Brief Answer:
This is just mild elevation of SGPT and SGOT
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr XXXXXXX
1) I would like to know about your complete liver function test (LFT), your diet habbit, habbit for alcohol intake, hepatitis-B and hepatitis-C virus status, USG abdomen if done.
2) Purpose to ask is, if you have liver disease where bilirubin is above normal value along with elevated SGPT and SGOT, then Liverol forte might have beneficial liver protective effect.
3) Values of SGPT and SGOT, mentioned by you are not that much elevated that particular medication would be required for that. But yes, without knowing full history, liver function test it is not advisable to comment about beneficial role of this medication.
4) Generally when value of SGPT and SGOT increase three-fold than normal value then it require medical attention. Elevated value suggest that liver cells has high work load, either due to more raw material to work or due to decreased function of liver cells
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

Brief Answer:
Not sure to continue medicine based on reports
Detailed Answer:
Well,
After seeing your complete report, I am not sure whether Liverol forte has any protective role.
But yes you need few precaution to get it worsened
1) reduce fat (lipid, oil) content in diet
2) Take carbohydrate rich (sugar) diet, providing that you are not a patient of diabetes.
3) Do regular mild or moderate exercise
I also suggest when you do follow-up blood test after some time, add lipid profile test (for blood cholesterol) in that

Brief Answer:
No need for so frequent and so many blood tests
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First of all there was no need to undergo tests for hepatitis.
Even if you consume alcohol slight in higher amount or if your diet has more of lipid then these minimal elevation would be there, but these values are insignificant to consider as damage on liver or to start any treatment.
As a precaution just take care not to take alcohol much and to reduce fat-enriched food in diet (oil, ghee, butter).
There is no need to worry too much or to do so frequent blood tests for these values of SGPT and SGOT.

Brief Answer:
This elevation is acceptable
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I apologize for late reply
1) This minor fluctuation is value is within acceptable range. There is no need to worry for such minor changes unless you have symptoms of abdominal pain, jaundice, nausea.
2) SGPT and SGOT increase suggest increase load on liver tissue for metabolism and it might occur from consumption of alcohol, fat-enriched diet, excessive high dose of pain killers.
3) But as I mentioned increase of SGPT from 75 to 90 is acceptable (upto 100-120) and SGOT is near normal 42 and 41

today i am going for usg reportand i will change the dr .and can i take the medicines to lower down the sgpt levels
Brief Answer:
Yes you can take medicine but its role would be questionable
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I apologize for late reply.
1) Yes you can take medicine to lower down SGPT level, but its role for such marginally elevated SGPT level is doubtful. Instead I suggest to start with diet modification first, i.e. protein rich diet, carbohydrate rich diet (provided you do not have diabetes), low fat containing diet, use of omega-3 fatty acid containing oil for food preparation
