I'm really worried about my dad. His hands and feet swell up if he's sitting for too long, and it doesn't seem like they return to normal the way they used to. We're considering looking into ESR levels but could really use some advice on that. Also, are there specific foods he could eat that might help to get his ESR back to normal?

I recently got my blood tests back, and I've noticed that my uric acid levels have been high for the last two cycles. My SGPT is at 55, which Ive heard is elevated. I'm not a frequent drinker, maybe just once every couple of weeks, and there's no family history of this either. What do you think might be going on, and should I be concerned about these results?

To address high uric acid levels and elevated SGPT (55), consider lifestyle modifications: increase water intake (8-10 glassesday), reduce dietary purine intake (organ meats, seafood, sugary drinks), limit fructose consumption, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight; also, consult your doctor to discuss potential medications, such as allopurinol for uric acid, and to investigate the cause of elevated SGPT, which may include further liver function tests or an ultrasound.
