Gastroenterologist 's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

Your SGOT and SGPT is very high and they are persisting since last months. It may be either Alcohol hepatitis or it may be drug induced which you may be taking for your backache, for which please consult your doctor to replace any hepatotoxic drug if you are taking.

If it is alcohol hepatitis then I hope as you have mentioned you have stopped taking alcohol. If not then avoid it completely. Moreover you need to get other tests like serum-albumin, bilirubin, prothrombin time, ultrasound abdomen to see for liver echotexture, portal vein diameter, and spleenomegaly or ascites to rule out cirrhosis of liver


However you still need to investigate for other common and treatable causes for elevation of transaminase levels like:
1. If you are obese or overweight you need to reduce your weight
2.Other common and treatable causes like Hepatitis B and C virus, Serum ceruloplasmin for wilson disease especially if you are young, ANA and SMA for autoimmune disease
3. Lipid profile and Ultrasound abdomen to see for liver echotexture to rule out NAFLD

Meanwhile continue with Tab Udiliv and Cap Zevit

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
