Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I have reviewed your blood reports and the pain seems to be colicky pain, secondary to infection.
All the test reports are normal, and that is an encouraging sign.
I will recommend a course of antibiotic and anti amebic for you. If the pain subsides, its fine. If it doesn't you need to get an endoscopy done, to rule out ulcers.
1) Tab. Ciplox 500 mg twice daily for 5 days.
2) Tab. Albendazole 400 mg, one single dose at bed time.
3) Cap. Omeprazole 20 mg, once daily before breakfast.
4) Syp. Sucralfate 2 teaspoons after meals for 5 days.
Kindly take this medicines, and your pain should resolve. You will need prescription from your local doctor for the same.
Let me know if you have any other queries,
Regards.

Hello.
Thank you for your response.

Ferritin can be high in any infection. So with the course of antibioics prescribed, it should be back to normal.

Mildly elevated ALT does not indicate liver disease. Intestinal infection may also be the reason for this raise.

As for the fatty liver, you need to work at the cause which might be obesity, excess intake of alcohol, diabetes etc. Losing weight if obese, cutting down alcohol and if Diabetic, strict control of sugars are the measures needed. With appropriate measures, fatty liver can be reversed.

Your thyroid levels are normal and your thyroid is not under active.

I so no reason to suspect any autoimmune disease at this point.

And for the anxiety, I would first recommend de-stressing measures like meditation, yoga, a favorite sport/activity etc regularly to bring down your stress levels and counter the anxiety.
Please also take the treatment recommended before and you shall find relief.

Regards.
