Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Alanine transaminase or SGPT level is extremely increased.
2. Liver injury commonly causes it. A correlation with SGOT ratio and alkaline phosphatase level necessary to evaluate for injury or any obstructive cause..
3. Liver biopsy would be necessary to evaluate various causes of liver injury from infection, inflammation or benign fatty change. Ultrasound abdomen to identify localized cause is necessary.
4. Level is more than 15 times high, and needs to be seriously evaluated. Early morning stretching of the capsule due to fatty liver, could be cause of early morning pain and upper abdomen pain. Further investigations and lab reports necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
