Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcare magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I am here to help you.
Your liver enzymes are raised which requires evaluation of the cause.
Most common causes of such liver derangement's are Alcohol, Viral hepatitis, Non alcoholic fatty liver disease, Drugs.
So, we should evaluate the other causes, and if no other cause is found, you would require treatment for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
I would advise you to get following investigations done:
1. HBsAg for Hepatitis B.
2. Anti HCV Antibody for Hepatitis C.
3. Ultrasound Abdomen.
A lot many times, the liver dysfunction is due to Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). So, if you have any evidence of fatty liver in Ultrasound and your other tests are negative, this rise is liver enzyme would be attributed to NAFLD. For this you need to reduce your weight, reduce fat in diet and if required your doctor may prescribe you Ursedeoxycolic Acid for the same. Make sure that you don't take any pain killers without your doctor's advise.
First of all get the mentioned tests and then based on the cause, we would go for further investigations.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy
