I am really worried please tell me how serious it is and what should i do next? my husband age is 35 years, weight 75 kg height 5.6 ft
HelloElevated liver enzymes like increased GOT and SGPT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. Your husband may need clinical evaluation and investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg tablet twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. He should avoid saturated fat and go for brisk walk regularly. Avoid alcohol and smoking if he takes these things. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
