My son ,16 years of age, was diagnosed with Jaundice on 18th Feb 11. His bilirubin count was 2.4, Conjugated-1.6 and unconjugated -0.8. On 4th March his Bilirubin count came 1 and AST-57 and ALT-63. Then on 15th March his test report showed... bilirubin count was 0.9 but AST-68 and ALT-78. I am concerned that why has the enzyme level increased? The first two weeks he had an absolutely fat free diet and now also he is taking bare minimum oil in his diet.
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The rise in levels of enzymes is just marginal. There is nothing to worry. Decrease the protein content also in his diet. It takes around 15-20 for liver enzymes to come back to normal levels after a single episode of jaundice.
