Hello, luckyy,
Thank you for contacting HCM with your quiery. You are a young man
and have abnormal liver enzymes and elevated triglycerides.
I want you to make sure that other causes for elevation of liver
enzymes have been ruled out such as Hepatitis B, C or E that can
cause chronic hepatitis. There is also "Metabolic syndrome " in which
combination of obesity (Increased abdominal girth) , elevated lipids,
fatty liver on ultrasound and abnormal glucose tolerance like Type-2
diabetes.
You have been on Rosuvastatin for 4 months. I am not sure if you had
a baseline liver tests before you started this drug. All statins can cause
liver enzyme elevations and can in some cases cause serious liver damage.
I want you to look into this possibility.
If you are overweight , try to lose 10 lbs by dietary measures and excercise.
Limit fatty,greasy or fried foods. I am glad that you don't smoke or drink
alcohol. I suggest you start taking Vit-C 1000 mg.,Vit-E 800 i.u. daily and
a good super B-Complex vitamin daily. You can also take Nicotinic acid slow
release pill daily that would bring down triglycerides and increase HDL-C.
I wish you the very best.

Hi and welcome to HCM.
Yes,but you should find the cause of your elevated SGT. It can indicate soem liver damage it it maybe cant be cured with medicines. You are too young for having methabolic dyndrome but you should try first with changing dieatary and lifestyle habbits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol,smoking, fats,fast food and carbonated drinks. Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If not, then some hepatoprotective medicines can be presribed, but I suggest to go step by step.
Wish you good health.
