Can alcohol or medication cause an abnormal liver test result?

Yes. Alcohol consumed within 24 hours of the test can temporarily elevate GGT and ALT. Medications including paracetamol (especially in high doses), statins, anti-TB drugs, anticonvulsants, and certain herbal supplements can raise liver enzyme levels. Always inform your doctor of all substances you are taking before the test so results can be interpreted in context.

Do I need to fast before a liver function test?

Most liver enzyme tests , ALT, AST, ALP, GGT , do not require strict fasting. However, fasting for 8 hours is commonly recommended for the most consistent results, particularly if the test is part of a broader metabolic panel. Confirm fasting requirements with your doctor or the lab when booking.

What is the normal range for liver enzyme tests?

Normal ALT (SGPT): 7 to 56 U/L; AST (SGOT): 10 to 40 U/L; ALP: 44 to 147 U/L; GGT: 8 to 61 U/L for men and 5 to 36 U/L for women; total bilirubin: 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL. These ranges may vary slightly by laboratory and age group. Your gastroenterologist will explain what your specific values indicate and whether any follow-up investigation or treatment is needed.

Is contrast needed for MRI of knee joint?

Contrast (gadolinium) is not routinely required for most knee MRIs; standard non-contrast MRI accurately assesses menisci, ligaments, cartilage, and bone marrow. Contrast is reserved for specific situations, suspected infection, tumor, active synovitis/inflammation, or to distinguish scar from recurrent pathology after surgery. The radiologist decides based on the clinical question, patient history, and potential risks (e.g. renal impairment).

Does a knee MRI do both knees?

A knee MRI scans only the knee(s) specified on the imaging order. Most commonly a unilateral MRI is done for one symptomatic knee, but technicians can image both knees (a bilateral MRI) if requested by the doctor or patient. Bilateral scans take more time, may need a different protocol and could affect scheduling or cost. Confirm with your referrer and the MRI center.

Does a knee MRI with contrast hurt?

A knee MRI with contrast is generally not painful. The MRI itself is painless, though lying still can be uncomfortable. Contrast needs an IV; you may feel a brief pinch when the needle goes in and a warm flushing or metallic taste during injection. Most people have mild, short-lived discomfort; serious reactions are rare, but mention kidney problems or allergies to your clinician beforehand.

How long is a knee MRI with contrast?

A knee MRI with contrast typically takes about 30–60 minutes from arrival to completion. The actual imaging portion usually lasts 20–45 minutes; contrast injection and extra image sequences add time. Allow an additional 10–15 minutes for IV placement, paperwork and positioning. Total appointment time may be longer if pre-scan checks or post-contrast observation are needed.

Can MRI Scan Knee Joint Both Contrast be combined with a health package?

Yes. MRI Scan Knee Joint Both Contrast can be booked on its own or alongside related tests and packages on GetVisit. You can compare options and pricing before you confirm.

Is MRI Scan Knee Joint Both Contrast safe if I am pregnant?

Tell the centre before MRI Scan Knee Joint Both Contrast if you are or might be pregnant. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; for X-ray or CT the team will decide the safest approach or suggest an alternative.
