Question 4

my bro is an epileptic patient.his ggt is 416 nd white blood cells are high all other liver tests are well.wat can we do to lower his ggt ? plz tell

Accepted Answer

Don't Rx a lab value: About one person in a few hundred naturally runs a high ggt; it's hereditary and this isn't something that needs to be treated. Wbc's fluctuate wildly from hour to hour. If there's no other sign that he's sick and his physician is good with just watching him rather than adjusting his rx to see if it's raising ggt, then the best thing to do is nothing.

Question 5

Well...: Liver failure (as in cirrhosis) leads to fluid retention which in turn may cause sodium to drop.  Urea elevations occur when the perfusion of the kidneys is not efficient, or there is a bleed in the gastrointestinal tract (as may happen in people with cirrhosis and bleeding in this area)
