General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
I would like to tell you that because you were chronic alcoholic and you had gall bladder problem, your liver could be damaged somewhat and that reflects as high SGPT and SGOT. But now you have stopped drinking and removed your gall bladder, also taking udiliv and liv, so liver tissue will start to recover.

In initial 3 months or so, you can have somewhat high liver enzyme levels, so i would recommend you to repeat the liver enzyme tests after 3 months of treatment and if it remains still on the higher side, then i would suggest you to go for ultrasound to find out the extent of injury and discuss with your physician.

So don't worry, take enough precautions like stop drinking alcohol, avoid fatty foods and take healthy diet, take medications, then your liver enzymes will be normal after 3 months or so.

Hope this answers your question and feel free to ask any further questions.
