I've developed a swelling just below my ribs on the right side, and it's been really painful. Lately, I've also been experiencing shortness of breath, numbness in my hands, and frequent body aches. Could these symptoms be related? What could be causing all this?

View allI'm a 30-year-old woman and just recently had a baby. I had my LFT done, and my sgot level is 28, sgpt is 57, and ggt is 122. Should I be worried about this? What can I do to lower my sgpt and ggt levels?
Hello! Your SGOT and SGPT levels are within a manageable range, but GGT is elevated, which might indicate liver strain. Since you recently delivered, this could be related to postpartum changes or medications. Focus on a balanced diet, avoid alcohol, stay hydrated, and consult your doctor for tailored advice. Take care!

I'm really worried about my mom. We just got her ultrasound report and it says her liver is enlarged at 21.1 cm with increased echo texture, but there aren't any focal lesions. She has diabetes and high blood pressure too. Could this be related, or is it something different we should be concerned about? What might be causing these changes in her liver?

I'm a bit worried because I had an endoscopy biopsy about 32 hours ago, and now the color of the pylo dry has turned pink. Should I be concerned about this change? Does it mean the biopsy might be positive?
