Brief Answer:
Continue with livolin forte, repeat liver function test after month
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Normal levels of AST(SGOT) may slightly vary depending on the individual laboratory's reference values. Typically the range for normal AST is reported between 10 to 40 units per liter. Mild elevations are generally considered to be 2-3 times higher than the normal range.
AST and ALT are reasonably sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases or conditions. But higher-than-normal levels of these liver enzymes should not be automatically equated with liver disease. It also depends on the entire clinical evaluation.
I would have suggested you to have lot fruits, veritable and milk and mild milk products in your diet, avoid alcohol and meat for month or so. As suggested by your friend continue to take livolin forte. Repeat the liver function test after month.
Regarding gastritis avoid spicy food, have small frequent meals instead of heavy,do walk for some time after food, avoid smoking and alcohol, it should reduce your symptoms.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely
