Hepatitis with severe liver damage

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response,

I have gone through the reports attached. LFT shows elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. This indicates serious liver damage - Hepatitis.

Hepatitis can occur due to various causes. Infection with Hepatitis virus is one which can present with fever, nausea and vomiting.

I would recommend a visit to Gastroenterologist ASAP, who can order tests to identify which species of Hepatitis Virus is involved.

Need not worry there are antiviral medications which help against Hepatitis infections.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
