Hospitalized Due To Dengue/breakbone Fever,Need To Lower SGPT Level Further
My sgpt it was at 600 about 5 months ago when I was hospitalized due to dengue/breakbone fever. It was constantly going down since then (300 about 4 months ago and 160 as of last month). My question is: Are there food that I need to avoid? should I completely avoid drinking alcohol from now on? Also, what type of exercise should I need to do to lower it further?

Hello
Your SGPT will gradually normalise. Dengue is not a chronic disease. So the damage to your liver is temporary. There are no strict diet restrictions which you should follow. But it is always good to avoid oily & spicy foods. Avoiding alcohol altogether is a very good idea, although it is not must in your case.
Take care.
