Question 1

on tb treatment.all liver function tests normal except ggt high at 70. skin allergy appeared 2d ago too. dr asked to continue treatment. is that ok?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't worry: Some people run a high GGT naturally and this is probably minimally above the reference range; these ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside on either end in any case.

Question 2

i'm on carbamazepine(300 mg) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia can it lead to elevated ggt level?

Accepted Answer

Not conclusive : First of all, a single blood test in isolation do not provide enough information to form any definitive conclusions. A number of tests must be performed to have any meaning. Carbamazepine may cause an elevated GGT level, but also NSAIDs OTC may. Talk to your treating physician to find out what the test could mean for you. Carbamazepine 300mg for TN is a very small dose.

Question 3

what is the treatment for high cortisol?

Accepted Answer

Confirm first: An elevated cortisol may be due to stress or an adrenal or pituitary tumor. See an endocrinologist to confirm a blood or urine elevation and check where the excess stimulation of cortisol is from the adrenal, or secondary to acth stimulation of both adrenals.

Question 6

what is the treatment for high hematocrit of 61?

Accepted Answer

W/u & phlebotomy: You should go to see a hematologist to get more work-up to find out the cause of your polycythemia and you definitely will need to get phlebotomy now. If this is a bone marrow problem- phlebotomy is the treatment. If this is caused by other conditions- like lung, kidney/liver problems, drugs etc- the treatment is to fix the underlying condition. Go to see a hematologist-or er if you have symptoms.

Question 7

could you tell me what is the treatment for high esr?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: Don't treat a lab value. And the ESR is not a precise test, it's fraught with technical errors, and high values are common in people who seem not to be sick at all. At most, it's used as one piece of information out of many in making diagnoses of relatively obscure illnesses. Eat sensibly, stay fit, and stop worrying about numbers.
