Problem: Not sure exactly what you are asking, but a visit to a specialist will be necessary, assuming you are interested in having children in the future. Doing surgery and not doing surgery both have implications and more testing will likely be needed to figure out how to proceed. But you will definitely need medical and/or surgical treatment of some sort.

Question 8

how high is ast of 47 and alt of 132? what could it indicate ?

Accepted Answer

Liver injury: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, AST is barely elevated but ALT is abnormal and suggests liver cell injury. It may be due to fatty liver or from the medications you are taking.

Question 9

what do high protime levels indicate?

Accepted Answer

Clotting factor: Hi
Prothrombin times are a measure of how fast your blood clots. Typically, we don't look directly at the protime but at another value called the INR, which is a standardized version and a much more reliable indicator of how thin your blood is than looking at protime itself. There are many things that can cause a high pro time and high INR. More info here http://mayocl.in/2rfbkPv Hope this helps
