Brief Answer:
Hepatitis(Inflammation of the liver)

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for your query.

ALT is a liver enzyme and is elevated in liver cell damage.
This is what we call as hepatitis.
Hepatitis may be due to infection like Hepatitis A and B.
You may need to screen for the above infection by doing some blood test like HBsAg.
You may request your doctor for the blood test and Ultrasound of the abdomen to assess the the liver status.
If it is due to Hepatitis A it will subside and follow the current medication prescribed by your doctor. It is a liver protective drug.
Once the inflammation of the liver subsides then the level of ALT will return back to normal.
Follow it with serial LFT test.

Her fasting sugar is high. She needs to consult the doctor for Diabetic management.

Heart rate of 60 to 100/ min is normal. She needs to continue metoprolol.

Hope the answer helps you.

Brief Answer:
Jaundice is a manifestation of Hepatitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Her expected weight for height is 50 kgs.
She may be advised to lose weight through proper exercise and dieting.

Jaundice is a manifestation of Hepatitis.
Current treatment of Udiliv and fat restricted diet is enough to manage Hepatitis A.
It is caused due to contamination of water and food and it self limiting in nature.
Follow up with your doctor until the ALT returns to normal.
