HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Hepatitis C is a viral infection involving the
liver. It can resolve or progress to chronic infection of the liver.
SGOT is one of the liver enzymes, it is also known as AST. There are 4 enzymes used to assess the liver: SGOT,
alkaline phosphatase, GGT and SGPT (also known as ALT).
These enzymes can indicate if the liver is not working normally though they are also found in other parts of the body.
Your SGOT result is 60 and you quoted the lab range of 15 to 37, this means that it is above the upper limit of 37.
You would have to look at your previous values to see if this is increasing, decreasing or remaining stable.
In terms of the x ray- degenerative changes mean break down. It may refer to
arthritis.
It is not likely due to the hep c virus.
YOu may want to discuss the result with your doctor.
I hope this helps
