Hello
Your findings suggests elevated liver enzymes like SGPT,SGOT and mild hepatomegaly with grade I fatty liver.
Increased SGPT,SGOT may indicate liver injury.
Increased liver enzymes in your case may be due to liver parenchymal disease.
Compromised liver may cause mild ascitis and mild bilateral pleural effusion.
It is important to know protein like serum albumin and globulin level.
You may need routine hemogram,viral markers,random blood sugar,renal function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME.
You may need medicines like tablet ursodeoxycholic acid tablet 300 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
Avoid alcohol if you take it.
You may need few more medicines after evaluation.
You are rightly suggested to take frusemide,it will expel excess water from body.
Get well soon.
Take Care
