Hi,Last week i have attended general health checkup in APOLLO Clinic. Yesterday i have received my reports and the doctor suggested me to take Ursocol 300mg tablet twice in a day for one month to three months due to the Altered Hepatic Functions.Is is it major problem or small problem? Can i continue the medicine? because i am worrying about english medication. please suggest me in this regard.
Hello may have had elevated liver enzymes like ALT, AST. Increased ALT and AST may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, viral markers, lipid profile, ultrasound of abdomen. You are rightly suggested to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You should avoid saturated fat. Get well soon.
