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.

SGOT of 67 is mildly high and may reflect liver strain, muscle stress, or recent meds. Since other tests are normal, avoid alcohol and fatty food. Recheck SGOT in 2 weeks.

What causes increased levels of SGPT and SGOT in blood?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a COVID recovered patient (recovered about one month ago). I recently received my liver function test results, which show that AST/SGOT is 44 and ALT/SGPT is 84, both slightly above the normal range. Could you please advise if this is something I should be concerned about? Is it possibly related to the recent COVID 19 infection, or should I undergo further tests or treatment?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My recent blood test results are as follows: Hemoglobin 11.5, ESR 38, SGPT 54, SGOT 48, WBC 12,800, Sodium 135.1, Potassium 3.0, Calcium 8.47, and Creatinine 1.0. Could you please help me understand what these results indicate and if there is any cause for concern?
