I've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?

Post-Dengue Elevated Liver Enzymes

Common phenomenon: Elevated liver enzymes, especially SGPT (ALT), are common after dengue fever.

Possible causes:

1. Liver inflammation: Dengue virus can cause liver inflammation, leading to elevated liver enzymes.
2. Hepatocyte injury: The virus can damage liver cells, causing enzyme leaks.

SGPT level of 168 UL:

1. Mildly elevated: This level is mildly elevated, but it's essential to monitor it to ensure it returns to normal.

SGOT level of 40 UL:

1. Within normal range: This level is within the normal range (0-40 UL).

Recommendations:

1. Monitor liver enzymes: Regularly check your liver enzymes to ensure they return to normal.
2. Follow-up with your doctor: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to monitor your liver health.
3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Engage in regular exercise, eat a balanced diet, and avoid alcohol to support liver health.

No specific treatment: Usually, no specific treatment is required for elevated liver enzymes post-dengue. However, your doctor may recommend liver function tests to monitor your liver health.
