I recently had a liver function test. My ALP level is normal, but ALT and AST are elevated. I am also experiencing mild pain in the upper right abdomen, with no other symptoms. I do not consume alcohol, do not smoke, and have no history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or serious family illnesses. My cholesterol is normal, triglycerides are mildly elevated, my weight is 79 kg, and my height is 5 feet 7 inch

Elevated ALT/AST may indicate fatty liver or inflammation. Lifestyle, diet changes, and rechecking LFTs in 4 to 6 weeks are recommended. An ultrasound may help clarify.

My recent Liver Function Test results are as follows: Bilirubin Total: 0.65 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10) Bilirubin Direct: 0.17 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 0.20) Bilirubin Indirect: 0.48 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10) AST (SGOT): 28.5 U/L (Normal: 18.0 to 37.0) ALT (SGPT): 47.3 U/L (Normal: 0.0 to 40.0) Could you please explain what these results mean? Is there any concern, particularly with the ALT being slightly above normal?

Hi, a few months ago I was diagnosed with grade 1 fatty liver with increased echotexture, and my weight was 83 kg. Recently, after treatment for COVID, I had another ultrasound where my liver echotexture appeared normal, but there was a mild increase in liver size. I have also lost 10 kg since then. My liver function tests are normal. Should I be concerned about these findings? I am attaching my report for your review.

My uncle tested positive for COVID 19 eight days ago. Initially, he had a mild fever, but he recovered after taking the prescribed medications. However, during a follow up blood test yesterday, his D dimer, SGPT, and SGOT levels were elevated. The doctor prescribed blood thinning medication based on these results, but after starting the new medication, his condition seems to have worsened, his coughing has increased, and he is experiencing significant fatigue. We are unsure whether this is a side effect of the new medication or a sign of something more serious. I have attached the reports for reference.
