He has ALT 66.30 IU/L, AST 54.80 IU/L, GGT 75.00 IU/L. What does it mean? Is it a chronic condition? Note: He drank alcohol the night before he got the biochemistry test.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mildly elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) can occur temporarily, especially if alcohol was consumed the night before the test. These levels suggest liver irritation but do not confirm chronic liver disease by themselves. It is best to avoid alcohol and repeat the liver function test after 2 to 3 weeks to check if levels return to normal. If they remain high, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a LIVER FUNCTION TEST (LFT) Test or Take a LIPID PROFILE Test

View allI have been experiencing a cold for the last five years, and my doctor advised that I may need to manage it long term. My recent blood tests show Hb 13.8 gm, TLC 16,100/cu mm, Neutrophils 87, Lymphocytes 10, Eosinophils 1, Basophils 0, and ESR 25 mm in the first hour. My biochemistry report shows SGPT/ALT 62.6 U/L and SGOT/AST 71.2 U/L. The doctor has recommended a work up for eosinophilia. Could you please review these results and advise on the next steps?

I recently had a blood test, and my results show: Aspartate Aminotransferase (SGOT, Photometry): 37.3 U/L Alanine Aminotransferase (SGPT, Photometry): 76.3 U/L The SGPT value is significantly above the upper normal limit. Could this indicate a liver problem? Please advise.

Hello, my blood report shows SGOT 67. Is this a serious concern? Please suggest what I should do. I had earlier posted a question about a dry cough for the last month, and the doctor advised X-ray and blood tests. Everything came normal except SGOT elevated to 67. I work in the merchant navy, and if this does not get corrected, I may lose my job as I need to be medically fit every time I go on the ship. Please help. I am very worried about my health and job. Someone said there might be swelling in the liver, which is why the SGOT is 67.
