Brief Answer:
Stop alcohol till SGOT/SGPT normalize
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. Regular drink with increase in SGOT and SGPT with ultrasound showing fatty liver suggest that you have developed alcohol related liver disease in form of fatty liver and hepatitis. Most important and successful treatment is to quit alcohol at all. Heptral reduced the damage to liver so you may continue it. Other medicine which I found very useful in my patients is capsule evion 400mg once in day (Vitamin E). To lower cholesterol levels take tab atorvastatin. Among dietary advise:
1. Stop alcohol
2.Take less fat in your diet
3. Take lots of fruits and vegetables
4. Do regular exercise
You should stop drinking at least till SGOT and SGPT normalize.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health. If you have further query I will like to answer that too.
