Hello Madam,
I’ve reviewed your husband’s
liver function test (
LFT) report. The results are largely within normal limits. The SGOT/SGPT ratio (1.47) is slightly above the upper limit but still not worrisome by itself, especially since both enzyme values (SGOT 21.3, SGPT 14.5 U/L) are well within normal ranges.
The bilirubin levels are only marginally elevated (total 1.04 mg/dL, indirect 0.83 mg/dL), which can occur due to mild fatty liver, fasting, dehydration, or Gilbert’s syndrome (a harmless condition).
However, since he has fatty liver and small gallbladder polyps, the right upper abdominal discomfort after meals could be due to:
• Fatty liver–related dyspepsia or mild hepatic congestion, or
• Gallbladder polyps or stones irritating the gallbladder.
Loose, pale stools can indicate mild bile flow disturbance.
Recommended next steps:
1. Ultrasound abdomen (if not repeated in the last 6 months) — to check fatty liver grade and gallbladder status.
2. Avoid oily and heavy meals, alcohol, and fried food.
3. Maintain adequate hydration and regular exercise.
4. Liver-protective diet: include high-fiber foods, green leafy vegetables, coffee (if no contraindication), and avoid unnecessary supplements.
5. Consult a gastroenterologist if pain or pale stools persist — to evaluate bile flow and polyps further.
At present, no urgent issue is seen in his LFT, but monitoring and lifestyle correction are advised.
