Hello Doctor, My age is around 30Yrs (MALE) , I had a severe pain in the lower back and spine. I was asked to take the test, SGOT, S.Createnin, Blood picture etc. The other tests are normal but SGOT reading is 54. Doctor says that I have a fatty liver and suggested URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID(150MG) twice a day. Pl suggest.With RegardsRiz
Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease. Advice for fatty liver:URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID maybe ingested as directed by your treating physician - abstinence from "Alcohol" - LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages-decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat-green vegetables should be ingested daily-use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-reduce weight if overweight/obese-"recheck liver enzymes after 16 to 24 weeks" and/or ultrasound. Any further questions are welcomed. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good health. Regards, Chat Doctor.
