Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

Bulky liver may be the feature of jaundice, though other conditions may also associated with bulky liver, even normal obese person may have bulky liver.

There might be following causes in your case for bulky liver and marginally elevated Liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT):
- NASH (Non Alcoholic Steato Hepatitis): It usually present in obese person due to insulin resistance.
- Or Developing Jaundice.
- It just a incidental finding.

I would like to advise you-
1) Follow your daily walking.
2) Keep your weight under control.
3) Avoid fatty, spicy food. Avoid high calorie food if you are obese.
4) Can use Live 52 & B complexes as currently using.

Watch for symptoms like yellowish discoloration of eyes & skin (urine will be yellow due to B complex use), increase in abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting if these symptoms appear repeat Liver function test immediately and consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Otherwise repeat LFT after 2 to 3 weeks.
If there is deterioration of LFTs there is need for further evaluation.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
