Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX Well looking into the query I would like to tell you that it is definitely there that your liver functions are mildly deranged but it not necessary that you have jaundice . It is a very vague term and it needs to be established as to what is the cause for jaundice . You must get all your viral markers like HbsAg , HCV , HAV checked . A USG Abdomen is advisable to rule out fatty liver . Avoid alcohol and fatty food in the mean time . There is no treatment for jaundice , only supportive treatment is suggested . Drink plenty of liquids and glucose . Take care. Dr. Shruti
