Hi Ms Marina, How are you? My name is Chat Doctor.  I am a Liver transplant Surgeon and I hope to answer your question today. I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. By your symptoms, you seem to be suffering from active Hepatitis C infection (elevated SGPT) and also seem to have developed a complication of HCV namely portal hypertension (enlarged spleen). This is usually preceded by development of cirrhosis of the liver. Please do get yourself checked for it. Although a level of 94 is not very high, but given the fact that you have HCV, it should be considered significant. Regarding your diet, please avoid taking excessive fatty food as this taxes the liver. Also make sure to take in adequate calories. If you are not feeling hungry, then, please eat 5-6 meals a day instead of just 3 meals. Also make sure to eat a lot of fresh fruit as this is rich in anti-oxidants. Besides refrain from any alcoholic beverages. Hope this helps and hope you start to feel better. Please do write back for further clarifications. Have a great day
