Hi, 9 days back, I underwent LFT test and came to know my Bilirubin, SGOT and SGPT levels were quiet high which indicated Jaundice. Since then I am on proper diet with no oily/fatty foods, lot of fruits and juices. Now I think I am recovering. What s the best way to know that I have recovered fully? Should I go for LFT test again and if those levels are normal, should I assume I have recovered ? Thanks.
Hello, I had gone through your question carefully and can understand your concern very well.  In case of jaundice, treatment of underlying cause is required. Mostly it may be due to viral hepatitis and requires only supportive treatment. So in your case, I guess it might be mild hepatitis and does not require any kind of medications. Have a proper diet containing high glucose, avoid oily foods, have a fresh fruit juices and take sufficient rest.  The best way to know the recovery of jaundice is to measure ALT levels, which will slowly lower down as the recovery is in progress. So I would suggest you to go for serum ALT levels and if its in normal range, then you have recovered fully.  So don't worry and take enough precautions, so relapse will not occur. Hope this answers your question and let me know if you have any further relevant queries.
