Quick Summary

Report देखकर घबराहट होती है — numbers, abbreviations, 'abnormal' flags। Dr. Akhilesh Yadav — Orchid Medical Centre, Ranchi — इस guide में explain करते हैं कि common GI/liver reports कैसे पढ़ें — और कब worry करनी है, कब नहीं।

1
🩸

LFT (Liver Function Test) — क्या देखें

SGPT (ALT) — Liver cell damage indicator।

Normal: <40 U/L।

40-200: mild elevation — fatty liver, medicines, alcohol।

>200: significant damage — hepatitis, acute liver injury।

SGOT (AST) — Similar to SGPT।

High SGOT + SGOT:SGPT >2:1 ratio — alcohol-related liver disease suspect।

Bilirubin (total) — Jaundice marker।

Normal: <1 mg/dL।

>2.5 = clinical jaundice।

Albumin — Liver synthetic function।

Normal: 3.5-5 g/dL।

<3 = poor liver function (cirrhosis)।

ALP/GGT — bile duct blockage markers।

High ALP + GGT — obstructive cause (gallstone, cholestasis)।

🔴

CBC (Complete Blood Count) — Key Numbers

Hemoglobin — Normal: men 13-17, women 12-15 g/dL।

Low = anemia — causes: blood loss (GI bleeding), nutritional deficiency, chronic disease।

Platelets — Normal: 1.5-4.5 lakh/µL।

Low platelets (<1 lakh) + liver disease = portal hypertension, cirrhosis।

WBC (White Blood Cells) — High = infection।

Low = severe liver disease, bone marrow issue।

MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) — High MCV = B12/folate deficiency या alcohol use।

Ultrasound Abdomen — Common Findings

Liver size: normal 12-15 cm।

Enlarged (hepatomegaly): fatty liver, hepatitis, tumor।

Liver echogenicity: Bright/echogenic = fatty liver।

Coarse echotexture = cirrhosis।

Nodular surface = cirrhosis।

Gallbladder: Stones (acoustic shadow), polyps (no shadow), wall thickening।

Bile duct: Dilated CBD (>6mm) = obstruction — stone, tumor? Spleen: Enlarged (>12cm) = portal hypertension।

Ascites: Free fluid = cirrhosis, infection, cancer।

Kidneys: Incidental findings common।

Endoscopy Report — Terminology

Gastritis: Stomach lining inflammation — H. Pylori करता है mostly।

Esophagitis: Esophagus inflammation — GERD से।

Hiatus Hernia: Stomach का chest में herniation — common finding, mostly innocent।

Erosions: Superficial mucosal damage — NSAIDs, H. Pylori।

Peptic Ulcer: Deep mucosal break — H. Pylori (80%)।

Barrett's Esophagus: Precancerous change — GERD से।

Biopsy taken: Lab में tissue examine — H. Pylori test, cancer rule out।

⚠️

कब Report को Urgent मानें

Immediate concern — इन findings पर Dr. Akhilesh Yadav से same day/next day मिलें: Bilirubin >5 mg/dL + fever।

SGPT >500 (acute liver injury)।

Platelet <50,000 (bleeding risk)।

Ultrasound: liver mass/nodule।

Endoscopy: varices (नसें) — bleeding risk।

Colonoscopy: polyp या mass।

Moderate concern — 1 हफ्ते में follow-up: SGPT 50-200 (persistent)।

Low hemoglobin (<10 g/dL)।

Mildly dilated bile duct।

Important Note

Report के numbers खुद interpret करके treatment न लें — especially antibiotics, steroids, या liver supplements। एक test abnormal होना हमेशा disease नहीं होता — context ज़रूरी है। Dr. Akhilesh Yadav से ज़रूर मिलें।
