Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
High SGPT, High Total Cholesterol, High Good Cholesterol, High Stress. Family History Of Heart Disease. Suggestions?
Recent annual labs show elevated SGPT. Repeat labs are negative for all Hep strains, but total cholesterol of 250. My good cholesterol is SUPER high. Has a US today and all is well. Extremely good diet, normal weight, gym 3-5 days a week. Super high stress ;( Bad genes? 36yr old female. Family history of heart disease. Former smoker.
How high is the SGPT? Values 3 or more times the upper limit are ‘significant’ and need aggressive investigation...
One must be blessed to have high good (HDL) cholesterol... Still, if the non-HDL (bad) cholesterol is high, one needs care / If already on life style modification, as you say, drug may be needed... / The total cholesterol does not count in such situation....
Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
