What Causes Elevated SGPT Levels?
Hi,I have taken excessive alcohol for 5 days continuously after a 2 months break and on the 7th day I had LFT and found my SGPT is 51 U/L whereas the normal range is 41 U/L. Our company doctor said that it is because of excessive alcohol and the elevated range is negligible. Can I wait for one more week to go for another round of LFT or it is better to consult a specialist immediately. All other counts are normal except SGPT. My age is 36 and weight is 65. Please guide me. Thanks in advance.Regards,Srini
