Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
SGPT of 63 is high, but is not in dangerous level.
It indicates a problem with liver. The most common causes of elevated SGPT are alcohol intake and medicine-related (such as analgesics).
As of now, avoid alcohol or any analgesics (pain-killer tablets).
The blood test (Liver function test-LFT) may be repeated after two weeks. If SGPT is still high, you may consult a gastroenterologist.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM

Hi, Welcome to HCM
Firstly about the reports, billirubin, SGPT, ALP , globulin, urea all are within normal limit.
SGOT is elevated. Creatinine is in higher normal range. Uric acid is increased mildly.
Now, SGOT is increased in many conditions. But in all these condition the other parameters would be abnormal.
So, in cases of isolated elevation of SGOT , it is a warning for your health.
You have to do following things.
1. Avoid rich diets.
2. Avoid alcohol.
3. consult with your treating doctor for taking some udiliv / LV52 like drug for protection of liver.
4. Do an Ultrasound Scan of whole abdomen to rule out presence of any fatty liver or any liver pathology.
Regards.
