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.

I have fatty liver for the last 6 months and my skin has darkened. When I touch below the belly button, it gives me pain. I also have a problem emptying bowels. An abdominal USG gave results of fatty infiltration and kidney stones of very small size.

I am experiencing gas and acute constipation. My recent USG report is normal, but my blood tests show SGOT: 66 U/L and SGPT: 71 U/L. I have also noticed soiling on my feet and fingers.

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
