Could Being Overweight Cause Fluctuating SGPT Levels With Other Liver Function Levels Normal?
Hi, I am 26 years old and I weight 103kgs... my height is 5 ft 7 in... I was tested some time ago and had elevated SGPT... It was 165... SGOT, GGT, Billirubin and all other Liver indicators were normal. After a month, my SGPT was 83... And in a few months SGPT was 27 and recently it was 16 with rest of the LFT normal. What could be the reason for this elevated SGPT?

Thanks for query.elevated ALT(sgpt) may be due to different reasons as you mention it was high and gradually decreased probable cause could be alcohol abuse if you had a binge or Drugs (ie, statins, aspirin, barbiturates, HIV medication, herbs etc if you had them any.you needed not worry much about their levels unless they are persistently elevated .regards
