Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetic hyperglycemia for about 15 years now, and things seem to have gotten more complicated. Just recently, she had pus in her left kidney because of a urinary infection related to her diabetes. I'm really anxious about whether the treatment she's getting is the right fit for her. What should we be looking out for, and is there anything else we should consider?

Visit Physician foe regular followup

Question 2

I'm just a bit concerned about my vitamin D levels. I checked them last month and they were really low. I'm curious, can I improve my vitamin D levels if I get some sunlight in the evening? Or is it only effective in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Elevated SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) Levels

_Interpretation_

1. _Mild elevation_: Your SGOT (53) and SGPT (67) levels are mildly elevated.
2. _Possible causes_: Elevated liver enzymes can be caused by various factors, including:
    - Fatty liver disease
    - Viral hepatitis (A, B, C, or E)
    - Medication side effects
    - Muscle damage or exercise
    - Other medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, celiac disease)

_Next Steps_

1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your elevated liver enzymes.
2. _Additional tests_: Your doctor may order further tests, such as:
    - Liver function tests (LFTs) to monitor enzyme levels
    - Hepatitis A, B, and C screenings
    - Ultrasound or other imaging tests to evaluate liver health
    - Blood tests to rule out other medical conditions
3. _Lifestyle modifications_: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including:
    - A balanced diet
    - Regular exercise
    - Adequate sleep
    - Stress management

_Reassurance_

1. _Hepatitis and cirrhosis are unlikely_: Given your age, lifestyle, and absence of symptoms, hepatitis and cirrhosis are less likely.
2. _Further evaluation is necessary_: A thorough medical evaluation will help determine the cause of your elevated liver enzymes.
