Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Both your bilirubin and liver enzyme levels are very high.
The most likely cause is acute viral hepatitis.
You need to get tests done for Hepatitis A, B and E.
Also get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and PT/INR tests done.
You can take liver supportive medications and carbohydrate rich diet.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
