<human>: Hi, Im a 17 year old boy. 17 around 63 and weigh 130-140 pounds. Recently, Ive been taking Ranitidine 150mg tablets 2 times a day. I had blood work done and have high liver enzymes. What are the chances of ranitidine being the cause? ( taking it for a week and a half. ) Stopped taking it due to paranoia.
<bot>: Thank you for posting query. Ranitidine rarely causes hepatitis (increased liver enzymes)kindly rule out viral hepatitis / alcoholic hepatitis by getting results of following tests:1. Viral serology (Bag, anti HBS, anti HCV, Anti HAD)2. Lipid profile3. Ultrasound abdomen advice:abstinence from "Alcohol and Chat Doctor.  - use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-walk 30 to 40 minutes every day.- or swimming is alternative to walking-NO sports and NO jogging-"recheck liver enzymes after 4 to 6 weeks".if any further questions, feel free to ask. Health professionals aim to diagnose properly and manage patients according to their limited knowledge.
