Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
It was unfortunate to note that you contacted with jaundice and the liver function tests were abnormal.
The recent reports you have posted shows that the liver function has come back to normal.
Since you say you are fitness freak and you need to start workout, it is advisable that you can start it after another 2 weeks (1 month adequate rest in total).
That is because, even though the values indicate that it has reached normal, it takes about 1 week to 10 days for tissues to get back to normal function. Any insult during this period can result in reappearance of the disease.
Even when you start, start with mild exercises and gradually increase the intensity and duration.
Hope the information given would be useful.
All the best.
