Question 1

I am a COVID recovered patient (recovered about one month ago). I recently received my liver function test results, which show that AST/SGOT is 44 and ALT/SGPT is 84, both slightly above the normal range. Could you please advise if this is something I should be concerned about? Is it possibly related to the recent COVID 19 infection, or should I undergo further tests or treatment?

Question 2

I am diabetic with an HbA1c level of 7.6 H. My liver function tests show SGPT 60.5 H, ALP 50.2 L, and SGOT 49.7 H. The hepatitis B surface antigen test is reactive. Ultrasound shows the liver is normal in size and shape, but has grade one fatty changes. My HBV DNA quantitative by real time PCR is 116801, and HBeAg is 0.25. My doctor diagnosed me with hepatitis B, but did not prescribe any medication. I am a little confused about my condition and would appreciate an explanation to help clear my doubts. I have provided the test results above.

Question 3

My wife, age 32, has UTI with no fever, so we took a routine test. There is slight elevation in conjugated bilirubin. She has no disease of any kind. Why is there an elevation?

I recently did a liver function test, and my results are: Total Bilirubin: 1.38 mg/dL Direct Bilirubin: 0.37 mg/dL Indirect Bilirubin: 1.01 mg/dL AST (SGOT): 42 U/L ALT (SGPT): 78 U/L Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): 169 U/L Are these results serious, or can they improve with medication?

Mild liver enzyme elevation could be due to fatty liver or infection. Usually not serious. Avoid alcohol/fatty food. Repeat LFT after 2 to 3 weeks.
