Conjucted-bilirubin (Direct) 0 (<0.2)

also i had mononucleosis 1.5 years ago and liver function test result was normal only bilirubin was 23.1 (<18.7 mol/L)  1.35 (<1.1 mg/dl) other AST,ALT,GT AND ALP was normal.

I do not drink alcohol (very rare). Now doctor Advised not to eat fried food. I need advice, when is recommended to repeat liver function test and how many time do i need diet? Do i need another blood tests?

Hello
First of all thank you for your answer.  I went to the Gastroenterologist, she saw my  LFT and gave advice to make b and c hepatite tests. Today i made tests for c and b hepatite and the result will be for monday. Is this possible that i have c hepatite? when i made my LFT and had flu and i take 9 paracetamol pills in one week, may this effect in LFT test? I made liver echoscopy  and i have increased echogenicity of the liver too. Is my tests results danger? Is my alt and ggt results very increased?

Hi there!

The LFT may be repeated after 3-6 months. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and dietary modification such as limiting the intake of fried food items are healthy changes and should be followed for lifetime. Strict restriction may be followed for 3-6 months before a repeat LFT is done. I would suggest discussing the situation and the suggested management plan in detail with your treating hepatologist.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
