Does the LFT test result vary before and after taking food? Also, why are there contrasting results for tests done within a gap of 4 to 5 hours?

Yes, LFT can show slight fluctuation, but major variations within hours need retesting under fasting. Please repeat the LFT test fasting for consistency. Take this to rule out variability.

Hi, my wife is 4 months pregnant and according to her LFT test report, SGOT is 40.16 and SGPT is 53.17. What is the impact of this on the growth of the fetus and how can these levels be reduced? Thanks.

When I eat anything I feel pain in my liver and stomach. I always feel tired and there is continuous body pain. I am attaching my recent report from a few days ago.

My recent liver profile test shows a high GGT level, while all other parameters, including SGOT and SGPT, are within normal limits.
