Will It Be Safe To Take Livolin Forte For Mild Hepatomegaly?
Hi doctor. My GGT reading in my liver function was abou 850; but a CT scan revealed no scar or damage to my liver and every other about the liver appeared normal except that it was mildly enlarged leading to a conclusion of mild hepatomegaly. I have been placed on Livolin Forte for 1 month and within 2 weeks of intake, my GGT dropped to 650. Every other parameter in liver has dropped to normal. What this portend for me and what is the hope of my liver normalising?

thank you for posting query.
increased GGT presentation but with Insufficient history.
increased ggt without increased liver enzymes maybe due to
1. alcohol abuse 2. gall bladder pathology 3. certain medication
have you ruled out all causes. underwent blood tests and radiological examination (ct and ultrasound of abdomen). if not, do it asap.
Livolin fort is safe to use.
further advice:
- abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs"
- LOW fat diet should be followed
- vegetables should be ingested daily
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- walk 30 to 40 minutes everyday.
- or swimming is alternative to walking
-"recheck GGT enzyme after 6 to 8 weeks".
if any further questions, feel free to ask.
