further evaluation needed.

increase in the level of liver enzymes(AST,ALT) reflect an INJURY to the Liver. medically, the condition is know as "Hepatitis". it maybe caused by:
1. Virus (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HEV) - Hepatitis D and E Virus are least common.
2. Alcoholic hepatitis - a very common cause
3. drug induced (medication)
4. Gall bladder or common bile duct pathology
5."Fat excess"

further evaluation needed
get following blood test:
1. Viral serology - anti HAV, HBsAg (if not vaccinated against HBV), anti HCV
2. lipid profile
3. ultrasound abdomen

HepA virus is a common cause and self limited disease.

You may visit hepatologist. Get the blood tests done asap.

meanwhile advice:
- abstinence from "Alcohol"
- LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages
- decreased oil consuption (oily food)
- NO red meat
- green vegetables should be ingested daily
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports).
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- reduce weight if overweight/obese

-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks".

Answered by Dr. Tayyab Malik (28 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Urinalysis show abnormal results. Suspicious for a UTI.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
thank you for getting back to me.

Urinalysis indicate a mild to moderate Urinary tract infection (UTI).

If you feel pain in loin, or burning or increased frequency of urine, and/or if your diabetic then;
You need to have a thorough check-up, with blood routine, Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and ultrasound scan of abdomen with residual urine.

if you have none of the aforementioned symptoms and your non-diabetic, then followup would be sufficient. Repeat urinalysis after 2 to 4 weeks.
Increase water intake ( 10 to 12 glass of water a day)

however, you are advised to visit your treating physician with the urinalysis report.

wish you good and sound health.
