Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to answer your query.
The AST and ALT are very high and are suggestive of liver involvement.
The red vomitus could be probably hemetemesis (blood vomiting) which can occur in certain liver diseases.
Since you are in pain, the second possibility is ulcer disease causing both pain and blood vomiting.
It is an emergency and you should report to ER immediately.
I hope that answers your question.

Hi,
You could tell the ER people you are having blood vomiting.
An upper GI endoscopy has to be done.
If you want to go to a private doctor, you need to go to a gastroenterologist.
I hope that answers your question.

I'm sorry, but i don't feel like you are telling me anything other than common knowledge. I guess I should ask what you would tell a patient sitting right in front of you in your office. What do you think all of my symptoms added together point toward the most?? I know I can not hold anyone on this site responsible for my diagnosis nor would I try to. I just would like to hear a more conclusive answer.
Hi,
I have told in my first post itself about the possibilities.
1. Liver disease
2. Peptic ulcer disease.
The high AST and ALT points towards liver disease. Liver disease can cause portal hypertension ( high pressure in the portal venous system) causing blood vessels in the food pipe to engorge which may bleed.
The severe abdominal pain may also occur in peptic ulcer disease which can also bleed.
To know whether it is due to liver disease or peptic ulcer, an upper GI endoscopy should be done. I have mentioned about it already in my earlier post.
It is not time for a detailed discussion online. But it is time for early intervention and so I advised you to go to ER.
I hope that answers your question.
