any way I can still have a drink now and then?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol consumption should be avoided completely if you have pancreatitis, as it can worsen the condition and increase the risk of complications. It is important to prioritize your health and well-being by abstaining from alcohol. Instead, focus on managing stress through healthy coping mechanisms and seeking support from healthcare professionals or counselors.

Question 3

I had jaundice 3 months ago but recovered 2 months back. Now I'm having upper stomach pain again, tests showed bilirubin at 3.4 and an ultrasound found 6mm gallstones. The doctor recommended gallbladder surgery - is there any way to treat this without surgery? Can these stones dissolve on their own?

I'm having these gas issues and it's causing some chest pain, especially on the left side of my chest. I've been taking medicine for it, but still, the pain comes and goes, like when I bend or sometimes when I take a deep breath. Could all of this be just because of gas?

That could be Gastritis or GERD once check with Gastroenterologist .
