Diagnosed With Hepatitis. Have Abnormal SGOT And SGPT Levels. How Many Days To Have No Icterus?

i was diagnosed with hepatitis on 28th september 2013 with the sgot and sgpt levels around 1500 and total bilirubin around 2.4, i went on a very restricted diet for 20 days, in which i had no salt, no oil and no turmeric in my food. i did a lft again after 1 month and the reports say sgot=93 sgpt=150 and total bilirubin is around 1.3. my query is how many days does it normally take to have no icterus, and can i satart eating a bit of oily food or should i wait for some more time.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
There in no need to stop salt during hepatitis.
Oily foods are disliked by the patients with liver disease, otherwise no restriction.
You have to eat plenty of carbohydrates and oral glucose drink.
From viral hepatitis, recovery is spontaneous and takes about 6-8 weeks
Hence any dietary restriction is only 2 months
From your investigations I understand that you are completely recovered
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
