I have been suffering from jaundice for the past 7 weeks. Initially, my bilirubin was 10?mg/dL. After 4 weeks, it decreased to 2.08?mg/dL, but now it has increased again to 2.3?mg/dL. My SGOT and SGPT levels have also risen. Could you please advise how to bring my bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT back to normal?

The rise in bilirubin (to 2.3) and liver enzymes after initial improvement suggests your liver may still be inflamed. This can happen due to infection, food slip ups, or medicines. You must continue a strict bland diet (no oil, fried food, alcohol, or heavy meds) and get a repeat liver function test, hepatitis panel, and ultrasound done. Early action can prevent long term liver damage.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a ACUTE HEPATITIS VIRUS EVALUATION I (HCV TOTAL ANTIBODIES, HEV IgM , HBsAg, HAV IgM , HBc IgM ) Test

View allSir, I am feeling very weak. After a liver function test, I received my report and many values are different from the normal range. Can you please explain what the exact problem is and what I should do now? Also, is this a normal problem or a serious problem?

I recently reviewed my blood tests and found the following issues dyslipidemia, elevated liver enzymes, grade 2 fatty liver on USG, and high uric acid. After one month of medication, my follow up report shows total cholesterol at 97, liver enzymes mostly normal (ALT slightly high but lower than before). However, I am experiencing significant weight loss and muscle loss, my current weight is 65 kg, down from 73 kg two months ago. My doctor has diagnosed these as post COVID effects, although I was asymptomatic and unaware of when I was infected.

I recently had a blood test, and my results show: Aspartate Aminotransferase (SGOT, Photometry): 37.3 U/L Alanine Aminotransferase (SGPT, Photometry): 76.3 U/L The SGPT value is significantly above the upper normal limit. Could this indicate a liver problem? Please advise.
