Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.
As per the records he is having abnormal liver function and the liver enzymes are in thousands. Viral hepatitis is the most common cause of this pattern of liver enzymes elevation. He is found to be positive for Hepatitis E. Hepatitis E is a virus that affects the liver and cause jaundice. It is acquired through contaminated food and water. It is a self limiting infection and complete recovery can be expected in a few weeks time.Till then he can take liver supportive medications like silymarin/milk thistle.
