sir,I'm 30 wks pregnant. I have no history of liver diseases. Today, I've done some routine blood tests and surprisingly found that my SGPT & SGOT levels have suddenly gone very high, 87 & 80.50 respectively. Can you please tell me how to deal with this and how it can affect my baby? I am really scared. Kindly advise.

AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are reasonably sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases or conditions, and collectively they are termed liver tests or liver blood tests. So the next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common casue is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound. Other causes are viral hepatitis,cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases. To verify exact cause, US, bilirubin levels and tumor markers should be additionaly done Then appropriate treatment can be started. I hope I have answered you query.
