Hi, I am a 60 year old female and had my gall bladder removed in May as my HIDA scan showed no gall bladder activity.  Now I just had some blood work done and my SGOT levels were 54.  A year ago they were 20.  I do remember the Dr. made a comment that I have a fatty liver before the gall bladder surgery but that was all that was said about it.  Now I am pretty concerned with the blood levels.  I do not drink other than maybe 4 drinks a year!  What do you think I should do next? Or what could be causing this?  About 40 years ago I had Mono and it went undiagnosed for about 6 months because I had abnormal symptoms.  When it was diagnosed I had yellow eyes and yellow skin and they said I had liver damage from the mono since I had it for so long.
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. Fatty liver has many cause like Hepatitis B, C, Metabolic disorders, NAFLD, alcohol intake etc. So I will suggest you to visit a Hepatologist for evaluation who will advise tests and then manage accordingly. Meanwhile, there are few medicines which I found very useful in my patients are ursodeoxycholic acid and vitamin E. Do regular exercise and reduce your weight if you are overweight, avoid alcohol if you Chat Doctor. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
