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

I have a blood test scheduled for elevated ALT liver enzyme on the 9th. I cannot take pain medications. I have come down with a bad cold and am experiencing severe sinus pressure. Can I take Pseudoephedrine, Allegra D, or Mucinex D without affecting my blood test results?
