Brief Answer:
Progression of fibrosis?Need confirmation

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your concern.

The elevated SGPT and SGOT are related to progression of the underlying fibrosis.

The lipid profile has improved with Tab Roliptin.

Progression of fibrosis is an continuous and an irreversible phenomenon.

I advise you to get a repeat liver scan .if possible liver biopsy after consulting your Surgical Gastroenterologist.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
