Diagnosed With Hepatitis A. Increased SGPT And SGOT Levels. Dry Cough, Flu. Reason?

Hi doctor, last month I went to hospital for my medical checkup. The results showed that my SGPT&SGOT were around 200. Therefore I was asked to admit and they diagnosed that I had hepatitis A. After 2 weeks in hospital, my SGPT&SGOT levels decreased to around 50. Yesterday I went back for my follow up. The blood test showed dat my SGPT&SGOT were 100&60 respectively. For the past 1 week, I've been having dry cough n flu. I got myself a cough&flu syrup from the pharmacy. May I know why the SGPT&SGOT level increased? Thank you.

Hello,
It is quite possible to have fluctuating levels of liver enzymes while recovering from HEPATITIS A.
There is nothing to worry for this.Keep taking rest and complete precaution.
Complete recovery from HEPATITIS A generally takes place in 6 to 8 weeks and sometimes it may taken even 4 to 6 months also.
Once a person develops HEPATITIS A,he generally gets immunity for it and never gets it again.
Take light food and avoid alcohol.
Thanks
