Hello,

Yes, you need to concern as the direct bilirubin level has raised along with SGOT and SGPT.

This may be due to insult to the liver. The cause may be lipid-lowering drug or any infection. Get checked for HAV, HBsAg and urine urobilinogen and urine bilirubin once. Abdomen scanning is required.

Since the enzymes are slightly raised with good nutrition and avoiding fatty food and removing any insult to the liver will get back the values to normal. No extra medications are required for now.

You ECG looks good. So get back with the reports for further discussion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
