What Does SGOT=85.47IU Abd SGPT=176.3IU From LFT Suggest?

SIR, i got my LFT done. Enzymes SGOT=85.47IU and SGPT=176.3IU. These enzymes are increases day by day, as in my last LFT report (done a month ago) these enzymes were half in their value. What is the effect of these enzymes on the normal functioning of body? Can these increasing enzymes cause liver failure? Is this too dangerous for health?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Increased SGPT indicates liver injury.
Increased SGPT may be due to hepatitis,altered lipid profile,autoimmune causes,medicines etc.
SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.

You need clinical examination and few other investigations.
You need few more investigations like random blood sugar(RBS),renal function test(RFT),complete lipid profile,Liver function test,viral markers,urine RE/ME.

You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
You should avoid fried and junk food and avoid alcohol completely if you take it.

Medicines should be prescribed after complete investigations.
I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily after food for three months.This help in regeneration of liver cells.

Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.

Take Care
