Hello, 1050savi,
I am sure that your doctor has told you the cause of jaundice.
The levels of enzyme suggests you have some type of acute Hepatitis.
If it is related to eating or drinking some contaminated food , more
likely you have Type-A Hepatitis. The other ones are Type-B & C.
Again , the type can be determined by blood tests with one hundred
percent accuracy.
Acute Hepatitis can last for 4-6 weeks before everything comes back
to normal. A smaller percentage of patients go into what is called
"Fulminant Hepatitis " and go into advanced liver failure.
Your Bilirubin levels are not not dangerously high and the enzyme
levels are fluctuating.
As for diet , you need to eat lot of protein rich foods. If you are not
a diabetic , carbohydrates , ice cream, milk shake, protein drinks are
good. Avoid fatty , greasy or fried foods. Fresh fruits and fresh
vegetables are good. Take a good Super B-Complex with Vit-C once
a day. You don't drink alcohol which is very good.
Try to take adequate rest and avoid heavy activities.
Routine household work is O.K.
Check the blood levels every 2-3 weeks and if they start going down
there is no problem. If the enzyme levels stay abnormal after six months
then it is called Chronic Hepatitis and this only happens with Type-B & C.
Hope this helps you.
I wish you well.
