Question 1

Hi, I was experiencing high blood pressure and swelling in my face along with edema in my legs. My doctor advised me to get some tests done. All reports were normal except for my liver report. I am attaching my report. Please let me know what this means and how to treat it?

Question 2

My 16 year old son has been suffering from high fever (104F) and headache for the past 6 days. Yesterday we consulted a doctor. His CBC and urine reports are normal. Malaria and typhoid tests are negative. Platelet count is 1.75 lakhs, SGOT is 65, and SGPT is 70.
The doctor prescribed Dolo 650 (three times a day) and Mahacef Plus (twice a day). The fever temporarily decreases after Dolo but rises back to 104F after 4 hours.
What could be the reason for the persistent high fever and the increased SGOT and SGPT? What should be done next?

Question 3

My recent Liver Function Test results are as follows:
Bilirubin Total: 0.65 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10)
Bilirubin Direct: 0.17 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 0.20)
Bilirubin Indirect: 0.48 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10)
AST (SGOT): 28.5 U/L (Normal: 18.0 to 37.0)
ALT (SGPT): 47.3 U/L (Normal: 0.0 to 40.0)
Could you please explain what these results mean? Is there any concern, particularly with the ALT being slightly above normal?

What does an elevated ALP level indicate?

High levels of ALP in your blood may indicate liver disease or certain bone disorders.
