I am diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks because my lipase and amylase levels increased abnormally after suffering from a severe belly pain. Lipase and amylase had almost gone upto 3000 which is normally 60 and 220 respectively. But gradually it went down to 200 after i was treated in the ICU for a week. Now currently my pancreas has a bulgy nature and my gall bladder has some clay type particles according to the CT scan and USG reports, and my current amylase and lipase levels are around 240 and 150 respectively, which is not yet normal. So I am following a strict diet chart as i cannot eat a lot of food at a time, because it starts paining after a while. Thus i am taking small meals after a gap of 2 to 3 hours. What should i do to totally cure myself of this disease? The blood reports, USG reports, CT scan reports are attached accordingly. Thank you.

My brother, 12 years, was suffering from fever. We visited our family physician. He had a doubt that he had jaundice so told to do some tests. Among those tests, in liver function test, alkaline phosphate shows 218 and SGOT 41 remaining all the results are in normal range. Also in urinalysis, proteins present (trace) ,crystals - uric acid present, remaining all normal. Are these results showing amy abnormality? Please give your opinion.

Reports are normal and do not suggest any reason for fever

She is my wife.we got two girls.both are lscs only. We made ready for third. Before six months we were done the procedure of dnc due to some reasons. And in the same procedure sterilization,umbilical hernia were done. But we are now ready for recanalisation. And now she has some Retroverted uterus Little adhesions Bulky uterus

Hi. Welcome to 1mgdoctors. I understand your concern. The retroverted uterus and the adhesions are common after lscs. It will not be a problem. Also once a woman has had children, normal or by lscs, the uterus never regains its original size, hence the bulky uterus. So that is also normal, not to worry. However success rates post recanalization are not very high. So think well before undergoing the surgery again.

Here is the question that is concerning me about statins, due to very high ldl levels , mine up to 213 ,my cardiologists put me up on rosuvastatin. As of present test the levels of ldl have dropped to 148. So question that is concerning me is that since statin work by inhibiting the action of an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for high ldl cholesterol, what about the cholesterol that is already their in the artery and you may or may not know about it. Do statin only work by inhibiting the formation of new ldl cholesterol or do they also interfere with the cholesterol that may or may not be previously deposited in the artery wall.

Dear sir you need to clarify this from the physician you are taking treatment from, because the modus operandi of homeopathic and allopathic medicines are different. Also a specialist in the concerned field can also answer your query well

Normally Delivered a 4.5kg baby on 8th September. Having sever bilateral edema on legs. Blood transfusion was done on 9th September bcoz of 6.5gm Hb. Now having distended abdomen (may b because of enlarged uterus) and burning micturition and persistent bilateral edema. Sometimes Hematuria also occurs. What to do now.

Get your urine routine and culture sensitivity done to rule out infection. Get an ultrasound done to rule out any collection in the abdominal cavity. The oedema could've because of anemia as your HB was 6.5 or it could be because of redistribution of fluid after delivery. Wait for some time ( a week) and see if it's getting better otherwise consult a physician.
