Urine results: Your urine shows that you have virtually no protein in your urine, which is a good thing. Patients with proteinuria have an increased rate of kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes which is related to the amount of protein in the urine both in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. What was the reason for the urine collection?

Accepted Answer

: Need normal ranges for this lab for people like you. I do not trust being able to convert abbreviations into what they mean.

Question 6

not a drinker. my ultrasnd says mild enlarged & fatty liver. i'v high biliru- 2.1(dir-0.5,ind-1.6).sgpt/sgot- just high. alp - ok ,proteins - ok.lipid profile - ok. panc - ok. esr -8, cbc- normal, blood sug - ok, kidney -ok.no hep b/c. is it serious?

Accepted Answer

Large fatty liver: What were your lipids? What is your B12? vgetarian?   Increased bili  is  seen in low B12 and NAFLD is associated.. Also  unconjugated bili is from hemolysis ( meds or G6PD-middle east), B- thalessemia( congenital),  medications,  diseases affecting  conjugation( Gilbert's-Mediterranean ) Exposed to chemicals? carbon tetrachloride medications? gemfibrizol?   Would avoid tylenol (acetaminophen) f/u/ w /doc
