Suggest Treatment For Right Upper Abdominal Pain With High AST And ALT Levels
I am a 52 years old female weighing 75 kg. I am suffering from pain in the right upper abdomen for the last three weeks. I do not smoke or drink. I underwent liver function test, which indicates slightly high AST and ALT. Ultrasound shows a mildly enlarged liver. The doctor told me that I am suffering from fatty liver. I am taking these medicines - Razo (20 mg) daily before breakfast, Ursocol (300 mg) twice daily for a month and Penzyme syrup for one month. He has also asked me to reduce weight Thanks Mahin ========
Your findings suggests raised ALT and AST level. Increased ALT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,fatty liver,auto immune causes etc. Increased ALT may be due to fatty liver in your case. AST is non specific and it increases in many conditions.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,viral markers, You have been prescribed right medicines.Ursocol will help in regeneration of liver cells. You have been rightly suggested to reduce your weight. You should go for brisk walk and do exercise. It is good that you do not smoke or drink.
