LFT And Lipid Test Done. Suggest Diet And Exercise?

I am Sandipan, 23 yrs (male). 2 days back, I have undergone LFT and lipid profile tests. The results are bad. Serum GPT is 202 U/L and GOT is 56 U/L. Total serum protein is 8.9 g/dl. Alkaline phosphatase is 235 U/L. In the lipid profile, total serum cholesterol is 218 mg/dl (HDL= 53; LDL=134, VLDL=31) and serum triglycerides=157 mg/dl. Please help including diet and exercise.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic,
Serum GPT- 202 ( 7-56)
Serum GOT- 56 ( 5-40 )
Total Protein- 8.9 (6-8)
HDL- 53 (more than 40)
LDL- 134 (60-130)
VLDL-31 (2-38)
Serum Triglycerides- 157 (10-150)

Normal values are indicated in Brackets.

From your lab values, i found that you have elevated liver enzymes ie.. Transaminases.

There are plenty of causes for elevated liver enzymes.
Some common causes are
1. Alcohol intake
2. obesity
3. Hepatitis
4. Diabetes
5. Gall stones
6. Fatty liver disease.

You need further investigation like Ultrasound abdomen to identify the cause of elevated liver enzymes.

Please follow some basic measures to avoid liver damage.
If you are alcoholic, cessation of alcohol intake.
if you are obese, do exercise regularly and reduce fat intake
You need clinical examination, to rule out any hepatomegaly and jaundice.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
