What Does This LFT Report Indicate?
Hello sir/madam. I am suffering from jaundice right now. I came to know about it 12 days back. I was hospitalised for 9 days. On the day of discharge my bilirubin level was 5.1 and my (SGOT,SGPT) was 136 and 456 respectively. Now it s been 12 days that i am suffering from jaundice. I wanted to ask that can i smoke hash or cigerattes during jaundice or not? If not, how much time do i have to wait? Also can i drink alcohol?
