hi
did you d test for hep c?
if not do it to be sure that its not due to virus .the doc should know what cause this by asking you to do further tets

Hi there, Lynn and Stef have given you good advice.  You need to see a liver specialist.  Something is wrong, as you know, you do have something going on.  You have jaundice and your SGPT is highly elevated SGOT at least 3 times what it should be.
As Stef said there are many other  virus's diseases you need to be tested for
In the mean time you should try to drink a lot of water to help your liver avoid alcohol, red meat and fried or greasy foods.
Take Care

Someone with jaundice is likely to have a yellow look to their skin and the whites of the eyes.

Many newborn babies develop jaundice, but the condition can affect people of all ages. This article looks at older children and adults.

Jaundice is caused by a build-up of bilirubin in the blood and body tissue. That build-up is often due to conditions affecting the liver, such as cirrhosis, hepatitis or gallstones.

If someone shows signs of jaundice, doctors will look to treat the condition that's causing it rather than jaundice itself.

If you have signs of jaundice, seek medical advice.

Causes of jaundice
When red blood cells break down naturally in a 120-day cycle, bilirubin is produced as a waste by-product.

The journey bilirubin takes out of the body's waste disposal systems takes it carried by blood to the liver. There is it combined with bile (digestive fluid) from the gallbladder.

This mixture exits the body through faeces and urine. If everything is working well, faeces should be brown and urine light yellow.

Infections or damage can disrupt this process, leading to jaundice.
Pre-hepatic jaundice
If an infection or medical condition makes the red blood cells break down sooner than usual, bilirubin levels rise. This is known as pre-hepatic jaundice.

Conditions which may trigger this include malaria, sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia, Gilbert's syndrome, hereditary spherocytosis and Crigler-Najjar syndrome.
Intra-hepatic jaundice
If the liver is damaged, it may be less able to process bilirubin. This causes what doctors call intra-hepatic jaundice.

The liver damage may be a result of causes that include hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, glandular fever, liver cancer, illegal drug use including ecstasy, and paracetamol overdose.

Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can be a cause of cirrhosis of the liver and jaundice.
