Hi,
With regards to elevated GGT and SGPT for such a long time, I can say that:
- First of all, we need to rule out autoimmune disorder like autoimmune hepatitis or primary biliary cirrhosis.
He needs to do :
- ANA
- AMA
- SMA
to rule out autoimmune hepatitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
