Working diagnosis: acute hepatitis with jaundice and severe liver-cell injury, with probable recent dengue infection.
I cannot responsibly give a definitive final diagnosis from this report alone. The positive dengue IgM supports a recent dengue infection, and dengue can involve the liver, but the liver abnormalities are severe enough that other urgent causes must be excluded. A 2024 systematic review confirms that dengue-associated liver involvement can cause raised ALT/AST, bilirubin, ALP and GGT, and requires early clinical assessment and monitoring (systematic review, PMID 38923215).

Why this is urgent

  • ALT/SGPT 1607.7 U/L: about 29 times the upper limit
  • AST/SGOT 166.8 U/L
  • Total bilirubin 7.69 mg/dL, mostly direct bilirubin: consistent with jaundice/cholestasis
  • CRP 15.78 and ESR 32: inflammation is present
  • Dengue IgM positive, NS1 and IgG negative: compatible with a recent or later-stage primary dengue infection, depending on when symptoms started.
  • Platelets are currently normal at 2.39 lakh/µL, which is reassuring, but this does not make the liver injury safe to ignore.

What must be ruled out today

A clinician needs to check for:
  1. Acute hepatitis A, B, and E
  2. Drug-induced liver injury, especially paracetamol/acetaminophen, antibiotics, herbal or gym supplements, alcohol, or other medicines
  3. Dengue-associated hepatitis
  4. Bile-duct obstruction or gallbladder/liver disease by ultrasound
  5. Less commonly, autoimmune or ischemic hepatitis.
Please seek same-day emergency or hospital assessment, ideally with a physician or gastroenterologist. You need repeat liver tests and, importantly, PT/INR, kidney function, blood glucose, hepatitis viral markers, and an abdominal ultrasound. INR is essential because a normal albumin does not exclude early impairment of liver function.
Until assessed, avoid alcohol, herbal supplements, gym supplements, self-prescribed antibiotics, and pain medicines, particularly aspirin/ibuprofen/diclofenac. Do not take paracetamol/acetaminophen unless the treating doctor specifically approves the dose in view of the current liver tests.
Go to the emergency department immediately if there is confusion, unusual sleepiness, repeated vomiting, bleeding, severe abdominal pain, inability to drink fluids, reduced urine, fainting, or worsening yellowing. Lab reports need clinical context for a final diagnosis, as MedlinePlus explains.
