I recently had my LFT done, and my test report shows higher than normal values for SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT). I would like to know the possible causes and how to bring these levels back to normal.

Raised LFT can be due to fatty liver, alcohol, or viral hepatitis. Please take an ultrasound abdomen and Hepatitis B and C panel. Take these to identify root cause.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test or Take a HCV Test (Hepatitis C Virus) Test

Hi, my eyes have a yellowish color. I suffered from jaundice about 10 years ago. However, my recent blood report shows no signs of jaundice. I am wondering why my eyes are still not white. What is the right course of action, and should I consult an eye specialist or a general physician? Please advise.
