The doctor said their main concern is the Jaundice (abnormal liver function tests Serum Bilirubin 2.5 with Direct 1.2 and Indirect biliru bin 1.3, SGOT 90 and SGPT 75) secondary to starvation.
He said that in addition to this, uric acid and LDH levels were high. Ketone bodies were still present. Naidu was being carefully monitored by a team of doctors including liver specialist and a nutrition specialist.
