High LFT levels. Have Lichen planus. On steroid injections. Are these problems related?
Patient: hello Dr., i am 35, facing Lichen Planus for past two years, LFT is bad, Leucocytes 11,640, SGOT 39.8, SGPT 63.7, Alkaline Phosphatase 120.6, AG ratio 0.6, S Bilirubin 1.1 mg%.Got ultrasound done, the report is good.i have been taking steroids injections to treat Lichen Planus, took six last march'12 and 4 till april'13.Does Lichen Planus occur due to Liver Infection?please guide. Doctor: Welcome to healthcare magic. Thank you for your query.  Your liver function report is not so bad. SGPT is mildly elevated. SGOT, S.bilirubin & alkaline phosphatase are normal The major abnormality is altered AG ratio. But it should be correlated with clinical feature & other blood test.  There is no correlation between lichen planus & liver infection.  Take care.
