Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
a lady patient is having raised SGPT (122)since last six month following jaundice.this time other tests done like HbSag--neg.ultrasonography shows a solitary stone in gall bladder.just I saw here that a pt. is taking Udiliv since last five years without having any improvement in SGPT level.wanted to know the reason to continue Udiliv.at the same time I will like to know the treatment for the pt described above.Thanx & waiting for reply.
Raised SGPT and jaundice suggest a damage of liver cells from the blocked biliar acids drainage. The stone in the gallbladder doesn't allow the normal drainage of the bile so it turns in the opposite direction passing to the blood and giving the jaundice. Also from this blockage the liver cells are damaged too.
Udiliv is a medication used to dissolve the cholesterol and prevent stone production. But in this case it is obvious that has not any spectacular result!
Generally this situation is resolved surgically by removing the gallbladder stone. Unfortunately there is no medication which can dissolve the stone in this stade. Udiliv may be used after the surgical intervention up to one year after. The intervention must be done to prevent other damages and complications of the liver.
I strongly recommend you to consult a gastro-hepatologist doctor and discuss the intervention possibility.
I wish all the best and good health. DR ERIOL.

Hi dear user! Thank you for asking us on HCM! Raised SGPT and jaundice suggest a damage of liver cells from the blocked biliar acids drainage. The stone in the gallbladder doesn t allow the normal drainage of the bile so it turns in the opposite direction passing to the blood and giving the jaundice.
