What Causes Elevated Liver Enzymes?

What could a high SGPT (134), high SGOT (65), high GGTP (182) and high AP (173) indicate. Just 3 months back I had borderline high SGPT and GGTP readings. Have completely cut don on alcohol and fried stuff. So was actually expecting a better set of results. These are a bit of a shocker. Am on cholesterol reducing drugs (statin). Is there any connection to that?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

You are taking cholesterol reducing drugs...
But drug you have not mentioned....
Certain drug can affect liver and so you might have drug induce liver affection....
So you consult doctor for it....
You might given another safe drug like atorvastatin which has less chance of liver affection....

Meanwhile continue doing exercise and less fatty food....
Along with regular exercise advised....

USG done for primary work up...
If fatty liver or gall stone then udiliv tablet given....

If suspicion then viral marker done for rile out chronic HBSag like Carrier...

Avoid alcohol.....

Keeping these in mind consult gastroentetologist....

Take care.
