> What treatment to be done for this
Your liver tests are markedly abnormal, particularly AST 1146 U/L and ALT 486 U/L, indicating acute liver injury that requires urgent medical evaluation.
This pattern is not typical of fatty liver and may be likely due to various medical conditions like acute viral hepatitis, drug- or herbal-induced liver injury, alcohol-related injury, ischemic hepatitis, or other less common causes.
The mildly elevated bilirubin further supports ongoing liver inflammation.
Next Steps
A) Do not self-medicate.
B) Seek an assessment by a physician or gastroenterologist/hepatologist
C) You will likely require repeat liver tests, INR/PT, viral hepatitis panel, abdominal ultrasound, and a detailed review of medications, supplements, alcohol, and toxin exposure to identify the cause and guide treatment.
Health Tips
A) Avoid alcohol, gym supplements, herbal products, and unnecessary medications (including excess paracetamol) until evaluated.
B) Seek immediate emergency care if you develop yellowing of the eyes, confusion, excessive drowsiness, persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or bleeding, as these may indicate acute liver failure requiring urgent specialist management.
