Elevated SGOT And SGPT Levels. Heavy Bleeding And Clotting. Need To Get Checked?
Hi, I am 44 years old lady. My reports show 60 SGOT and 67 SGPT. Earlier it was higher and I took Udiliv 300 for 3-4 months. It came to around 40. I have the problem of high bleeding and clotting. The doctor had to do premenstrual D/C but they deferred it saying that I have to lower the SGOT,SGPT levels. Is it possible or should I consult any other doctor?
Hi and welcome to HCM. These are mildly elevated liver enzymes and dont indicate serious liver damage so i dont think this can cause clooting abnormalities. Its elevation is common found in many disorders must most usually is alcoholic, viral, autoimmune or toxic liver damage. The most common liver disorders is fatty liver which can be found in healthy people, but usually is resulting from elevated blood lipids, overweight and elevated blood sugar. If ultrasounds didnt find anything and viral markers are negative then you have no reason to be concerned. YOu should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated drinks. Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If not, then some medicines can be prescribed. YOu dont have to lower SGOPTs, you have to treat prothrombin time and clotting abnormalities if there is some. Wish you good health.
