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

Increase in weight may be due to hypothyroidism which may develope due to interferon therapy. Or it may be due to general well being, improvement of apetite. Also increase in SGOT and SGPT may be due to increase in weight.

So it is advised to get your lipid profile, thyroid function tests, Ultrasound abdomen to see for liver echotexture and blood sugar

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