Can Having Undergone Angioplasty Increase SGOT Levels?
I am 61 years, 163 Cm, 70 kg. Angioplasty was done in 2005 and due stent problem again in 2011. I take statins (10 mg once a day) since 2005. It has raised my SGOT to 57 which I know at the moment is not alarming. I think I cannot stop taking statins. Is there a way to decrease my SGOT values or at least arrest to present values?
hi, sgot is mildly elevated and needs no intervention. I may be because of fatty liver as well. so get one ultrasound liver done which help to rule out fatty liver. Consume low sugar, fat and oil diet along with regular exercises. Also avoid alcohol if any. Don't worry about sgot.
