What Do These SGOT And SGPT Levels Indicate?
Question: I am male 61 yrs. sgot 225, sgpt 115
Brief Answer:
Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your findings suggests raised SGPT level.
Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,fatty liver,altered lipid profile,auto immune causes etc.
Increased SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.
You may need few more investigations like ultrasound of abdomen.
I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily to my patient for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
Avoid alcohol if you take it.
Triglyceride level is also borderline high.You should avoid saturated fat.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables.Increase your physical activity and go for brisk walk regularly.
If raised triglyceride level persists then you may need medicines.
Mildly decreased PCV(packed cell volume) is acceptable.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome
