Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, Hi
Good morning!
I appreciate your concern for the regenerating capacity of the liver following sulfa drug allergy induce liver damage.
Most of sulfonamide related liver injuries are mild to moderate in severity and self-limited in course.
Well, the liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury and to adjust its size to match its host. It will repair completely after 30 days if no complications arise.
Complications of liver disease occur when regeneration is either incomplete or prevented by progressive development of scar tissue within the liver.
This occurs due to alcohol consumption, viral infections of the liver etc., continues to attack the liver and prevents complete regeneration.
Once scar tissue (cirrhosis) has developed it is very difficult to reverse that process.
As per the given data your Alkaline phosphatase and Serum creatinine levels are high indicating the kidneys involvement which need to correlated clinically by your treating physician.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards.
