Liver inflammation after COVID can be temporary. Keep him hydrated and eat light, low fat food. Doctors may suggest hospital admission just to monitor closely. No need to panic if vitals are stable and liver enzymes improve.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

Question

Hi, I was experiencing high blood pressure and swelling in my face along with edema in my legs. My doctor advised me to get some tests done. All reports were normal except for my liver report. I am attaching my report. Please let me know what this means and how to treat it?

Question

I am a COVID recovered patient (recovered about one month ago). I recently received my liver function test results, which show that AST/SGOT is 44 and ALT/SGPT is 84, both slightly above the normal range. Could you please advise if this is something I should be concerned about? Is it possibly related to the recent COVID 19 infection, or should I undergo further tests or treatment?

Question

My blood report shows high ALT and AST values. How serious is this condition, and what steps or measures should I take to address it?
