Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.


The Probable causes:

There are a few things I am worried here:

Abnormal liver function test could be due to hepatitis C infection and non-alcoholic liver disease can occur as a result of cholesterol deposition in the liver or active hepatitis B infection or alcoholic liver disease. Also, you have high cholesterol, low vitamin D and B12. Are you taking any medication for this?

Investigations to be done:

1. I suggest you to do the complete hepatitis B panel including hepatitis E antigen and antibody, hepatitis B core antigen and antibody and hepatitis B surface antibody.
2. Also, I suggest you to do the hepatitis C antibody and an ultrasound of the liver.

Treatment plan:

I suggest you to take 50000 IU of Vitamin D once a week for 12 weeks and get B12 injection or 1000 mg of vitamin B12 daily for a week. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with their consent.

Regarding follow up:
