Question : My daughter 16 plus is suffering from omitting, loose motion and pain in stomach last two days. We have done one test SGPT which is 490. What is to done? It is very abnormal. Please advice daily diet.
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Elevated SGPT level indicates liver cell destruction. However it is very hard to tell the reason of it according to only one test. It can be caused by bile ducts obstruction due to gallstones, acute pancreatitis, viral liver infection, alcohol abuse, mediciens overdose.
It is strongly advisable for your doughter to have some diagnostics. Abdominal ultrasound, full blood work, liver tests (AST,ALT, GGTP), amylase, bilirubin, urine analysis. If no cause found in this tests, liver viral infection should be done as well.
Please do not neglect this symptoms.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Please advise dietry
Hello!
The liver regenerating diet contains boiled meat and vegetables. You should avoid spicy foods, fried foods and fatty foods. Alcohol and medicines metabolized in the liver (like Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) should be avoided as well. You can also use some liver improving supplements available without prescription.
It takes from 3 weeks to 3 months for the liver to get regenerated, so you should have liver tests repeated in a month or so.
Hope this will help.

Hello!
Like I`have written before, no diet will help. She needs proper diagnosis and treatment as, like you have noticed, without it her condition will not improve.
She should have checked GGTP,AP, amylase, bilirubin, HBV and HCV antibodies levels. and abdominal ultrasound. She might need surgery or ERCP procedure. Please do not neglect it as she wont improve without it.
Hope this will help.
