Hi Pasana,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. SLE is a systemic autoimmune disorder.
2. Elevated ALT levels at this range definitely indicates hepatitis. Associated yellowish eyes also reaffirms the same.
3. Yes, she has hepatitis. She will require steroids along with immune therapy.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
