Brief Answer:
Not concern if there is no sign of live failure
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
sgpt alone doesn't mean much and if there is no bilirubin elevation and no coagulation disorders then value of 900 isn't threatening her. This can be side effect of chemo and many other medications.it usually takes months to stabilize liver markers so just follow doctors advice and everything will be fine. Wish you good health. Regards
