Suggest Treatment For Elevated SGOT And SGPT Levels
Hi,I am a female 31 yrs old. I had slight nausea for last 2-3 days and got my LFT Done. It says normal bilrubin and slightly raised SGOT and SGPT levels. I had severe jaundice abt 10-12 yrs bk and got my gall stones removed 2 yrs bk due to gall stones. Can that be a reason for the elevated levels?Please suggest what I need to do with the elevated SGOT and SGPT.

Hello
Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile, medicines,auto immune causes etc.
Since you have slightly raised SGPT,you may only need follow up.
It is good that bilirubin level is within normal limit.
AST in non specific and it increases in many conditions.
Get well soon.
Take Care
