Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 29yrs old and was diagnosed with hbv (the doctor said its chronic because IgG is positive)in February this year. i have LFT which indicates elevated ALT of 78, since then till date I have coloured urine, I have also gone for scan which says the liver is normal. sometimes i feel pain below my chest. My question is: what could be the reason for the coloured urine that have lasted this long?
Dark colour urine is most likely not related to chronic HBV. Dark colour urine may be due to many reasons like infection,due to medicine etc. You may need clinical evaluation and few more investigations. Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,renal function test,urine RE/ME. Elevated ALT may be due to chronic HBV infection. Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
