From Last month she had some stomac issues like vomiting in morning, Not hungry feeling, Heavy Belly Feelings and itching on body. She visited doctor and doctor asked for some test like Blood CP, Sugar, Hepatitus, Cerum Alt. And in results HB was 9.5 and serum ALT was 41 u/l which was higher than normal value.Normal value was I am very much worried. Plz guide me. Is this value shows seruois liver problem. Thanks

Hello,
The 41 liver enzyme value cannot be considered high. So she is not having elevated liver enzymes value.
Her hemoglobin level is low. For that I suggest investigate as follow...
_Blood indices
_Peripheral smear examination report
_Serum ferritin, iron estimation
_Serum TIBC estimation
You can revert back with reports once done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
