Question: Doctor, I am suffering from jaundice (though I did not have any symptoms). In the ultrasound taken on 02 XXXXXXX it is learnt that. I have cholelithiasis(4-5 calculi seen in GB) (Status Post Hysterectomy).. LFT taken after 12 days of treatment shows that I have an increase Gamma GT (332) SGOT (213) SGPT (275) Total BILRUBIN (0.8 - DIRECT 0.4), (First report on02 XXXXXXX it was 3.6) ALKALINE PHOSPHATE (207 - THIS WAS NORMAL IN THE FIRST REPORT (116))Gamma GT. It is learnt that elevated Gamma GT is due to alcohol consumption, whereas I have never taken drinks even once in my life. Then what is the cause for it Doctor?

Dear Doctor, Thank you for answering my question. But, I have missed out some more points. I felt some tightness around the area below the shoulders for thrice (twice before I went for check up and once during the treatment). Initially I got alright after resting for a while. Second and third time I vomited & with the vomiting I felt alright. After the initial discomfort, next morning, urine was dark yellow and second time it was red. This was the reason I consulted a Doctor and jaundice was confirmed in the blood and urine tests done. I also underwent tests for Hepatitis B and C (tested negative) and ultrasound of the whole abdomen Now, Doctor, I just wanted to know whether it is related to jaundice or bilary duct problems. If it is due to bilary duct problems, then should I continue the treatment which I am taking now? I had been taking calcium tablets (Bio-D Strong) regularly after my wrist fracture and both calcium (Gemcal D3) and Menopace tablets after hysterectomy. Also for the past few months I had been taking homoeopathic treatment for pigmentation. I stopped taking these medicines since the diagnosis of jaundice, though Doctor advised me to continue those medicines (calcium and menopace). Further, I would like to inform you that I am not in the habit of taking water. But I take 3-4 cups of tea daily, sometimes even more. Whether this also has anything to do with my problems. (All my Test Results are given in the page below). Thanking you, Yours Sincerely, Jancy XXXXXXX (A) TEST REPORT ON 02 XXXXXXX 14 (TEST FOR JAUNDICE) URINE EXAMINATION : TESTED POSITIVE FOR BILE PIGMENTS AND BILE SALTS BIOCHEMISTRY : Total Bilrubin – 3.6 mg/dl Direct Bilrubin – 1.9mg/dl Indirect - 1.7 mg/dl SGOT/AST – 513 U/L SGPT/ALT – 574 U/L Alkaline Phosphate – 116 U/L (B) ULTRASOUND OF WHOLE ABDOMEN REPORT ON 04 XXXXXXX 14 Liver is normal in size and shows normal echopattern No focal lesions seen in liver.
