I am 4 months pregnant and was taking 100 mg iron tablets with no issues. After moving to a new city, my new doctor prescribed 500 mg iron tablets. Within 15 days, my LFT levels have increased dramatically, reaching levels similar to primary liver cirrhosis. My recent liver function test report: SGOT: 193 U/L SGPT: 257 U/L GGT: 65 U/L ALP: 338 U/L Direct Bilirubin: 0.60 mg/dL

High liver enzymes could be due to iron toxicity or pregnancy related liver changes. Stop current iron and consult gynecologist. Consider LFT monitoring.

In my blood report, SGOT and SGPT are 84 and 98 respectively. I have high pain in feet and hand joints and am suffering from fever. Is my liver damaged? What preventive measures should I take? All other test results in the report are normal.

Please find my attached blood report and help me understand the possible reason behind my chest pain and excessive acid production in the stomach. My SGPT level is high, could this be related to a liver issue?

My wife is pregnant, and her blood report shows elevated SGPT (92). Can I give her Homeopathic medicine like Chelidonium Q or any other homeopathic remedy? She is currently taking Udiliv 150 mg, iron, and calcium tablets twice daily as per doctor instructions. Her hemoglobin is 9.2. Please advise
