Suggest Treatment For Kidney Infection

3 days ago I was in the emergency room for a kidney infection. My blood work showed high ALT and AST of my liver. I am not alcoholic or in general abusive to my body...I did a 43 day protocol of hcg drops. That has been over with since mid-June. What would create the elevated levels?

Hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understood your concern

1.reason for raised ALT and AST is secondary to infection
2.most of the infections irrespective of their location leads to mild elevations in liver enzymes
3.if the levels are more than 3 times of normal then it is significant
4.viral infections to liver, obesity also causes

I can suggest you to get done
1.complete hemogram
2.HbSAg
3.anti HCV
4.usg abdomen

once the infection settle down, liver enzymes also come down.

get done the above tests and ll take a call depending upon reports

hope this helps you
any further questions please let me know
thanks
