Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Hookworm infestation usually presents with itching, recurrent allergies, anemia.
Liver dysfunction is not a sign of Hookworm infestation.
Liver involvement is seen with Schistosomiasis.
I would advise you following:
1. Stool examination for ova and parasites
2. Chest Xray
3. Hemogram with ESR.

This infection is easily treatable.
Review with reports.
This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me..
Stay Healthy.
