Increased SGPT level indicates liver injury.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXX
Your findings suggests raised SGPT,Alkaline phosphatase and SGOT level.
Increased SGPT level indicates liver injury.Increase in SGPT may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.
Alkaline phosphatase increases in bone,liver disorders etc.It need clinical correlation.
Urine test is within normal limit.
In your case,increased SGPT may be related to alcohol intake.It is good that you have quit drinking and increased your physical activity.
You need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile.
Ultrasound of abdomen should be done to assess liver.
I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It will help in regeneration of liver cells.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You will be fine soon.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
