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.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctor. I am a 41 year old male. My abdominal ultrasound report shows that the liver is average in size, measuring about 16.1 cm in the right midclavicular line with a smooth outline. It has normal homogeneous echogenicity with smooth echotexture. There is an ill defined heterogeneous lesion in segment IVb V measuring about 1.7 by 2.4 cm with minimal surrounding vascularity. The portal vein is average in calibre with normal colour flow. Can you explain the cause and how dangerous this condition is.

I have been using Candid B cream and coconut oil, which has helped about 80percent of the problem. However, looking for a permanent solution, I have now started taking Fusys 150. Earlier, I used Four Derm cream, which was causing adverse effects. Please suggest if I am on the right medicine. All my blood test reports are absolutely normal.
