Kindly suggest what preventions should we take to lower SGOT and SGPT levels and creatinine levels.. Her HBA1c is 7.0.. Non smoker non drinker
Brief Answer:
Following causes to her elevated SGPT/SGOT levels...
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
I am sorry for the situation your mother is in.
You are reporting that she:
- has been taking NSAIDs for about 7 months. This prolonged used might have caused inflammation of stomach mucosa and she is now having the symptoms of dyspepsia/gastritis.
- she has high uric acid levels. Is she taking any medication for that? If she is taking allopurinol (nouric), most probably such medications might be a possible cause to her actual GI problems including nausea vomiting and slightly elevated transaminases.
- her SGPT and SGOT levels are slightly elevated. There might be various causes including: diabetes and related medications; high uric acid levels and (perhaps?) related medications; possibly fatty liver (has she run any abdominal ultrasound so far?)
For the moment, I can only advise to:
- start PPIs or antacids after meal
- have frequent and small meals
- take anti-nausea medications
- increase water intake
Looking forward to have the requested information in for a more specific answer.

Brief Answer:
Following answer to your query.
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
The necessity of Allopurinol is based on biochemical analysis (especially uric acid and creatinine) and clinical symptoms.
Since the discontinuation of therapy may cause a worsening of symptoms and biochemical parameters you should discuss with her doctor before doing so.
Hope this was of help!

Hello doctor... My mother had an ultrasound today and it showed Mild hepatomegaly with grossly distended gall bladder and Left lateral myometrial subserosal oval lesion seen with predominantly fatty parenchyma!!! What does this exactly mean and what could be the reasons behind this?
Brief Answer:
Cholecystitis to get properly treated;follow up with gynecologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXX,
Can you please provide the full ultrasound report, as I want to analyze it myself?
From what you are describing, I can say that the ultrasound report is showing cholecystitis and should be treated properly.
With regards to myometrial lesion, I'd advise to consult with Gynecologist to get further biopsy and follow up.
Hope it helped!

Brief Answer:
Following answer to your query.
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
After reviewing your ultrasound results I confirm that you have a left ovarian lesion. Ultrasound on its own can't find out the exact nature of that lesion.
This is why it's important to contact a gynecologist for further examinations to find out the exact nature of the ovarian lesion. More over some of the symptoms may be related with this lesion.
Based on the data you have a mild hepatomegaly that doesn't completely justify your symptoms.
Wish you health!
