Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Your condition based on the symptoms appears to be due to multiorgan involvement. I would like to look at the reports of the tests you underwent. Only after looking at them I can provide a better opinion and a better direction on how to proceed.
Waiting for the reports,

Brief Answer:
Could be protease defeciency
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the reports.
I sincerely apologize for the delay in my response.
I have gone through the reports you posted above, other than minor derangements there are no lab parameters which can explain the symptoms you have.
Your symptoms appear to be due to condition caused by Enzyme protease deficiency. The water retention, decreased strengths and pain in the muscles without any protein loss is a way of presentation in Protease deficiency.
I would recommend estimation of Protease which can give a clue into the cause for the problem you have.
I do not think the deficiency of Vit B 12 can present this way. But yes, there can be calcium deficiency specially if the enzyme protease is deficient.
Do get the serum calcium estimated at the same time as the enzyme estimation.
Wish you good health.

HI Doc,
Please answer my below questiones ?
1.I have checked with ayurvedic doc he told that my body getting water sence only good colestrol are in my body no bad colestrol are there due to that my body look like water packet sence and flabby XXXXXXX , even if i take an medicine like antibiotic its getting rash like that due to colestrol unavailable ,he told to check with abdoman scan to look the digistive track .
I have went to uro , he done some test my inserting his finger in my anus asking any feel of urin urge as i told yes after done the check i feel same water sence in my butock place , he ask to take ultrasound in my anus during the test once it completed by insterting in to my anus i feel the same water sence in my butock so its any specific reson why its happening any issue on that after the test only i feel the same .
One more question is LFT?
I have check my LFT , in that my AST <ALT <GGT level increased , AST around 60,ALT 100 and GGT 177 , right now i am taking telma 40 and calcium medicine citramacalvit half of 1200 its is getting harm to increase or mean while i am taken homeopathy medicine for pain so its make it to increase . IT can be reduce with medicine what medicine or its not required , and what food i need to avoide plz mention to came to normal .
My lipid profile tryglecrides raised to 300 so it raised , right now i have caught and cold , caught in the troat past 6 mnth my throat always dry water feel , even my 2 ear always water inside fell while movement , I dont have thyroid both hypo,hyper.
I have vitamin d deficiency right nw came to 13 before i have taken 8 week course during that time it was 50 . after completed 1 month i have checked it was 23 thn i have taken support 2000k per day but its reduce to 13 now . i have check with endocrine my complaint is not related to endocrine , check with gastro so i have checked with them they have checked my blood test both virus hb hbc etc its all negative . so they ask to take endoscopi to check is there any water retension is happening because i feel my whole body flabby XXXXXXX as well water sence . i my head , ear, adn throat and body and stomach are getting soft thinner . I went to ayurvedic doc he told that my body bad colostrol not there so he told the issue with digestive track how its happening need to check and body getting softer and flabby and thinner . so i think he is telling the write thing , because i have checked uro , neuro told that sensory neuropathy but i dont have sugar ...my EMG normal ....so please tell to reduce AST<ALT <GGT , adn IS LDL is getting low due to that my body getting water like soft .not stiff XXXXXXX , i am uable to walk even my skin are getting elastic getting pain after wall , i feel some muscle are missing in the joint and feet .
Brief Answer:
Ayurvedic doctor can be right
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
Yes, SERUM LDL Cholesterol 47.0 mg/dl which is a bad cholesterol is less in you. Well, this is a good thing but as your ayurvedic doctor opines there are chances of imbalance in the moisture content of the skin and lead to symptoms you have.
After the test by the urologist you would have felt the watery sensation only due to disturbance in the fat around the inner part of the anus.
AST ALT and GGT increase when there is damage in the Liver, you may have to take less fatty, less oily and spice free food for a minimum of one month for the LFT to come to normal.

Hi ,
What test need to be done for this colestrol loss issue ayurvedic doc told to take MRI scan abdoman to see the digistive track how its function what abt your suggession .
IS telma 40 is made increase to AST and ALT what is the right medicine ,or else calcium medicine and vitamin d medicine raise it .
AST 60 and ALT 100 ,GGT 177 , i have took homeopathy medicine during that time as well bp medicine telma 40 , calcium also its any increase it before telma 40 its was 144 GGT reduce from 154 so please provide the question for both .
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan is better
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Ultrasound scan of the abdomen is enough to identify any problems in the digestive tract.
Telma, calcium or Vit D do not cause AST and ALT to rise.
I cant comment on the Homeopathy medication as you haven't provided the details of the same.
