What does having borderline liver function test mean?
Patient: What does it mean when I have a borderline liver function test? btw I'm 17 and I have thalassemia minor (hemoglobin 8) and a low level of vitamin D. I'm 5'7 (171 cm) and I weigh 168 lb (76 kg). Doctor recommended that I take vitamin D 5000. Do I have to change my diet? Maybe loose weight? Doctor: Hi you have borderline liver function test mean it is not above limit range but if you will not take care then it might raised above limit value.You might probably have fatty liver if you are obese.So loose weight if needed.Take minimal oil in diet.Use only good oil like sunflower oil or safflower or pea nut oil.Junk food, butter, cheese, meat taken very less.Regular exercise done.Refined food avoided with more fruits taken.Take vitamin d as you have lower value of it.Milk taken more.Daily also early in morning do some yoga or exercise in sunlight.I hope your concern solved.Take care.Dr.Parth Goswami
