High SGPT suggests liver cell injury. Could be from fatty liver, hepatitis, or medication. Please take LFT, Ultrasound Abdomen and Hepatitis B and C Panel.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a LIVER FUNCTION TEST (LFT) Test or Take a HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIBODY (ANTI-HBS) Test

Question

I recently reviewed my blood tests and found the following issues dyslipidemia, elevated liver enzymes, grade 2 fatty liver on USG, and high uric acid. After one month of medication, my follow up report shows total cholesterol at 97, liver enzymes mostly normal (ALT slightly high but lower than before). However, I am experiencing significant weight loss and muscle loss, my current weight is 65 kg, down from 73 kg two months ago. My doctor has diagnosed these as post COVID effects, although I was asymptomatic and unaware of when I was infected.
