I am Nikhil, 26 years old. Three months ago, I had jaundice with SGPT 235 and SGOT 91, which returned to normal within 10 days. Now, I have jaundice again with SGPT 150 and SGOT 90, even though I have been following a proper diet. I have done tests for HBsAg, Anti HCV, and Anti HBc total, and all are normal. My ESR is 18. I am concerned about the repeated rise in liver enzymes. What could be the reason, and is this dangerous?

Recurrent elevation of SGPT and SGOT despite a diet can occur due to fatty liver, medication use, alcohol, or undetected viral infections. Your hepatitis tests are normal, which is reassuring, and your ESR is only mildly raised. Avoid alcohol, oily foods, and unnecessary medications. Maintain hydration and a balanced diet. It is advisable to get a Liver Function Test repeat and an Ultrasound Whole Abdomen to check liver structure and rule out fatty liver or other causes. Most cases are not dangerous if managed early under expert guidance

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a LIVER FUNCTION TEST (LFT) Test
