Hi. Since your Liver function tests are increased you need to undergo MRCP- this will help us more towards a proper diagnosis and it is possible that you may need ERCP to have an additions diagnosis and therapeutic too in the for of Sphincterotomy and stenting if need be arisen. You also have to continue hepato-protective medicines, Folic acid, multivitamins, have diet as advised by your dietitian to suit liver pathology. Also get kidney functions done.
This should help you a lot. Take bed rest till you are fully recovered. No outside food should be taken.
