I am in perfect health. Whether this increase is due to exercise or there may be some other cause. Should i go for testing again. Confused pl. Suggest..

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
S G O T & S G P T ( A S T & A L T ) the normal range is 5-50 I U .
If value is mote than 300 I U than specific .
In your case s g o t is usually also found in skeletal muscle , hence may be due to excessive activities of skeletal muscle due to gym.
Need not to worry at all .
Cholesterol is also normal.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
