Both tests are clinically normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

I have read your query.

Your ALT (SGPT-73) and AST (SGOT)-53 are marginally elevated (but not high) and they do not have any clinical significance especially in the absence clinical symptoms. It will not impact on your health.

All these LFTs (SGPT,SGOT) are highly sensitive liver function tests,so they get easily raised following oily or fatty meal or even few alcohol drinks.

They are NOT dangerous,so do not worry about it and possibly avoid fatty/junk/oily foods further or alcohol if you take.

You can repeat the test for SGPT and SGOT after 3 or 4 weeks on fasting blood sample and most probably they will come down within normal limits.So there is NO active medical treatment required here.

However,you may take tab.Udilive 300 mg (a supplement) twice daily which is a bile acid, a substance naturally produced by the body and does not have any side effects.

You may also take syrup LIV-52 DS 2TSF daily which is a herbal preparation having hepato-protective property and may be beneficial for you.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip kabra

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome again,

Thanks for more information,

SGPT-73,SGOT-26,GGT 67 will be considered as a clinically normal despite they are marginally elevated (depending upon the lab variations) and they would have NO clinical significance in an otherwise healthy individual.

I would not be personally worried about it, since all these are tests highly sensitive liver function tests and they might get easily elevated as I said earlier.

Antibiotics and other medications are unlikely to cause this marginal elevation.

Albumin 5 is also completely normal (reference range 3.5 to 5.5).

So,there is no need to worry.

However,you may take tab.Udilive 300 mg (a supplement) twice daily or syrup LIV-52 as a liver supplement but there is no need of any active medical intervention.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip
