Dear Deepak.
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.

I can understand your state of mind when you saw these LFT report values. I will try my best to answer your questions.

I wish to know if you consume alcohol in any form? if yes, I need to know the duration of consumption, frequency and the exact name of the alcohol. this is bound to affect the interpretation of your LFT report.

Your LFT has enzymes SGPT and SGOT in the higher range of normal. GGTP and Alkaline phosphatase are in the normal range.

The elevations in SGPT and SGOT must be more than 2 to 3 times normal to be significant clinically. this is not the case with you. hence I would like to reassure you that your LFT is normal. Don't worry much about it and relax.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
