LIVER RELATED ISSUE
My Mother was a hypertension patient in 2017-18 and took hypertension pills such as Nebicard and Roseday. Then gradually, her BP subsided through ayurvedic medicines and she left these 2 medicines. Gradually her LFT levels started rising over the years.Now in 2023, she has high elevated SGOT and SGPT Levels.
SGOT- 123 , SGPT- 146. ESR-26. cholestrol LDL -132 and Non HDL cholestrol - 158. Hep A,B, C negative. Although, ELISA 63.07, ASMA Negative 1:40 .LKM Negative. Attached Ultrasound.
Is there a correlation with BP? Doc says its Fatty Liver Grade 2 and completely reversible.And Fibroscan has 336 CAP, E 14.9 kpa. She has been prescribed medicines UDCA 450 mg and CIROSSAM 400 mg and advised to lose weight And told its grade 2-3 Fibrosis.
I wanted to ask whether there is a direct correlation of heart and liver functions and we should run some other tests for heart and liver correlation like Doppler colour tests?
as per my mother's case or not.

Possibilities are
1. NASH - fatty liver related liver damage - can be reverted with medications
2. DILI - drug induced (ayurvedic) liver damage : which needs confirmation and assess damage caused
3. Autoimmune hepatitis AIH to be ruled out
Did not understand ELISA is positive ( ELISA test for what is positive)
Next Steps
IgG total, Anti HBc total
May need Liver biopsy for diagnosis of AIH - which needs specific treatment in form of steroids or thiopurines
