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)

2
🔴

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।
