What Causes Elevated Levels Of GAMMA GT And SGPT?
My liver tests suggest elevated levels of GAMMA GT (422) and that of SGPT (56). I do not drink. I am taking Omiperazole Group of drugs (Risek 20mg two times a day) due to pain in abdomen. I am also taking Panadol as well. May I know the reasons for elevated levels of GAMMA GT and SGPT?

Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
Noted elevated liver enzymes...
Since how long you are taking drugs ???
GGT present in bile canaliculi and alt in hepatocytes...
So affection of this two can lead its elevation by releasing in circulation...
USG done to detect fatty liver and cholangitis or gall stone condition.
CRP also done ..
If you have assoiated abdominal pain and jaundice then viral marker done for viral hepatitis....
Do you drink ???Alcohol is toxic to liver and it could be cause...
Rule out cardiac and muscular problem as they can also elevate liver enzymes...
