What Causes Elevated SGPT Levels In Liver Function Test?
Hello Doctor,
A week ago I had been to a skin specialist as I am suffering from hair loss for a few days. The doctor suggested me to perform some blood tests like as : CBC , ESR , SGPT , Bilirubin. In the result,
Bilirubin (Total) = 2.9 mg/dl
SGPT = 104 U/L
ESR= 01 mm (1st Hour)
Since Bilirubin & SGPT levels were high I visited a Gastroenterologist who suggested me to do some more tests & the results of those are:
Anti HEV - IgM = 0.070 ,, (Negative)
Anti HBc - IgM = 0.04 ,, (Negative)
HBs Ag = 0.14 ,, (Negative)
ESR = 07 mm (1st Hour)
Billirubin Total = 3.40 mg/dl
Billirubin Direct = 0.13 mg/dl
Billirubin Indirect = 3.27 mg/dl
I guess, I am not suffering from jaundice since there is no physical symptom of that.
I am trying to lose some weight so controlling my diet.
When I visited the doctor with these test results he told me that i have "Gilbert's Syndrome". Thus my Bilirubin level is High. He did not mention the reason for elevated SGPT level.
Can you please explain why my SGPT Level is so high ? & what kind of harm can it cause ?

Thank you for posting query at HCM.
whats your age? height? weight?
are you OBESE?
are you take any sort of medication?
your BILIRUBIN is slightly high.
"do a Complete Blood cell test and an abdominal ultrasound"
and your viral serology is negative but did you get a "Lipid Profile" test?
increase in the level of liver enzymes reflect an INJURY to the Liver. medically, the condition is know as "Hepatitis".
if your obese, liver injury maybe due to excess of triglycerides.
advice:
- abstinence from "Alcohol and drugs"
- very LOW or fat free diet should be followed for couple to few weeks
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports), though you may walk daily for 40minutes, NO jogging
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
-recheck liver enzymes after 4 to 6 weeks.
- reduce weight if overweight
wish you good health.
further queries are welcomed.
