Do Liver Cancer Occur Due To Elevated Liver Function Levels ?
I had a liver function test that showed my sgpt result at 99 U/L and my sgot result at 61 U/L. I have had chronically elevated liver function levels but they were always just above normal and were never considered suspicious. Now my doctor is sending me to a Gastroenterologist and I'm concerned that I could have liver cancer or Hepatitis. Should I be concerned or is this likely nothing?

For final diagnosis if cause not clear liver biopsy done for histopathological examination...
