Should I Be Worried About My SGOT And SGPT Being 52 And 82 Respectively?

I am a 54 year old female and I just re-read my blood work from May of this year. I googled something that looked high - which my nurse practitioner failed to mention to me. AST (SGOT) is 52 and my ALT (SGPT) is 82. Google says this is high! What can I do to lower that and is that indeed hight?

It is slightly high. But if you don't have any symptoms of liver dysfunction then no need to worry about that. Many a times it may seen in few patients without any problems. so no need to worry. just be relaxed. Thanks for using health care magic.
