question:hi, my mum whent to have her goldblader out on wedsday this week by key hole , when she came back from surgery they said they dident remove it as it was srunk and would be to dangers for her , i need to no if it is more dangers to leave it in and what could hapen to her
answer:Hi, How are you? My name is Dr Suresh Raghavaiah. I am a liver and pancrease specialist and I hope to answer your question today. I am sorry to hear about your mother's condition.Gall bladders tend to become thick walled and shrunken in patients who have repeated bouts of inflammation (cholecystitis). This will make it very difficult for the surgeon to remove, especially by laparoscopic (key hole) technique. The normal procedure in such cases would be to do a open cholecystectomy, which involves making a 7-10 cm incision on the abdomen and then removing the gall bladder under vision. The dangers of leaving behind the gall bladder depends on what the original reason for the surgery was. Leaving behind the gall bladder due to stone disease will put the patient at risk for further attacks of cholecystitis, but a still worrisome reason would be if any cancer occurs in teh GB which would mandate that a open cholecystectomy be done.In summary, I would advice you to consider a open cholecystectomy to avoid future complications.Hope this helps and hope your mother starts to feel better.Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details [email protected] a great dayDr Suresh Raghavaiah

question:my blood report is normal ?Haemoglobin =13.2 gms/100 c.c.s glucose F (normal 70-110 mg%)= 72 , bilirubin (total 0.2-1 mg%) = 0.98 , SGOT( normal 8-40 unit)= 44 , SGPT (normal 5-35 unit) = 50What is SGPT?how does this affect the humanbody?does it harmful
answer:HelloYour findings suggests mildly increased SGPT.Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT )is an enzyme that is normally present in liver and heart cells. SGPT is released into blood when the liver or heart are damaged.Liver related increased SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile, medicines,auto immune causes etc.Increased SGOT may be due to many reasons,it is non specific.You need few other investigations like viral markers,lipid profile and ultrasound of abdomen.SGPT also increases during heart attack.It need clinical correlation in your case.You may need to take some medicines after proper evaluation.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
