Is it very urgent that i take the treatment and how critical is my condition. i am 5 feet 11 inch tall and weigh 90 kgs. I was diagnosed with typhoid last year July 2015. Since the past 1 month i was eating only once a day. I used to eat very well but from the past 3 months i am not feeling hungry.

Brief Answer:
Liver dysfunction related to daily work stress.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I worked through all your attached documents.
As per the reports, there mild elevation of liver enzymes. This suggests mild liver derangement.
This has resulted from excess stress on your body secondary to night shifts and improper food habits.
Infrequent diet can cause starvation like metabolic picture causing elevation of GGT enzymes.
This isn't really serious condition to worry about.
Working in day shifts and adopting a healthy lifestyle with good dietary management will correct the liver dysfunction.
Consume meals thrice a day, 3 liters of water/day and fruits like Apple and Pomegranate can help to quickly recover.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
