Brief Answer:
Please Visit Gastroenterologist/ Hepatologist at the earliest
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
thanks for posting your query at HCM.
I have read your question and thoroughly gone through the attached reports.
Firstly, patient liver enzymes are significantly high and needs prompt further investigation to rule out all possible causes such as viral causes, autoimmune diseases.
Secondly, the typhoid investigation is positive but the patient needs treatment if she is "currently" suffering from abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea and headache. Discuss with treating physician.
Thirdly, patient is anemic and cause should be investigated thoroughly.
Diet advice:
- Vit B-12 and folic acid maybe ingested after discussing with treating physician to treat anemia
- abstinence from "Alcohol" (if any)
- LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages
- decreased oil consumption (oily food)
- NO red meat
- green vegetables should be ingested daily
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- reduce weight if overweight/obese
-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound.
Any further questions are most welcome.
Hope to answer your concern.
Wishing the patient speedy recovery and good health.
Regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
